A/N: Welp, it sure took long. And because of that how about a quick recap of the previous chapter:

The press wants to get news about All Might.

Izuku gets elected as the class representative but he declined and gave it to Momo with Iida as vice-rep.

At lunchtime we get to know the students a little better and then chaos ensues but it's promptly stopped thanks to a quick intervention from Izuku, then he investigates outside.

Afterward, we get to see what a laser does to Izuku and an awkward moment with Mina afterward.

He asked a favor from Ibara and then he decided to begin to train Mineta, and afterward, he spars with Mirio, and we get to see Tamaki as well. They promise to have lunch together the next day to introduce the third senpai.

Finally, on his way home, he meets with Yu, aka, Mt. Lady, and a kiss and cringy stuff ensue.

That was a super TLDR. Now is time for the chapter. Hope you enjoy it, though I expect someone to say it has typos here and there. I mean, I don't mind, but just telling me: "There are some typos" Doesn't help, If you point them out, not only I'm going to correct them. (Eventually, because I'm lazy) But it also tells me what should I be looking for, it works, even if just a little. In that regard, thanks Mr. Malfunction, very cool. And BTW if I remember correctly, there was a guy who tried to correct me because I used the word "Thorax", saying it was ONLY for insects... um... yep, I'm just gonna leave this over here: Thorax: in humans and animals, the middle part of the body below the neck and above the waist.

Also thanks to everyone who PM just to see if I was okay, I appreciate it.

Welp, LET'S GOOOOO!

A cornered Cath

It was early in the morning, but time meant nothing for heroes and villains. Though if you asked the heroes, a hostage situation was too much for how early it was.

"Try to chase me and I'll crush the bones of this family." Said the swollen pink villain while flipping the heroes off.

"Damn it, he's too fast for how big he is." Cursed Kamui woods. "What do we do?"

"We should wait for a hero with a better quirk." Proposed another hero in the scene.

"Stop saying stupid things like that. We're heroes, if you can do it with what you have then just quit." Those harsh words came from Mt. Lady. If she was the same person when she debuted, she would've probably agreed with what her fellow hero said… but a green mop with cat ears had changed that. "There's always a way… you're just not seeing it, Yu." She told herself. "What would he do? What would his eyes see?" If she knew something about that boy, was how he could see stuff from another perspective, always thinking out of the box. "What can my Quirk do…? I need to be faster than this idiot." Her eyes wandered to the blue sky and a smirk appeared on her face. "Woods, throw me up in the air." She said.

"What? Why?" The wood hero was taken aback.

"We don't have time, just do it!" She snapped at him.

Wood wrapped around her waist and flung her up.

She was now in the air parallel to the villain, said villain just looked at her dumbfounded. She held her right arm with the other to keep it steady, and with her thumb held her middle finger. "Mountain peak bullet!" She shouted as she activated her gigantification and flick her finger. Her sudden growth put her in range of the villain, earning a good hit on the head, disorientating him. "Kamui! The family!"

She didn't have to tell him twice; wood had already snatched the three hostages and was now wrapping around the villain to subdue him.

Yu grinned widely at her success. She couldn't wait to tell Izuku about it, but she had a more immediate problem. "How do I land?" She shrank back, not wanting to cause collateral damage like every time, if she did then this wouldn't be a win in her book. So, she just closed her eyes and brace herself for the impact.

The impact never came. "That was an outstanding performance, Mt. Lady!"

She opened her eyes to find herself in the arms of someone. "A-All might?"

The smiling N. 1 hero put her down and gave her a thumbs up. "I was on my way to work when I heard someone needed help. Color me surprised when I find I wasn't need it at all." Every person in the surroundings began to shout his name, forgetting immediately about the rest of the heroes.

"H-he steals the spotlight even when he didn't do anything," Kamui commented a little depressed.

"I-I guess that's the Number 1 hero for you." Mt. Lady responded with a nervous tic on her left brow.

Toshinori gave the heroes an apologetic smile, but before he could say anything, he heard someone screaming 'hit-and-run'. "I can't be late!" Without a second thought, he jumped in the direction of the scream. "I need to do this quick, today is an important day for both classes." He thought as he took to the skies.

XOX

Izuku opened the door to classroom 1-A. Today he wasn't late, but he wasn't early either.

"Midoriya!" He was greeted with a screech courtesy of Mineta who ran to him. His face looked angry for some reason.

"Good morning, Mineta-kun?" Izuku responded, confused.

"Don't give me that." Minoru shut him down. "You knew Mt. Lady and didn't tell me?"

"Wut?" That caught him off guard.

"I'm talking about this!" The midget showed him his cellphone where there was a display of an article about the heroine in question with a photo of her hugging him. The articles haven't been online for even 24 hours and already blew up.

The article speculated about their relationship, going from friends to an indecent relationship due to how affectioned she looked towards the minor who was called "A promising young hero". No wonder it blew off.

"Goddamn it, Yu…" Izuku muttered while he pinched the bridge of his nose. It was too early for this.

"Well?" The little idiot tapped his foot.

It was then that Izuku noticed something. It was too quiet. Looking around he noticed how everyone was failing miserably at trying to hide their curiosity. Was he really that interesting to everyone else?

"Well, what? Why do you even care in the first place?" The cat boy squinted his eyes at the midget.

"Dude! She's super hot! You have to introduce me to her!" Mineta exclaimed as he grabbed onto his uniform. "Wait. What is your relationship with her?" This time he squinted his eyes back.

"We're… …close friends." Izuku paused for a moment, looking for the right words. "And if you want to meet her just because she is hot, you're up for a big disappointment."

"Come on, we're friends, right pal?" Mineta insisted.

"And it's because we are friends, that I'm telling you this. Focus on your goals, girls can come later." Izuku was getting a little exasperated.

"But girls are my goal!" The purple kid groaned.

"*Sigh* You're just acting like… what was it called again?" Izuku tapped his forehead trying to remember the right word.

"A simp?" Someone said.

The cat boy snapped his fingers. "A simp, yeah. Thanks, Kaminari-kun." The blond gave him a thumbs up. "Listen, Mineta-kun. Girls are not a goal, they're people, the same as you or anyone. Don't put them on a pedestal and don't lower yourself, everyone is… hehe… equal." Izuku chuckled to himself. Not too long ago he thought the opposite, that nobody was born equal. And if you looked only from a Quirk standpoint you may be right. But the thing was that Quirks are not everything in life, just a part of it. "Believe it or not, I couldn't talk to girls properly because I was thinking like that. Especially to pretty ones." He chuckled again. "Just ask Yaoyorozu." Izuku looked at the named girl with a funny grin. "You remember the first time we met, right? I stutter all the way through." He laughed at himself.

Momo was caught off guard and just stood there with her mouth half-open. Nobody could blame her though; everyone was paying close attention to the conversation especially the girls. But even in her stupor, something didn't go unnoticed. Izuku had indirectly called her pretty, making her cheeks gain a tint of pink. Everybody noticed the indirect compliment. everyone except for the guy who said it.

"If I still was my former self, I couldn't talk with any girl here." Izuku continued in his obliviousness.

Mineta was left slack-jawed seeing how all the girl blushed a little, in Toru's case, she was squirming and what he assumed was she covering her face with her arms, probably knowing that Izuku could perfectly see her if he turned around. She was still coming around the fact that someone could actually see her. "T-this guy… He's a fucking natural! The bastard!" Mineta was cursing inside his head.

"Anyway, how about you tried to know them first as people and if you're interested in someone, then let them know." Izuku proposed as he turned around to sit down, Aizawa was probably about to arrive.

Mineta was still fuming at the fact that the guy who was telling him to not seek girls was a natural with them.

"He's right, you know?" Said Kyoka to the midget. She was the one who composed herself the quickest.

"I don't want to hear that from a cutting board." Mineta, still salty about it, answered without thinking.

"What?!" Jiro slammed her hands on her desk and got up with a frown.

Realizing his mistake, Mineta ran after the cat boy. "AH! Midoriya, help me!" He hid from the angry Kyoka behind one of Izuku's legs, using him as a shield.

"Jiro-san, please calm down." Izuku tried to placate the girl, after all, he couldn't ignore a cry for help. "He's just as immature as he looks like." Mineta snapped his head at his friend, taking offense to that comment. "You're probably someone awesome to hang out with and have a great personality, so don't let a comment like that take away your cool."

The compliment out of the blue caught her off guard. "A-ah… T-thanks…? I guess?" Kyoka didn't know how to respond. The memory of him thinking she's cute, resurfaced, making her cheeks take a pink tint.

"But… I supposed he needs to learn from his mistakes." Izuku then grabbed the midget and held it in front of him. "You can smack him once, okay?"

"Eh?" It took a moment for Mineta to registered what happened. "Ah! No! Let me go, you bastard! You betrayed me!" He tried to scape the cat boy's grasp, which was a fruitless effort. He then noticed how Kyoka was cracking her knuckles with a grin on her face, what was coming was not a smack but a punch, which made him struggle harder but with no results. "NOOOOO!" He screamed when the punch was launched.

The door slid open revealing a tired and grumpy Shota Aizawa. He took a look at his students with squinted eyes.

Everyone was on their respective desk, sitting straight with a smile on their faces. Except for Katsuki who was frowning and Shoto had his serious and uninterested face, but that was usual.

"Strange… I swear I heard someone screaming just a second ago." The teacher of 1-A thought. He shrugged and began his class.

XOX

Lunchtime.

Izuku just got his portion from Lunch Rush and now was looking for Mirio and Tamaki. It didn't take long when…

"Oi! Midoriya! Here!" Mirio shouted getting the attention of everyone in the cafeteria.

He and Tamaki were at one side of the table, opposed to them was another person. Izuku could only see a long periwinkle mane. "That must be Hado-senpai." He thought.

The cat boy approached them. "Togata-senpai, Amajiki-senpai." He greeted and then glanced at the girl. Said girl decided to look the other side. "Is she ignoring me?"

The two male upper classmates looked at each other in confusion, they knew how she usually acted so this was strange for them. "A-anyway, sit down, Midoriya. " Mirio offered.

There was plenty of space to sit down, it only was they 3 after all. So, he did, next to the girl.

When he did that, they heard a squeal coming from said girl, who immediately looked at him with the biggest smile he has seen. "It worked!" She exclaimed in excitement.

The three males were at a loss. "W-what worked?" Takami asked.

"I read on the internet that if you ignored a cat, they get curious about you and will approach you on their own accord." She explained.

Then it clicked, it was about his quirk. Tamaki and Mirio relaxed knowing it was still her. Izuku not so much. "Wait, it's that true?"

"Well, we deserved attention like the fantastic being we are," Neko responded with pride.

"So, what's your quirk name? What can you actually do? It's only domestic cats or maybe a tiger? Uh! Do you spit hairballs? Do you like to bathe or do you lick yourself clean?" The girl, Hado, began to bombard him with questions about his quirk.

Tamaki and Mirio got a little worried about Izuku. Nejire always scared new people who didn't know her. They were going to make it slow for him but they underestimated their friend.

"Um…" They saw Izuku a little lost. Mirio was going to intervene but he never got the chance. "My name is Izuku Midoriya, nice to meet you. My Quirk is called 'Feline' and I can do everything the feline family can do, that includes domestic cats, tigers, lions, and everything else. I haven't spat a hairball yet because I don't clean myself with my tongue thanks to the traits of other felines that like water." Izuku answered. Apparently, he was just processing the questions. "What's your Quirk, Hado-senpai? Name? Capabilities? Drawbacks?"

Nejire was trembling with an even bigger smile if that was possible. "Its name is 'Wave Motion' I can convert my vitality into energy and release it into a spiral shockwave, it's not that fast, and if my stamina runs out I'm left super tired. I can shot it from my hands and feet and it's super powerful." Izuku was paying his complete attention to her, nodding every now and then. "Oh! And I'm Nejire Hado." She beamed at him.

"If it's energy then can you augment your mobility, maybe even fly with the right application. Your control has to be precise to not waste it and tired yourself quickly." Midoriya said, talking more to himself than anyone else.

Nejire grabbed him by the shoulders. "Yes! I can do all of that. How did you get it?!"

"Midoriya is very good with quirks, he figured mine by only sparing with me," Mirio answered, glad that they were getting along. He already knew they would but it was a relief seeing it.

The quartet didn't notice they had gathered quite the attention.

"Why is Midoriya with such a hot girl?! That's unfair!" Mineta was raging, seeing it from the distance, he was with some of his classmates.

"Those are upper classmates, right?" Momo inquired.

"Yes, Togata is the blonde, and Amajiki is the one with black hair. They are third years. We're friends." Kirishima responded with a smile. "The girl… I don't know her, maybe a friend of theirs?"

"How do you know them?" Mina asked.

"Togata-senpai is very friendly and manly. Izuku and I ran into him and we just became friends, he introduced us to Amajiki-senpai. He has a chicken heart but it's super strong when he tries. I've spared with him, he's also very manly on the inside." Kirishima finished with a smirk as he clenched his fist.

They weren't the only ones talking about the quartet.

Other third years were also talking to each other.

"Isn't that the Midoriya guy? The very promising one." One asked his classmates

"Yeah." Came the answer.

"What's he doing with the three losers?"

"Don't know. Maybe they're his fans, hahaha." They laughed but those comments didn't go unheard.

"That wasn't very nice." Izuku frowned. He was about to get up and go talk to those who were making fun of Mirio, Tamaki, and Nejire. However, he was pulled back down by Nejire herself. A tender smile on her face.

"Let them be, Midoriya." She said. Her demeanor was calmer than before.

"But—" He tried to protest.

"We'll show them at the next sports festival. Don't worry about it." Mirio spoke this time. He was behaving like Nejire. Tamaki just nodded.

Izuku smiled. "I see… then please do."

"Have you noticed that your ears twitch when you get upset?" Came a random question from Hado.

"Eh? They do?" He didn't know that.

"Mmm!" She nodded with a childish smile. "It's super cute!" His face began to heat up. "Aha!" Nejire squealed then she grabbed him and pulled him into a hug with his face against her chest, she began to pat his head. "He's also bad with compliments. Mirio, Tamaki, can I keep it?" The two sweat-dropped it. This was the first time they saw her like this. It's was also the first time she had met someone who could keep up with her and got upset on her and her friend's behalf.

"I already called dibs on him!" Came a random feminine shout in the cafeteria, making everyone looked around.

Izuku knew that voice though. "Oh, God…"

Nobody noticed Kendo covering Setsuna's mouth.

Mineta was crying tears of blood due to his jealousy.

XOX

After lunch, everyone was back at their classroom, 1A was waiting for All Might to arrive and start the class of heroics.

The teacher who arrived was Aizawa. "Today you'll be supervised by me, All Might, and somebody else… Unfortunately, the principal decided to change it a little bit…" Aizawa muttered the last part.

"What are we doing?!" Sero asked with his hand raised.

"Be the hero everyone needs, whether it's a flood or any other disaster… It's the trial of rescue!" Eraser showed them the card and everyone began to talk with each other. "Don't get ahead of yourselves." He startled them. "It's up to you all if you used your customs or not, some of them may not be fit for the task after all. The training area is fairly far so we'll go by bus. Now get ready."

When class 1A arrived at the bus, they noticed class 1B doing the same.

Eraser Head and Vlad King stood together. Aizawa spoke. "From today onwards it was decided that class 1A…"

"And 1B are going to attend to the class of heroics together." Sekijiro finished. All the students were surprised. "This will help all of you grow stronger, be rivalry or friendship, we hope you helped each other along the way."

"You have ten minutes to get acquittanced with the other class, then we'll depart." Aizawa finished.

A millisecond later.

"Izuku!" Something crashed against said cat boy at Mach speed, knocking him down.

When everyone looked at him, they saw a girl in a blue scaly bodysuit on top of him, rubbing her face against his right cheek.

"Ah~ yes, how I miss this, I'm recharging now." The girl said.

"There's another one?!" Mineta screamed inside his head.

"Setsuna, please not in front of everyone." Izuku pleaded.

"Nah-ah. Don't care." She ignored it.

They were now the center of attention. Class 1A was looking at him with different kinds of reactions. The girl felt weird… just like in lunch.

"After that senpai kept you all to herself, now it's my turn," Setsuna said.

"J-Juzo, please." He tried looking for help as he sat up.

Said guy, that was now clad in orange armor, was approaching them. Then without warning, he began to pet Midoriya.

The cat boy was mortified. "Not you too."

Kaminari and Sero began to laugh at him.

"Guys that's enough." Kendo came as the voice of reason, taking her classmate off of him. She then helped him get up.

"*Sigh* Thanks. Kend—" He was about to thank her when he felt a hand patting his head.

"Ah, you just wanted to do it yourself!" Setsuna shouted.

"What?" Itsuka looked at her, confused.

"Your hand." Juzo pointed out.

The ginger looked back, finding her hand on the head of a Midoriya that was about to cry. "Wah! I'm sorry!" She took her hand away with a blush on her cheeks. "I don't know what happened! I swear!" Kendo grabbed her hand and frown at it. "Why did you betray me!"

"Is this bullying?" Sato whispered to Tokoyami.

The bird head just shrugged.

After that, the commotion began to die down and everyone began to know each other a little bit.

"Hey, Midoriya." Someone approached him from behind.

"Ah, how are you doing, Monoma-san?" He greeted the blond.

"Good, thanks for asking…" He got quiet for a moment. "So… did you do it?"

"Did I do what?" Izuku tilted his head at the question.

"You said you were going to make both classes to take heroics at the same time and here we are…" Neito further explained.

"Oh…" A smile appeared on his face. "Yeah, I don't know what you're talking about." Midoriya denied it.

The blond just shrugged with a smirk on his face. "Whatever." He wasn't entirely convinced, but he'll let the subject drop for the time being.

When Monoma walked away to talk with someone else, Izuku's eye's landed on a flouting mantle, so he approached it.

"Hagakure?" The mantle twitched.

"M-Midoriya! Hi." She was startled.

"You don't have to cover yourself anymore. I cannot longer see you." He said.

"You can't?!" For some reason, she sounded in panic. "W-why?!"

"I asked a friend to modified my glasses so I can see like anyone else." He responded, pointing at said glasses of his costume. "Now that I think about it, Mei was too eager to do it… a little angry while doing it too… was it a bad day for her?" He saw Neko facepalmed inside of his head for some reason. "What? Mei is not a person who gets jealous, she just likes her babies too much."

"O-oh… phew." She sounded relieved. "So, you can't see me?" Toru tried to confirm.

"Yeah, I figured this would be better for the both of us when we're attending heroics." He answered. "A shame I can see your face though, hahaha…" Izuku said jokingly to lift the mood.

"Eh?!" Flouting gloves tried to cover an invisible face. She tried to cover her blush from him. Then she remembers he couldn't see her now. The poor girl didn't know what to do anymore.

Mineta, that was close by, was glaring at Midoriya. "Should I kill him?"

XOX

Thank goodness they were forced to be on their respective buses. He didn't want Setsuna to be there sitting on his lap as she shamelessly claimed.

"Kirishima-kun. I always say what is in my mind." Asui, that was between the red-head and the cat boy, said, startling both boys for a moment.

"Y-yes?" Eijiro answered.

"You quirk reminds me of All Might's." She finished. Both boys looked at each other with deadpanned faces.

"What are you talking about? All Might doesn't harden." Ashido intervened, knowing the red-head the longest. "It became flashier with that power boost it gave you, though."

"Mine is powerful and flashy, perfect for a pro," Aoyama spoke.

"But it'd be bad if your stomach collapsed." The blond gave Mina a grim look.

"Bakugo and Todoroki are the same." Kirishima tried to diverge the attention off of him.

"But their attitude though…" Midoriya murmured to himself.

Tsuyu nodded. "Bakugo's always fuming so he won't be popular."

"You bitch! I'll be popular too!" The ash-blond exploded.

"You just proved her point dumbass," Izuku told him with a derogatory face.

"Wanna die, Deku?!" Katsuki was completely ignored.

After everyone calmed down, Izuku felt someone leaning against his shoulder. He found Asui resting her head on his shoulder with her eyes close, the other also noticed.

"Tired?" He asked. She nodded. "I see." He didn't say much and just let her be.

"That was an option?!" The other girls thought.

"I'm killing him!" Minoru thought.

XOX

A plotting for murder later.

They arrived at a huge dome which made both classes thought of Universal Studios Japan.

"Flood wrecks, landslides, fire, etc… This is a practical training area I created to simulate all kinds of accidents and disasters and its name is… The Unforeseen Simulation Joint." A person, wearing what seems like a spacesuit, spoke, catching everyone's attention.

"It's Thirteen!" Many students exclaimed, recognizing the pro hero, yet Uraraka seemed the most excited among them.

"Hey, 13. Where's All Might? He was supposed to be here already." Vlad King asked.

"He should be here around this time." Eraser Head agreed with his co-worker.

"From what I was told… he's been doing hero work." The space hero answered, showing three fingers as a hidden message.

"That guy's the height of irrational…" Muttered Shota as the two homeroom teachers understood with the finger signal. They didn't saw Kirishima showing a knowing smile and Midoriya shaking his head in resignation.

They decided to continue with the plan. 13 got everyone's attention with a great speech about the usage of Quirks, earning many applauses.

"Alright first thing first—" Aizawa stopped mid-sentence when he noticed a black dot appeared at the center of the facility.

Then the dot expanded and a man with a hand covering his face came through it, many other people followed after.

"Huddle together and don't move!" Eraser shouted as he put on his goggles.

"13, protect the students!" Vlad got ready as well.

"It's this like the entrance exam?" Tetsutetsu asked.

"Those are villains!" Eraser warned them.

Fear began to sink deep into the student's minds.

The black mist that the villains used as a portal gained the shape of a person and began to speak. "Eraser head and Thirteen… According to the teacher's curriculum, All Might should be here as well, yet it's nowhere to be seen. There's also Vlad King and another twenty students. Did they change it?"

"Where is he… we went through all this trouble and got so many people… You can't tell me All Might, The symbol of peace, it's not here…" The man with severed hands around his body spoke. "I wonder if he'll show up if we kill all the kids." Some villains laughed at that.

Fear grew inside the students, dread overtaking them little by little… And then all of that was redirected to a new source that caught the attention of them, along with the heroes' and villains' attention too.

"Grrrrr…" A guttural growl echoed, silencing everyone and by default amplifying it.

Eyes and head turned to see an Izuku with his muscles tensed a ready, claws completely out, and displaying his fangs, something that nobody had ever seen him do before. His tail swung from side to side and his ears were pulled back. His first aid kit laid on the ground, forgotten. It appeared as if it was a beast ready to attack, which wasn't far from the truth.

Those words… Sounding so casual talking about killing everyone like if it was the weather, especially people precious to him, it put him on edge immediately.

The growl came again. "Grrrr… Try it… Grr… Try it and you'll lose a real hand for that." He didn't register what he said, he was too focused on the threat.

Every student had their eyes wide in shock, even Bakugo and Todoroki. Everyone knew the cat boy, some better than others but still. Seeing the calm, friendly, and smiley Izuku looking the complete opposite was… scary, even for Kirishima who was the closest person there, he had never seen his brother like this.

One of the most confused individuals among the students was Jurota Shishida of class B. He had never talked with Izuku Midoriya before and only heard about him from some of his classmates. However, when he saw the cat boy for the first time when they were going to take to the buses to get here, a strange feeling overtook him. Midoriya felt like a superior to him, someone he should respect, and that was just from the first glance. And now… he felt like he had two options, back up Midoriya if he jumped into action or make himself so small that Midoriya wouldn't notice him. Did this have to do something with his Quirk: Beast?

Eraser and Vlad were a little more controlled with their reactions, they both reached the same conclusion. This was the threat that required the attention of all zero-pointer in the entrance exam. They got ready to takedown the student if it showed to be a problem.

The villains weren't faring better either. Many of them were nervous watching the boy. Then they heard another growl, much quitter and it didn't come from the boy.

The man with the hands around his body looked to his side, seeing the huge villain with the exposed brain growl in the direction of the boy.

"Kurogiri, what's happening with Nomu?" the man asked.

"I… do not know, Tomura Shigaraki." The man who was covered by black mist, as his name implied, responded. This was not a behavior the villain Nomu had; he didn't hand any behavior, to begin with.

Nobody knew what to do, everyone felt afraid of Izuku. Those who had interacted with him the most at least knew something: They didn't want to see him like this. "M-Midori?/Midoriya?/Deku-kun?/Izuku?" Many broke the suffocating silence, and the growls stopped.

Izuku froze in place, then his head turned slowly to look at his fellow students. They couldn't see his eyes due to his dark glasses but they felt they were as wide in shock as theirs.

He then looked at his hands for a second. "Did… Did I want to sink my teeth in their neck?" He heard short gasps and looked back at the students some were covering their mouths. "I said that out loud, didn't I?" He didn't need an answer for that. He really wanted to laugh right now. Wasn't funny? He thought of harming and probably killing people just after 13 gave an amazing speech of how their Quirks are made to save people. Oh, how he wished he could laugh right now, but that'll just make things worse "Sorry, you saw me like that…" Yet he clenched his fist just enough to not bleed and frowned. "But I won't take back what I said." He spoke louder so the villains could hear him. "So, use your Quirk, Korogiri-san." That caught their attention, for it meant he heard them. "And take everyone back to where you came from before I make you regret ever thinking of coming here." What he said wasn't a threat but a promise.

His words brought some sort of stalemate as Kurogiri understood that his Quirk has been figured out.

"Who's that brat, Kurogiri? I feel I have seen him before." Tomura asked his lackey.

"Izuku Midoriya, a kid who has been gaining popularity due to his involvement in multiple incidents where he acted heroically. People and heroes like him, that's why he has gotten scot-free after he broke the law. He's seemed as an uprising promise to become a hero." Kurogiri answered the best he could.

"Hm… We definitely have to kill him." Shigaraki gave a wicked grin. "That will show everyone how those expectations people have, can be easily broken, just like it'll happen today with All Might." He looked at the cat boy to see his reaction, he wanted to see him scared. Yet he never got the satisfaction as Midoriya was already ignoring him and showing more interest in the building that imprison all of them.

"Thirteen, evacuate the students and try to contact the school. There's a chance there's an electro-wave type guy who's interfering with the alarms." Eraser said, walking to the stairs.

"We'll buy you as much time as we can." Vlad King walked behind him.

However, before they could jump into action, both were grabbed by the hand. They looked back to find Midoriya holding them tight.

"Are you seriously going to leave everyone when there's a guy who can literally teleport behind us in the blink of an eye? at the blink of your eye." It was clear he was talking to Eraser.

The two pros analyzed his words and had to give a point to the student. "*Sigh* I can't believe I'm going to ask this but, do you have a plan, Midoriya?"

"How many Quirks can you erase at the same time from here?" Izuku answered with a question.

"Not all of them."

"At least Kurogiri?"

Aizawa nodded. "I can do that."

"Wait for my signal." The boy said.

The villains began to move towards them.

"I'll go and keep them busy." Vlad king began to walk towards the stairs. "As I said, I'll give you enough time." This time Izuku didn't stop him, he knew it was necessary.

Sekijiro then ran down as Izuku walked back to the group of students.

"All right Firing squad! Here we go!" A villain shouted

"Should I erase their Quirks?" Shota pondered for a second, but his priority was Kurogiri, besides, Vlad wasn't a pushover.

When the projectiles were shot, and they were met with a blood wall. Vlad didn't stop for a single second, getting to them faster than they expected. "You will all pay…" Kan spoke calmly when in reality he was pissed beyond belief. His hands grasped the head of two villains while blood poured out of the back of his palms, wrapping around the rest of the firing squad. In a second their heads were slammed against each other, knocking them down. "You dare to scare my precious students… I hope you don't expect any mercy from me." He walked slowly towards the rest of the villains, menacingly. The defeated villains were left behind, forgotten like pieces of trash.

Back when Vlad king was just descending the stairs, Izuku approached the rest of the students.

"Iida-kun." The vice-rep was startled. "I want to ask a favor from you."

"I-I'll do what I can," Tenya answered, still a little bit shaken from all that had happened, many others were the same.

"When I give you the signal. I want you to run as fast as you can back to U.A. and called reinforcements." Izuku spoke. Students around him understood his reasoning.

"I can't lea—!" Iida tried to protest but a hand clasped itself around his helmet and pulled him down. It was Izuku who did it, surprising everyone with how harsh the action was.

"Do not shout… We don't want the villains to hear what we're planning." His voice was colder than usual.

"But you can also—" Tenya tried to protest again, this time in a quieter voice, yet he was cut off again.

"I know I'm as fast as you but I can't maintain that velocity for as long as you can. Please, I'm counting on you." Izuku smiled with the last part, reassuring the conflicted speedster.

"I'll do my best," Iida answered with a confident nod.

"There may also be villains outside so…" He looked around. "There's anyone in class B who can keep a high velocity?"

Someone stepped up. Jurota made himself known. "My name is Jurota Shishida. With my Quirk: Beast. It allows me to transform and enhanced my physical capabilities; speed and stamina being among them."

"Thanks, can you carry someone while you're transformed?"

"On my back, yes, I can." The hairy boy nodded.

"Then, someone with a versatile range Quirk?" He asked around again.

"Me." A blond girl with long horns answered. "I am Pony Tsunotori" The girl introduced herself, an English accent in her voice. Pony tried and failed to explain her Quirk, due to mixing English and Japanese.

Many looked at themselves in confusion, making the girl deflate and blush in embarrassment.

"You can shoot your horns and a new pair will regrow almost immediately. And you can also remotely control them? That's awesome and perfect for the job." Izuku summarized.

"Wait, he understood that?!" Was everyone's thought. The thing was that as long as the subject was a Quirk, Izuku would be able to understand it to some level.

Pony's face lit up like a flare, it was almost blinding how she beamed at him like a little kid would smile at his favorite thing in the world. Pony was downright adorable. "why do I want to pet her? Is this how everyone feels about me?" Midoriya wondered for a second. "You two are going to be Iida's backup in case there villains outside.

"We fight them." Jurota nodded.

"Yeah, yeah. Like DBZ, yes?" Pony punched the air, showing her excitement.

"No." Izuku denied. "You keep running, if anyone tried to get in your way, Tsunotori-san will push them out of your way with her horns."

"Oooh, wow!" Pony exclaimed in surprise. The trio then nodded; it was a sound plan.

"However, your safety comes first. If you cannot make it then forget about it… Please, stay safe." Izuku bowed to them at the end.

They were going to say that he shouldn't bow or that they would make it no matter what, but now was not the time for that.

"What do the rest of us do?" Momo as the representative of 1A spoke.

"We want to help too." Kendo did the same.

"For now…" They waited for their roles. "Take a deep breath and calm down." That surprised them. "I know that this situation must be scary but don't fear…" A dumb smile appeared on his face. "For I am here…" That cheesy line taken from the symbol of peace was stupid, but it did its work to ease their worries. "The teachers are pros too, and if all of you made it to heroics then I'm sure you can take some nobodies that called themselves villains." That gave them confidence. "However, we're not engaging them in a fight, we'll escape behind them." He pointed at the first three students. "They're a backup plan in case something goes wrong understood?" Everyone nodded.

"Who put you in charge, Deku?" Katsuki growled at him in defiance.

"You don't have to follow me, Bakugo…" Izuku turned his head, looking at his childhood friend with a stoic face. "But if you or your actions put someone in danger, I will knock you down and carry your body out."

"YOU WANNA—" Katsuki lost his temper but before he could yell more, a hand clasped over his mouth, with a grip strong enough to make him grunt in pain.

The hand belonged to Izuku, who moved close to him before Katsuki could react. He gave him three simple words that shut him down. "Don't test me." It was made clear that Midoriya could not be messed with. He didn't want to waste the precious time Vlad King was getting them, especially not with Bakugo.

"Bro…" Kirishima intervened, worried about how Izuku was acting and a little bit for Bakugo's wellbeing.

The cat boy released his grasp. "Be ready for anything." He told his red brother over his shoulder. "Same for you Bakugo, though I don't think I need to tell you that."

The ash-blond rubbed his mouth and jaw with a hand trying to lessen the pain. "Fuck off…" He muttered, knowing better than to raise his voice again. "Fucking Deku, when did he get this strong?"

Taking that as confirmation, Izuku moved to the last person he needed to talk to. "Thirteen."

"Yes, Midoriya? Do you need my help in anything?" The space hero asked.

"Would you mind tearing apart the doors open with your Quirk? There's a chance they may not be working or there is a barricade outside. Your Quirk would be the easiest to deal with something like that." It was a difficult thing to ask because the space hero was the one who built the place.

And Thirteen easily caught on to this. "Hehehe, don't worry Midoriya, I'd bring this whole place to ruin if it means all of you get to be safe."

The cat boy smiled at her response. Truly the answer of a hero. "Thanks, when I give to signal to Eraser Head you do your part." The pro hero nodded and walk to take their position.

Looking around, Izuku saw everyone getting ready. He took a deep breath and shouted the simple signal.

"Now!"

Eraser's eyes shined behind his googles, focusing his gaze on the villain known as Kurogiri, catching the villains off guard.

"Blackhole!" Thirteen shouted opening the segment on each finger of the spacesuit. The doors of the USJ were banished in mere seconds.

"You three, go now!" Izuku shouted again.

Ida didn't wait for a second call, speeding directly at the destroyed doors.

Jurota activated his Quirk as Pony jumped on his now huge back and then they were gone behind Iida.

Izuku knew the possibility of villains outside waiting for them was slim but it was not zero. He knew better than to leave things to dumb luck.

The cat boy turned around to face the villains that were still dumbfounded in their places, and with a shit-eating grin plastered on his face, he said. "You wanted to meet All Might? Then wait for him to arrive along with every single hero in U.A."

The man with hands over his body known as Shigaraki began to scratch his neck in exasperation. "So annoying, so annoying, so annoying. I seriously want to kill him now." He spared a glance to Eraser. The pro hero had his Quirk focused on Kurogiri.

"We should take our leave, Tomura Shigaraki," Kurogiri suggested.

Tomura glanced at the behemoth at his side. "No. We have the means to kill All Might. And we can escape whenever we want as long as we take down Eraser." A creepy grin spread behind the hand covering his face. "You know what to do Kurogiri." The black mist nodded.

Meanwhile, the students were already heading to the exit under thirteen surveillance.

It was about that time when Eraser came to his limit and closed his eyes. Then it happened.

"I'm afraid I cannot allow anyone else to leave." Kurogiri appeared on their way. "This may be impromptus but we are the league of villains."

"Like Midoriya said, at the blink of my eyes." Eraser thought for a moment as he turned around to stop whatever the villain was planning. However, just a few inches away from his face was a hand coming out of a portal created by the mentioned villain. So, out of pure reaction Eraser moved backward, falling at the stairs at his back, either way, it was better than to find out what that hand was going to do to him. His only regret was that he left the students, he just had to trust Thirteen with them.

"Tsk." Shigaraki clicked his tongue at the failed attempt of killing the pro.

"It's unfortunate that Mr. All Might is not present. Was he not meant to be in attendance at this juncture?" Kurogiri continued with his speech, yet his yellow eyes were focused on two wide emeralds staring back at him among the students. Izuku Midoriya's eyes were unsettling as they seemed to analyze everything down to the most minuscule of details. "Either way, it matters not. I'll just do my part…"

Before he could finish his sentence, three bodies were launched at the villain. Katsuki, Eijiro and Tetsutetsu, all three attacked.

"Not if we end you first!" Kirishima yelled.

They went through the villain. "Bet you didn't see that coming!" Tetsutetsu spoke.

Yet Kurogiri reformed completely without a scratch, looking as if their endeavor was meaningless. "That was close…" Said the villain. Nobody noticed Izuku's ears twitching. "Yes… Students though you may be, you're still the best of the best."

"Get back the three of you!" Thirteen yelled as she prepared to use her Quirk.

However, it was too late as the villain expanded his mist to engulf them, making everyone go quiet in panic.

It was perfect for everyone to listen. "He still has a main body that can be hit!" It was hard to see in the darkness, but that voice was unmistakable. And as the voice yelled, some students found themselves being pushed out of the mist. "He wouldn't have said it was close otherwise!" The voice continued and more students found themselves being pushed away. "But be careful when you attack him! He can redirect your attack at yourself or your allies!" The people that were still inside the mist were about to be transported to another location. "To everyone else. Do your best!" And then they were gone.

Nine students were left behind, Uraraka, Sero, Sato, Shouji, Toru, Kuroiro, Setsuna, Nirengeki and Reiko.

Mezo Shouji saved Sero and Sato but the rest were laying on the floor looking at where their classmates had disappeared, their faces were a mix of shock, dread, and disbelief. Though in their head was one thing only. "Midoriya!" The person who saved them.

XOX

Said cat boy landed perfectly on his feet and soon enough took a look at his surroundings. An urban environment with heavy rainfall and strong wings.

He had picked up his first-aid kit at some point and had it attached to the ring on his tail through a very strong magnet so he could act freely without worrying about it.

"I'm in the downpour zone…" Izuku stated. His face was cold and focused as he analyzed everything. "We've most likely been scattered around the USJ. But why?" As he asked himself, he heard noises behind him. Looking over his shoulder he found the reason. "Oh… Villains." There was a considerable amount of them.

"Hehehe, sweat, we get to kill the famous kid." One of the villains commented.

Yet Midoriya didn't seem like he was paying them attention. He was focused on listening to something. It was quite hard to do so with the downpour.

"Hahaha, he's frozen in fear. So pathetic." Another villain made fun, making others laugh.

"Kill him!" Another roared and they charged. However, they came to a stop when their target was nowhere to be found.

It was the first villain who talked that felt it. Something touched the top of his head.

It's not like anyone saw it, but Izuku used the head of the villain as a platform to jump in a certain direction, the only thing the villains saw was one of their partners suddenly kiss the ground and getting knocked out.

In midair, Midoriya's eyes spotted two figures surrounded by villains.

…

…

"Aah! Jeez! This stupid downpour doesn't let me use my acid how I want!" Exclaimed Mina with her back against her partner's, with her fist on guard.

"We're surrounded. The only way out is beating them." Mashirao took his stance, his tail ready.

The villains around them chuckled. "You know, the girl is pretty cute." One villain commented while looking at Ashido. Some female villains among them stare daggers at them knowing where they were going. "Maybe we could have some fun with her before— " Before the villain could finish, he was crushed against the ground under an impassive Midoriya. And in a matter of a second three more villains around him went flying, already unconscious.

"Midoriya!" The two students shouted happily at the sight of their classmate.

Without sparing them any words, the cat boy moved to their position quickly.

Confidence returned to the two students as they prepared to fight. Yet Mina squeal when she felt being carried bridal style. "Ojiro, on my back now!" Midoriya yelled.

The teen with the thick tail was stunned for a moment then he complied, getting on the feline's back.

Then like a bullet, Midoriya moved, pulling the same move as before and using an unsuspected villain's head as a platform to escape the ring of villains surrounding them.

He escaped through the streets without looking back to see if he was being chased, making a beeline for an alleyway. "Hold tight." He warned them before he began to jump from wall to wall. It wasn't enough of a warning as both classmates began to scream.

They made it quickly to the eighth floor where they entered through a window.

"Um… guys, it's okay now. I stopped," Izuku spoke with a deadpanned face as he was being hugged tightly by his two classmates who had their eyes close and held him for dear life… Of course, they were still screaming.

"Eh?" Both snapped their eyes open, noticing they were safe now. They soon found consolation in the solid ground.

"I thought I was going to die," Mashirao said while holding his heart.

"T-Too scary. I prefer fighting the villains" Mina spoke while laying on the floor with her behinds up in the air. Her left cheek kissing the floor. "Don't do that again Midori!" She snapped at her savior with renewed energy. "Eh?" She said eloquently when she noticed the cat boy walking to the window from where they entered. "W-Where are you going… Midori?" She asked a little scared. Was he abandoning them?

"You're not the only ones here," Izuku answered without looking back. "Stay here, okay?" He climbed the window frame, then he gave them a tranquil smile over his shoulder. "I'll be back in a sec." then he was gone.

Izuku moved through the top of the buildings with ease, and soon enough he found his targets, another duo. This time they were being chased by a mob of villains.

He took something out of one of his pockets, a metal cylinder. "Thanks for this baby, Mei." As he said those words, he aimed the cylinder to the roof of the building he was currently on top of and press a button. The projectile shot by the cylinder pierced the roof, a metal cable connected both ends. It was a compact graplin hook.

Without looking back, the cat boy ran to the edge of the building. "I don't remember testing this one…" He thought out loud without stopping. "I guess it's my turn to be the dad and see if it works." He jumped, not doubting for a second the work of his friend and trusting it with his life quite literally right now.

It did its work flawlessly, preventing him from reaching the ground and leaving him hanging on an acceptable height for him. Pressing the same button made the grappling hook retract, landing harmlessly.

Izuku grinned for a moment at another great success and then he took off.

…

…

"We should just turn around and fight them!" Yelled Kendo to her classmate.

"Are you out of your mind?! There're too many! Let's just find a better place then we fight them!" It was a reasonable proposal made by Monoma.

"But we can take them now! We're just losing stamina like this!" The ginger still complained.

"Stop being so stubborn, you gorilla woman!" The blond yelled. His class representative was smart but on times like this, she could be quite hotheaded.

"Who're you calling gorilla?! Do you want me to punch—" She never finished her threat as she noticed someone reaching them from the far-right side of the sidewalk.

"What?!" Monoma turned his head a noticed it as well. "Wait, that's…"

Unnoticed by the villains, Izuku was closing in from the sidewalk, his eyes focused on the evildoers.

When he was aligned with the first row of villains, he jumped to the wall and used it to take impulse, cracking the wall in the process, and as he flew at the villains, he swept with his right leg aiming at their feet.

The first row tripped over. The villains behind them, caught off guard, trip on their colleagues halting the chase.

Not even sparing a glance at his handiwork, Izuku moved to his fellow students, taking one bridal style and the other in his back like before.

"Wait! Why am I the one being carried like this?!" Monoma asked in the cat boy's arms. "Shouldn't be the other way around?"

"Ah, sorry. You just looked the more fragile out of you two." Izuku apologized as he ran away. Kendo smirked over his shoulder at her classmate, making Neito fumed. They soon arrived at the same alleyway. "Hold tight." He did the same as before and enter the eighth floor.

"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!" And just as before the two students of class B were screaming, even though they already arrived at their destination.

"Ugh…" Yet this time, Izuku was being choked by the strong embrace of Itsuka. Never mind the two soft things pressing on his back, he wanted to stay alive first. "I… give up…" He tapped her arms with his tail, unable to drop Monoma due to the blond's hold.

"Eh?" Realization washed over the two screaming students. "Ah! I'm sorry!" Kendo let go of him, allowing Izuku to gasp for air. "But you should've given us more time to prepare!"

"Yeah, we know how that feels." Kendo and Monoma turned their heads to see Mina and Mashirao with pity on their faces. They could relate to the two students from class 1B.

"Well, that makes everyone in the downpour zone." The quartet looked at Izuku.

With that said, they focused on the task at hand. "It seems we're still inside the USJ," Kendo spoke, taking the leadership of the situation. "The rest are probably scattered around the different zones. Any ideas of what should we do now?"

"Maybe fight the villains ourselves?" Ojiro suggested, he still wasn't sure about that option but with more people, it could be doable.

"We could also wait for the heroes to arrive; it shouldn't take long since we already send people for them." Monoma came with a logical suggestion to minimize the risks.

"I…" Mina spoke, bringing their attention to her. "I want to help the others; they could be having it worse than us." It was a first for her two classmates to see her being so serious. Her face was resolute.

Then the four turned to look at Midoriya. "You choose, Midoriya. Regardless of what you pick we will follow." Kendo finished, voicing what everyone else was thinking as they nodded to that.

Izuku looked at them a little surprise, but then a tranquil smile broke his visage. "Before all of that, first and foremost… How are all of you holding up?"

That question shook them, taking them by surprise. It broke their façade, they become grim and averted their gazes from him.

"I-I'm scared…" Ashido was the only one to speak. "I'm really scared, I don't know what going on, and I don't know what would've happened if you didn't show up when you did!" Her voice began to rise in volume as tears appeared in her eyes. "And I'm more scared that I don't know if my friends are safe or not out there!" It was clear by now that she was saying what the others were thinking. "What if someone doesn't make it—" She didn't finish as she was pulled into a hug along with the other three. Regardless, they clung to him, hiding their faces and tears from him.

"Prrrrrrrr~" He ease their worries with a purr. "As I said, everyone is strong and these are third-rate villains." He comforted them to the best of his abilities. "I'll make sure everyone is fine too. So, if you don't have faith in others then at least have it in me. After all, I'm here."

At that moment, Itsuka understood something. If she was considered the big sister of 1B then Izuku was the big brother of 1A, and probably just become one for 1B as well with her included.

"Now, I think Mina is right, we should help the others." He finally chose a course of action, though the hug hadn't been broken, he didn't mind either, he would indulge them as much as they wanted. "These guys came with the purpose to kill All Might. That means someone among them has to be at least as strong as him… Aizawa-sensei, Vlad-sensei, please be okay." He prayed for their safety.

The four finally separated from him. "Alright, what should we do?" Ojiro asked, he along with the others were more calm now.

"Can't we just leave this zone without being noticed?" Monoma, always with a logical answer, suggested. "I mean, they don't know where we are, correct?"

Izuku nodded. "But I would like to do something to prevent them from following us, it could create more problems if we let them be." The cat boy turned his focus to the blond in a tuxedo. "Which brings me to inquire something. Monoma-san, what is your Quirk? I already know Kendo's and the Quirks of all my classmates, but I haven't seen you use yours and your hero costume leaves me at a loss. It could be anything."

Neito began to laugh for some reason. "Hahahaha. You're right by saying it could be anything." The blonde smirk. "Its name is 'Copy'." Monoma noticed how Midoriya's eyes grew wide.

"I see…" Izuku went into contemplation about it. "Can he copy our Quirk?"

"Our Quirk is basically my soul," Neko answered. "So, no, unless I allow it."

Neito thought Midoriya was trying to discern his Quirk. "Sorry to disappoint you but my Quirk is not as impressive as you may be thinking, Midoriya. I have to come into physical contact with the other person so I can copy their Quirk. I can copy up to three Quirk at a time, however, I can't use them simultaneously, furthermore, I can only maintain them for up to five minutes. As I said, it's not impressive." The blonde finished with a sigh and a shrug.

"What are you talking about?" Izuku beamed at him while clasping the blonde's shoulders. "It's an amazing Quirk. Its usefulness is invaluable in any situation."

Monoma was left speechless for a few seconds as if something was washed all over his body. For some reason, he felt lighter, as his Quirk has always been considered a half-ass Quirk.

"Just imagine how many things you can do than others around you, can't do." Izuku continued praising him, none the wiser of the reaction he was causing to the blonde.

With each word that came from the cat boy a tint of pink spread through Neito's cheeks, until it was too much. "Okay! Okay! I got it!" He swatted both of Izuku's arms off his shoulders. "We should think about what to do now." He averted his face. Hearing that many praises at his Quirk embarrassed him for some reason.

…

…

Meanwhile at the entrance of the USJ.

A shiver ran down through every separated part of Setsuna's body. "Eh? A disturbance in the force? Is this the rising of a new rival I'm feeling?" She thought for a second. "AH! Whatever, just focused on taking this Kurogiri guy out."

…

…

"Hehe." Izuku giggled a little, finding Monoma's reaction funny. "Well, regarding what we're gonna do. I already have a plan."

"What? You have?" Was the incredulous answer of the other four.

"Yeah, but I have yet to confirm if it is plausible." With that said, Izuku began to walk to the window once more. "You should head for the first floor while I'm at it. I don't think any of you want me to carry you again, right?" At the mention of that, the other four shook their heads profusely. "Hehe," Izuku smirked, he was enjoying teasing them. "Thought so. Wait for me, I won't take long. If we can do it then I'll explain it to you then." With that said, he disappeared.

XOX

Meanwhile, in the other zones, the students were holding on how they could.

…

…

In the ruins zone.

"Hm… This is a little easier than what I imagine." Kirishima said as another villain fell unconscious from one of his hits. "I don't see the necessity to use One for All yet."

"Well, I guess we're too hard for them," Tetsutetsu answered not too far away.

*Boom!* "Who else wants to die!" Bakugo continued attacking villains with reckless abandon.

"He sure is giving it his all." The red head smirk. "Yosh! You're not leaving me behind Bakugo!" He then threw himself at other villains with a fierce smile.

"I'm not falling behind either!" Tetsutetsu did the same.

A few meters behind them a villain smirked, preparing to attack them by surprise, but before he could make a move, he was swallowed by the ground, leaving only the head protruding from the surface.

"Sorry, could you not do that?" The villain turned his head to look behind, finding someone in orange armor. Juzo then took a look at his fellow students. "*Sigh* Why am I the one who had to end up with these three idiots." He then walked after the other three, behind him were many other villains like the one he just subdued with only their heads sticking out from the ground.

…

…

In the landslide zone.

What once was a pile of dirt was now covered in ice. The villains were partially frozen and unable to move as their tremble because of the cold, the one responsible for this was Shoto Todoroki.

"A-a-are w-we even ne-needed here?" Kosei Tsuburaba, one of the students of class 1B, asked his classmate, the brunette boy was hugging himself trying and failing to keep his body heat.

"We d-don't have an o-option." Sen Kaibara answered, he was holding a little bit better than his friend by keeping his Quirk activated to generate a little bit of heat.

Todoroki ignored them. "Why are you here? What's your plan? And what did that man with the hands meant by All Might meeting his end here?" The bicolor teen interrogated the villains.

"Y-you thing w-we're gonna te-tell?" The villain smirked.

Shoto was going to increase the ice over their bodies to make them talk be he was beaten to it as Sen's index finger came relatively close to the villain's eye.

"I wonder what would happen if I poked your eyes with my Quirk activated?" He said as he began to spin his finger like a drill. The boy, surprisingly, didn't stutter when he spoke.

The sound of glass braking took their attention as they saw Kosei taking a sharp piece of his solid air. "I-I always wondered i-if these pieces co-could cut somebody." The underline of the inquiry and the malicious grin were enough to make it clear where he was going with this. "I should ma-make sure so-something like that don't happen in the fu-future, so let's t-test it out."

"We don't need this many; I'll freeze completely who doesn't cooperate." Shoto decided to follow their initiative.

The distress in the villains' faces was clear for the three students.

…

…

In the conflagration zone were Togaru Kamakiri, Manga Fukidashi, Kojiro Bondo, and Koji Koda holding the villains back, unfortunately, Koji was not very useful with the flames around them as he couldn't call for any animal to help.

…

…

In the mountain zone, Momo, Jiro, and Kaminari were holding pretty well thanks to the help of Yui, Kinoko, and Hiryu, unfortunately, Kaminari nor Kinoko could unleash their Quirks full potential because their classmates could get hurt.

…

…

Finally, in the flood zone.

Mineta had been just saved by Tsuyu and now was recovering some air in the boat, the only solid ground in this zone. A little heaven in this zone flooded by aquatic villains, there was probably a joke there somewhere but right now he didn't care.

Around him was not only Asui, but there were also Tokoyami and two students from the other class, Ibara and Awase.

"Shit, shit, shit." The midget cursed. "What do we do now? We're surrounded." He was panicking.

"Calm down, Mineta." His bird head classmate tried to reason with him but to no avail.

"You want me to calm down?! We're toast, Tokoyami!" The little teen grabbed his classmate's sides as tears formed in his eyes.

*Slap* Tsuyu slapped him with her tongue when she saw he was making nervous the other two students. "Stop panicking." She stated as if it was that simple.

"I can't stop—" "If you ever are in a dangerous situation, panicking does accomplish anything for you, in fact, it would make it worse." The purple boy stopped mid-sentence as his conversation with Midoriya from yesterday after training resurfaced in his mind. They were talking about what to do when they were put under pressure once they became pro heroes. Who would've thought he would need such advice so soon?

Meanwhile, the other four just looked at each other when the little teen froze in place.

"If you can panic then you can make a plan. You're smart, right… Mineta?" The memory continued for a little more. "Information. That should be your priority. It'll make it easier to come up with a plan. Who knows? Maybe your enemies are a bunch of idiots and you can bluff your way out." Even when Izuku wasn't around, he still was of help.

Mineta took one ball from his head and contemplated it for a second, he then threw it to the water where the villains were. "Touch that mine and you'll go boom! Hahahaha!" He laughed maniacally, then he observed the villains bellow, noticing how they got away from the harmless ball. With a smirk, he began to throw more balls.

"I didn't know they could do that." Tsuyu commented behind him.

"Shhhhhh!" The little boy hushed her. "They do not, but these dumbasses don't know what we can do!" He shouted-whispered. Seeing the villains made some distance from the boat allow him to let out a sigh of relief. "That bought us some time. What else can we do to get out of here?" He already did enough it was the turn for the others.

…

…

By the entrance, the remaining students tried to take down Kurogiri, but the villain was showing to be more slippery than they thought.

Thirteen used her Quirk to restrained him, yet a portal began to appear behind her with the power of Blackhole coming through it. However, before it could do something, the pro hero closed the finger of her suit, stopping her Quirk.

"Hehe, sorry but that won't happen." The space hero looked over her shoulder at the disappearing portal. "That would've got me if I didn't know what to expect," Kurogiri grunted in frustration as he evaded a floating kick from Setsuna. "It must be frustrating to have your Quirk figured out in one glance from Midoriya." The Pro continued her assault with her students, they'll eventually get him and even then, it was just a matter of time before reinforcement arrived. "I wonder how's it going for everyone?"

XOX

The cat boy got back to the base of the building where the others were waiting for him.

"Alright, I think we can proceed with the plan." He smiled.

"Well, what is it?" Monoma pressured him for the information.

"The closest building to the entrance of this zone. We'll bring it down to seal this place while we get out." Izuku explained with an eager expression on his face. Finally, his studies with Death Arms would come in handy.

"What?!" The other four exclaimed in disbelief. To them, he was asking for something impossible.

"Are you crazy?" Itsuka spoke. "How are we going to bring down a building?"

Izuku took a moment to look at Mina, this didn't go unnoticed by the others. "You can't make your acid stronger, right?"

"Uh…um~ yeah. I can control its solubility and viscosity." She confirmed what he said, though she still didn't get where he was going with it.

"I left claw marks on some walls and pillars; all you have to do is to destroy them with your acid." Izuku paused so they could catch up with what he said. "Of course, you won't be the only one, that's where Monoma's useful Quirk comes in." Neito's face cringed at the unnecessary praise, but a small amount of pink appeared on his cheeks. "You'll do it while Kendo protects you and, in the meantime, Ojiro-kun and I will distract the villains. The other reason Kendo will be with you two is that she'll give use de signal to retreat. I assume an applause with your Quirk would do enough noise." Kendo nodded at the inquiry. "Then applaud three times when you're done with your part and run for the exit."

Monoma raised a hand. "The building isn't going to collapse on us, right?" It was a reasonable concern.

"It won't… …Well, it should not. I'm the one who's going to give it the last hit to bring it down as I'm the only one who could make it out with my speed." Izuku informed, pausing for a couple of seconds as he pondered on something. "I'm not perfect, and you could be at risk. I understand if you don't want to follow my plan, you don't have to. I can always stay behind and handle the villains myself while all of you get out. It's your choice." He finished; his face completely serious.

The other four paused for a second, regarding Izuku with incredulity. Yet when he didn't back down or called it a joke, they understood he was convinced he could do it.

"We're not going to leave you behind!" Mina was the first, exclaiming with ferocity that he even suggested that.

"She's right. We're not leaving you." Kendo spoke, crossing her arms as a frown graced her face.

"Yes, we're getting out of here together." Ojiro finished as Monoma nodded at their statements.

"*Sigh* I'm not sacrificing myself, to be honest, I don't think any villain in the entire USJ posed a threat to me," Izuku spoke to ease their concerns, but there was arrogance mixed in there. "Their numbers don't change that either, the only thing I lose fighting them is time, time that I don't have when I could be out there helping the others."

Monoma's face twitched a little. "You're sounding a little arrogant there. Like if we'd be useless in a fight."

Izuku paused for a moment then slowly looked at his classmates for confirmation.

They avoided his gaze and as Ojiro scratched the back of his head he said. "Remember what Aizawa-sensei told you about overconfidence."

The cat boy looked down at his hands. "Felines are prideful by nature." Neko echoed one of her warnings from the day he got this Quirk. Izuku nodded. "I see, sorry… It's been getting stronger lately." That confused the others. What was getting stronger? however, he paid them no mind. "Anyway, we're wasting time. What's going to be? I'll follow any of the two options."

They wanted to say something but he was right, they were wasting time with idle talking. One by one they decided to follow Izuku's plan of trapping the villains inside the zone with a building.

XOX

As Kendo, Ashido, and Monoma went to do their job, it was Midoriya's and Ojiro's role to get the attention of the villains. And what better way to do it than to cause a ruckus fighting them.

"Hah!" Mashirao implemented his tail in his martial arts, making it hard for the villains to gain the edge on him, however, compared to Izuku, he needed multiple hits to knock a villain down when the cat boy took only one.

The blond gave a glance to his partner just to see how the green-head broke the jaw of a man with a well-placed punch. The villain hit the ground hard and stood there, not moving again.

Ojiro could allow himself to see his classmate as most of the villains were focused on the cat boy rather than him as Izuku was the bigger threat. "So, he was not joking when he said he could do this alone." The blond thought.

"Out of the way, weaklings. I'll handle this shithead." Said a villain whose skin appeared to be made out of stone. He approached Izuku with confidence as the other villains stop to watch. None of them were making any progress against the cat boy so maybe their partner with a hardening Quirk could do the job. "Ha, try to hit me and you'll break your hand."

Izuku just let out a sigh as his eyes showed the villain… pity. "Could you stay out of this?"

"Scared?" The hardening villain smirked as he took another step forward.

"Last warning. You don't want to do this." Izuku spoke clearly as he leaned forward.

"Ha! Quit your bullshit. You can do nothing to me. I'm stronger than you." As the villain gave another step, he soon fell to the ground face down. "What?" the man felt how his left leg was pulled up and a foot was placed on his back to keep him down. The villain soon found out he couldn't push himself up, so he looked over his shoulder. There he found the cat boy holding his leg and stomping his back. The fact he didn't saw the kid move sent chills down his spine.

"You're right, It'd be hard to damage you…" The other villains noticed he meant that it's not impossible. "On the outside, that is." The hardening villain tried to push up again be he didn't budge even a little. "And you're absolutely right about something. Anything comes down to strength." The cat boy took a better hold of the leg as he looked at the villain dead in the eyes. "So, tell me. Are you strong enough to stop me?"

The answer to that question was: NO.

*Crack* The scream of pain that the villain made, echoed through the zone as his leg was broken.

"See, this is the problem with your Quirk. Because I can't punch you, you're still conscious." Izuku's voice sounded cold. The teen moved and grabbed both of the villain's arms by the wrist and moved his foot in between both shoulder blades. "You're still a threat." The villain told him to wait, to forgive him. But Izuku just gave him a sadistic grin, and with a snap, both shoulders were dislocated and a new set of painful screams were heard.

Mashirao shuddered, he didn't know Midoriya could be this vicious. It's was like another person.

Izuku let go of the crying villain and looked around at the rest. "Any other with a hardening Quirk who wants to try their luck?" He smirked. All of this was just an act to scare the villains, of course. To dissuade them from attacking. However, a tiny little bit of him felt good, and that tiny little part was growing little by little.

Many villains looked nervous and reluctant to make a move, yet. "Hah!"

Izuku turned around as he grabbed both arms of a woman with absurdly long claws.

"Ah…" The woman's face contorted in one of fear when she noticed in what precarious position she was in. "You wouldn't hit a woman, right?" She smiled nervously.

"Sorry, but I'm a firm believer of gender equality. However, I'll avoid hitting the face out of courtesy." Izuku replied, tilting his head to the side and giving her a friendly smile. The contrast between the expression and the words confused the woman.

"What?—Ugh!" The next thing she saw was a knee on her stomach as she fell unconscious.

Izuku had his plate full with Toga already, thank you very much.

"So, anyone else wants to try it out again." He dared them to attack, but it seems that his intimidation worked as nobody made a move. A moment later, a new villain fell on the ground unconscious while Izuku had his fist extended, where the villain was a moment ago. They didn't even saw him move and they looked shocked for some reason. "Did you all think just because you won't attack, I wouldn't either?"

Izuku was about to punch another villain when he stopped and took a moment to look at the distance. He then crouched dodging a wide swing from a villain that he wasn't looking.

"Ojiro-kun, go now. I just heard the signal!" Izuku shouted to his classmate.

"But what about you?!" The blonde parried a punch of a villain to then swatted it with his tail.

"Don't worry, I'll buy you time with my weapons." Izuku smiled cheerfully.

"You have weapons?" Mashirao asked.

"He has weapons?" Some villains asked a little frighten.

"Yeah." Izuku jumped in the direction of his friend and landed behind two male villains that were rushing to Ojiro. The cat boy grabbed them both by a foot making them trip over, then he pulled them, holding them up by the leg. "Now let me show you the power of dual-wielding." The boy gave a ferocious grin.

Seeing where his friend was going made Ojiro skeptical. "Wait, you don't mean."

Hopelessly, the blond with the tail quirk watched as his friend dive back into the villains while swinging the two villains he was holding like flails. It was surreal. If Denki was here, he'd say something like: beat a motherfucker with another motherfucker. And Izuku was dual wilding it?

Ojiro decided to run away from that madness when Izuku replaced the now two unconscious villains with other two unfortunate souls. He almost felt bad for the villains, almost.

…

…

"Ah, you're finally here, Ojiro." Mina was the first to greet him. The trio was now next to the exit of the zone, far away from the building that was their target. "Eh? Wheres's Midori?"

"He—" Mashirao stopped for a moment, remembering what he left behind. "H-he'll be here shortly." There was no way he would tell them what he saw, they wouldn't believe him.

"Well, whatever," Monoma spoke, crossing his arms and looking at the building. "I would like to know how dose he knows how to bring a building down."

Kendo nodded. "Midoriya handed us everything on a silver plate. There were claw marks showing us the route we should follow and the pillars and walls we should destroy." The ginger stated. "Where did he got that knowledge?"

"He must be a terrorist." Mina joked to brighten the mood, making the others laugh. Only Ojiro laughed awkwardly, after what he saw, he wouldn't put it past the cat boy if it brought his enemies to despair. Midoriya was a scary dude, better not to get on his bad side.

As they laughed a little bit more, they saw the cat boy running in four legs and then entering the building… through a window on the second floor.

"Well, there he goes," Mina commented. They also saw in the distance how a few villains were running to them. "Uh-oh." She said as she noticed more and more villains appeared in the distance. Strangely enough, there were only males. The rest of the female villains wisely decided to not chase the guy who was slathering them, figuratively speaking.

It makes people wonder why men die earlier than women.

Inside the building, Izuku arrived at his destination. A lone pilar, without it the building would collapse. The young man couldn't help but compare the pilar with All Might and the building with society. "I'll become a pilar as well…" He said to no one in particular, it was more like an oath to himself.

The cat boy walked to the pillar and placed a hand over it. A smile spread on his face. "Thank you so much, Death Arms." He then clenched a fist and took a deep breath, then he punched.

He did it with the right amount of force to crack the pilar. The cracks began to expand little by little. It would collapse on itself and with it, the building. Izuku had done it in a way different from a normal architect who normally would make the building collapse on itself to avoid damaging the surrounding structures. Izuku's way would make it collapse to the side, specifically to seal the entrance of the zone to trap the villains in it.

So, after his job was done, he ran again in four legs, exiting through the window.

Now outside he just had to run to his friends. Unfortunately, there were some villains on his way, which meant they were in the way of the collapsing building behind him.

The majority of villains stopped when they saw the building beginning to collapse, and the ones on its way weren't different. They had frozen in place when they saw the immediate danger.

"Shit..." Izuku ran to those villains and when he got next to them, the cat boy hit them as hard as he could, not only knocking them down but throwing them out of danger as well.

He did it as fast as he could, and when it came to the last one, the building was right on top of them, so Izuku threw himself, tackling the villain and barely getting away from the disaster. The two of them rolled.

"Midoriya!" The quartet of students screamed and rushed to their friend.

The two stopped rolling and Izuku ended on top, but instead of listening to his friends, he looked worried at the villain. "Are you okay?!"

The man had his eyes lost in the ceiling for a few seconds, then responded to his savior. "Y-yeah… Thanks for saving me."

His friend arrived at his side but he didn't pay them attention. Izuku let out a sigh in relief. "I'm so glad." He smiled, then as he smiled, his right hand blurred and the villain was unconscious with a bruise on his cheek. Midoriya turned to his friends. "Is everyone alright?" They were looking at him with different shocked expressions after seeing how cold he was with the evildoer.

XOX

After collecting themselves and moving behind some bushes, the five students poked their heads to look at the situation in front of them, and they went still with what they saw.

The huge villain with the brain exposed was over Aizawa, holding his broken right arm. Not too far away was the body of Vlad, left to bleed. The students were glad they could see he was still breathing.

The question was: For how long?

Mina had already covered her mouth to stop the scream that was building up. Itsuka decided to avert her eyes and keep them shut. Neito had decided to cover his eyes with his hands. And Mashirao was hugging his tail.

Izuku, on the other hand, had his eyes wide open and his tail was restless, moving erratically. Unnoticed behind his glasses, the pupils of his eyes kept changing shapes from slits to circles and vice versa.

They were lucky they haven't been noticed by the villains.

"I'm going in…" That was what Izuku said.

Everyone saw him like he just grew a second head. "What?!" They shouted-whispered.

"Are you suicidal?! The teachers couldn't win, Idiot!" Monoma was the first to speak. The others agreed.

"We'll just put ourselves in danger." Kendo followed, trying to deter the cat boy.

"Yes, please listen to them." Ashido pleaded, clutching his sleeve. She didn't want to let go because Izuku right now was the only thing that made her feel remotely safe.

Ojiro had a grim face.

Midoriya, for the first time since they saw the scene before them, turned to look at them. "I never had the intention to put any of you in danger. The only one getting in there is me."

The others were going to refute but they were beaten to it. "I know you think you're strong, but this is absurd. What makes you think you can win when the teachers couldn't?" Ojiro stared at his tailed friend dead in the eyes.

"I won't let them die if that's what all of you are asking me to do." The harshness of Izuku's words halted them on their tracks. "Besides, I wouldn't start a fight I cannot win." Arrogance spoke through his mouth again. The greenette looked again at his teachers. "I won't ask you to fight, but it would be of great help if you retrieved the teachers when that villain comes for me. Use Kendo's Quirk to carry one while Monoma does the same by copying her Quirk, Ashido and Ojiro will protect them from any other minor villain." They tried to speak, but he didn't let them. "You can stay out of it too, I'll figure something out to keep the teachers safe." Before They could make a sound, Izuku was already gone.

He had given them the same thing again, two impossible options where he would always take the biggest risk. For the quartet, it was frustrating.

XOX

"You can erase Quirks, which is a respectable ability." Shigaraki talked with an arrogant tone, looking down at the maimed pro hero. "But there's nothing to it at the end when faced against overwhelming might, you may be Quirkless in that situation—" *BLAM*

Before the leader of the villains could finish, he saw a shadow behind him then he heard a thud. Looking over his shoulder, Shigaraki found Nomu's back as the monstrous villain had blocked a punch from that cat boy from before.

The cat boy looked surprised for a second as his punch had done nothing to Nomu. In fact, he was surprised the huge villain had reacted to protect Shigaraki from his attack.

The surprise didn't last long as Izuku backed away a few meters.

"Was that a sneak attack?" The villain asked, walking to Nomu's right side. "I don't think heroes do that."

Shigaraki wanted to get a reaction but Izuku was just staring at Nomu, then his eyes turned to Tomura.

Izuku Midoriya simply leaned a little forward and Nomu moved quickly to stand before Shigaraki, startling the villain.

When it came to the cat boy, Nomu had started to act strangely. Why would he shield Tomura at the slight movement from this brat? The white-haired villain didn't have time to answer as Nomu moved again, this time to stand behind him.

Shigaraki soon noticed that the cat boy had moved and now was a few meters away behind him. In the same directing where Vlad King and Eraser Head were.

Izuku took a few steps forward and Nomu took some backward, shoving Shigaraki with him and shocking him even more.

Why was Nomu behaving this way? He knew that his teacher had put an order in the modified villain, and that was 'to keep him *Tomura Shigaraki* safe from any danger'. Now, it was pretty obvious that the cat boy was aiming for him but to get such a response from Nomu… What did that mean? That this cat boy was dangerous? and that leaving him alone with the brat meant he would lose? Was he outclassed?

Another shove from Nomu came and soon the head of the group of villains understood the brat's objective. Yet another shove came again. This brat… *Shove* He was getting them away from the injured pro-heroes.

Izuku stopped when he was in between the villains and the pro-heroes.

"Midoriya…" Eraser Head spoke with a weak voice. "Get out of here… It's too dangerous."

Izuku smiled though he never took his eyes away from the villains. "Thank you for worrying, but I can't do that. If I run and leave you both to die, how could I become a hero?" The cat boy turned his head in the direction of the other four students that were still hiding and let down his briefcase next to the teachers.

As if his gaze was the trigger, the quartet sprang into action. With Kendo and Monoma expanding their hands and taking the two injured teachers while Mina and Mashirao stood guard. And then they ran away from the scene.

Shigaraki looked helplessly at what was happening, so he decided to stop them somehow. "Nomu, go kill—" However, Izuku was already by their side, throwing a punch directed at him.

Of course, Nomu had already moved to intercept it, receiving the impact in the abs. Yet, the attack didn't end there as Izuku then punch the throat, liver, and kick the right knee of the huge villain, then retreated to a safe distance to inspect his work.

Even after all those hits that were enough to bring any person down, Nomu stood as if he didn't even feel the impact of each hit. "That didn't do any damage? I made sure to apply enough strength." Izuku thought a little frustrated at how futile his effort looked.

Shigaraki walked out from behind his meat shield. "Hah~ This is frustrating." He said as he scratched his throat hysterically. "But I think I get it… You." He pointed at Izuku. "You're the hidden boss, right?" That confused the cat boy a little. "I guess this was to be expected, we were aiming to kill the final boss with this raid, of course, it wouldn't be so easy."

When Izuku understood, he got a little mad. "You think this is a game…" A growl escaped his throat. "Maybe I should really cut your hands so you can never play one again, and perhaps you'll learn to not play with human lives."

"Wuah~ scary, scary~," Shigaraki said sarcastically. "Does a hero should be talking of cutting people's hands?"

"As long as you're not dead and the innocents are safe, I'll consider it a victory." The response from the teen was immediate.

"Hahahaha! You know? I also like fighting games, so let's see how you and Nomu go at it. Ah but don't worry, he won't kill you. He'll restrain you so I can do the honors and make an example of what will happen to the Symbol of Peace!" Shigaraki stretched his hands out, talking loud enough to be heard by anyone.

The four students that carried the teachers had stopped not too far away to mount a defense against the other villains, keep an eye over Midoriya, and, if they could, to treat the injuries of their teachers with the first-aid kit that Midoriya left them.

"Midoriya… please forgive us." Aizawa thought as he watched his student. "Because we failed, now you're taking the burden… Hold on until the reinforcement arrived. Please don't die."

"So." Shigaraki continued. "How about we start the first round?" He asked with amusement in his voice. "Can you even survive the first round? Because it starts… now."

In an instant, Nomu appeared behind Izuku with his hands ready to grab him.

…

…

"How to bring any person down?" Death Arms looked at Izuku, who was panting for air on the clear sand of Dagobah beach. "Well, one of the most effective ways should be to aim here." The pro tapped his ears. "They keep the balance in a person so if you disturb it, then taking them down should be easy."

"You really *pant* know stuff…" Izuku commented.

"Well, when you're not the strongest, fastest, nor the most intelligent hero out there, you need to be resourceful." Death Arms smile at him. "Now get up, if you want to use it then you need to learn the proper technic."

…

…

Izuku grinned, and without looking back, he brought both hands up and clapped both sides of Nomu's head, stunning him for a moment. Even though Nomu didn't have any visible ears, the fact he listens to Shigaraki meant he had to have them.

Then a hand grabbed Nomu over his beak to then bring the villain over the cat boy's shoulders and threw him on the floor face up, and without skipping a beat, Izuku brought his right leg up to then bring it down on Nomu's stomach. The impact cracked the ground, digging the massive villain a few centimeters in.

The onlookers were surprised by how easily he dealt with the situation. The Quartet smiled, thinking that maybe Izuku was right and he could deal with all of this.

Midoriya looked at Shigaraki, unimpressed. "You're next."

Shigaraki was a little surprised, but then a wide grin appeared behind his hand mask, startling the cat boy.

Then like if nothing had happened, Nomu was already up attempting to grab the greenette again.

"Shit!" Izuku was able to move at the last second, scaping Nomu's grasp by the skin of his teeth, only losing the glasses that covered his eyes, revealing worried emerald eyes for anyone to see.

He made distance between them to collect himself.

"What?! Impossible, I know I knock him down." The teen thought, trying to figure out what he did wrong.

"Hahahaha!" Shigaraki's laughter was what he got. "It's useless. No matter what you do, you can't do anything to Nomu." He spoke in triumph. "He was created to kill All Might. And his Quirk, Shock Absorption, is perfect for that."

Everyone looked shocked, realizing that it was indeed impossible for Midoriya to do any damage. The students send a worried look at their friend.

Instead of falling into despair, Izuku let out a sigh and calmed down. "Thank god, villains these days have a big mouth."

After, a brief pause, Izuku made the first move this time.

By the time he was next to Nomu, Izuku had his claws already out. "I'm sorry." He apologized in his head for what he was about to do.

In the next second, the cat boy was behind Nomu as multiple cuts appeared over said villain's body. A few were aimed at the tendons of his limbs, making the villain fall on the ground like a puppet whose strings had been cut out with blood pouring out of the injuries.

The people around couldn't believe what they were seeing, it's surprise after surprise.

"Stay down," Izuku begged internally as he turned around to look at the huge villain.

To his shock, he watched as Nomu got up slowly, with his body trembling. Every cut he'd made was closing, leaving the villain in perfect health by the end of it.

"Hahaha!" Shigaraki laughed again. "I never said that was his only Quirk, did I? With Super Regeneration, all of this was pointless since the beginning. Hahahaha~ You should look at your face, you look like a complete idiot."

Izuku gritted his teeth. They got him. "Is there anything I can do?"

The teen looked around slowly, his gaze ended upon his four friends and the teachers. The look of helplessness they were giving him put a bitter taste on his mouth.

"What? You're trying to run now that you know you can't win?" Shigaraki mocked him.

Izuku let out a sigh. "No…" He said as he stood straight. Then he raised his right arm in the air with his index finger pointing up.

Everyone looked up but found nothing.

"10…" Izuku said, as everyone looked back at him, his expression was completely serious. "9… 8… 7…" He was counting down.

"Ha, this should be interesting, let's see what you got." Shigaraki decided to indulge him, after all, there wasn't anything the kid could do to win.

Izuku didn't pay him attention as the countdown continued. "4… 3… 2… …1."

Midoriya appeared in front of Nomu and threw a punch at his stomach. *Blam!*

"I told you it was useless—" The leader of the villains stopped mid-sentence as Nomu bend down, throwing up saliva and his face showed something for the first time… Pain.

Izuku then punched more time in the same spot, with such strength that Nomu's body was lifted from the ground a little. Then as Izuku backflipped, he kicked Nomu on the chin and threw him up in the air.

Yet Izuku didn't stop there as he crouched on his four limbs and jump to follow him. While in the air, he clawed the villain multiple times, ending by grabbing both ankles then spinning as fast as he could, throwing Nomu back to the ground, cracking the concrete.

But it was far from the end, as Izuku soon landed with all his weight and momentum on Nomu's stomach, the villain showing shock and pain from all the beating.

Izuku got off of him, then grabbed both legs and began to spin once more. "Raaaagh! Get out of my face!" He sent Nomu's body flying far away from there.

Izuku stood there, looking in the direction he sent the villain as he panted a little.

Everyone had their mouth hanging. Even Shigaraki was shocked, which soon turned into rage.

"Cheater! You fucking cheater! Hax! I called hax!" The villain yelled.

"You still think this is a game?" Izuku frowned. The cat boy considered himself a reasonable guy but people like Shigaraki had a talent to bring out the worse of him. "Fine, I'll take those hands." He extended his claws.

Shigaraki didn't look in the least threatened. "Okay, I guess I'll give it to you. You're the winner of the first round."

That made Izuku's ears twitch. "First round? This is over." At that moment a shadow coming from his back loomed over him. "Impossible!"

Nomu closed his arms around him. After a moment, the huge villain looked over his shoulder towards Izuku who was a few meters away. He'd lost his haori which was now in the villain's grasp.

"Wow ~ *Clap* *Clap* *Clap* That's the second time you escaped, you're pretty slippery." Shigaraki had to give credit where it was due, it was the more reason to kill the kid now and avoid more problems later on. "It doesn't matter, you'll die today. I promise you that."

"You have to be kidding me. He isn't down." Izuku couldn't believe it. That was his best move. "If he wasn't so determined to 'make an example' of me by capturing me first, I would be in pretty bad shape right now."

"Nomu don't let him use that move from before and keep the pressure." Tomura ordered his minion.

The huge villain moved on the offensive.

The two engage in close quarters, yet Izuku couldn't do much other than dodge. He hit and clawed but it didn't accomplish anything. You would think that for something so big it wouldn't move so fast, but here he was, keeping the pace, leaving little for anything else than to dodge any attempt to grab him.

"Midori…" Mina, along with the others, were concerned for their friend.

Shigaraki turned to them. "I guess in the meantime I'll finish what we started." He began to walk towards the four students. Frightening them.

Mina and Mashirao stood on guard to protect the others however they could.

As Tomura took another step, something hit him hard on the left side of his lower back. "Agh! What?!" He turned around but saw nothing until he noticed a pebble on the ground. He looked around then focused on Izuku who was still engaging Nomu in combat. However, for a brief moment, his emerald eyes turned to him. Izuku was still keeping watch on him. Midoriya somehow managed to throw that pebble at him, making his message clear. He was not letting him do whatever he wanted. "Tch. So annoying. Nomu, try harder!"

Somehow, the huge villain became more unrelenting, increasing the pace. "Shit." Izuku was already struggling. Now, if he loses focus, he'll be done for.

Shigaraki turned to the students. "Now, let's see if you got something to offer." He crept closer and close. The students got ready to confront him, until…

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" A scream echoed in the USJ, bring the attention of anyone who heard it.

Kirishima turned around in the direction of the scream with a shocked face. "That voice… it's from…"

"MIDORIYA!" The four students yelled.

Nomu had caught his left arm in one of his hands, and with his strength he crushed it, breaking it like a twig.

Izuku had his teeth gritted, but the pain in his face was clear for everyone looking.

"Hahaha, finally." Shigaraki grinned.

Izuku punched and clawed trying to get free, but to no avail.

"Good job, Nomu. Now hold him right there. I want to have some fun with him." Forgotten were the other students as Shigaraki walked to the little kitten.

"Am I gonna die?" Izuku thought. He was cornered."No… I can't, mom would be sad and alone. The others are counting on me. After me, they're next… I have to prevent it at any cost. " He gritted his teeth in determination, he knew what he had to do, though that didn't mean he like it, so … he opened his mouth.

Shigaraki paused for a moment as he saw the cat boy bite Nomu's forearm. "Haha, seriously, now you're going to bite him, you really are just a brat." He made fun of the kid. Then he paused again with what he saw.

Izuku's jaw clenched, digging into the flesh to then tear a chunk of the forearm to then throw it away as blood spilled out.

"Useless, his Super Regeneration—" Shegaraki commented but.

Izuku dug in again, tearing more flesh. He did it again and again, fighting the Super Regeneration off. More blood continued to shed, covering Izuku more and more.

"I… I… I'm losing it…" His thoughts became dizzy. "I… can't…" He felt the iron of the crimson liquid running down his throat. Tears began to flow from his eyes for some reason. "Ne…ko… please… don't let me… kill—"

Its jaws came to a stop as everyone looked in horror. Its teeth had bitten something hard. "Grrrrrrrrr…" A low growl was heard, then his jaws shut and the bone snapped with a sickening crunch.

It got free and jump backward, landing over its feet. Its arms and head left hanging which cast a shadow over its face.

Something fell on its feet with a thud. A severed arm, Nomu's severed arm. Droplets of blood fell along with a transparent liquid, too viscous to be tears.

An indescribable feeling came over everyone present. Even from the entrance of the USJ, people could feel that something wasn't right.

Some people looked at themselves, surprised and confused for they did not know the reason they were trembling.

A voice began to whisper in their head, each time becoming louder and louder. "run… Run… Run!... RUN!" But they didn't listen, What thing they should run from?

Then the voice stopped. Many looked at each other just to confirm that everyone was experiencing the same. Then the voice came again, this time with something different. "Too late… Don't move… Don't bring attention."

Mina didn't know what was happening. So, she looked at her classmate with concern. His back was facing her and he wasn't moving. she opened her mouth to call him. "Midori—"

"▂▂▃▃▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅▅!" A roar, that didn't belong to any living creature anyone knew about, erupted from the body of Izuku Midoriya, forcing everyone inside the USJ to cover their ears and fall on their knees.

In the mountain zone, the villain, who had a derpy Kaminari captured, was forced to let him go.

Kyoka Jiro was the most affected as she covered her ears as hard as she could. Momo noticed how blood began to come out of the rocker's ears.

Many villains in the flood zone were knocked out as sound traveled differently in the water.

Glass began to break in other zones like the downpour one.

At the entrance, everyone was experiencing the same. Even Kurogiri had stopped moving. Thirteen's helmet cracked a little. But that was not the bigger shock for the pro. "Y-you have to be kidding me. The USJ… is trembling."

Finally, after what felt like an eternity, the roar died down.

Everyone looked at Midoriya as it stomped the ground cracking it, and a growl left its mouth as saliva dripped from it, displaying its teeth and claws while being covered in blood, its left arm was still broken. Yet all of that went unnoticed as they saw threatening primal golden amber eyes staring at Nomu, who stood his ground.

The third round was about to begin as the hidden boss had entered its second phase.

The roar had managed to bring Kaminari back to his senses. He looked in the distance in the direction of the center of the USJ. "Hold up. Why do I hear boss music?"

A/N: It's done… The first part, that is. I wonder, is this considered a cliffhanger? If it is, are you mad? Are you salty? Let me know. Also, should I raise the rate of the fic, because what's coming it's not gonna be pretty.

I write this while listening to: "Iron Saga – Sea of fire ft. Mizuki." Which is composed by one of my favorite artists. Hiroyuki Sawano. Not important but it gave me the push I needed to finish the chapter.

On another note, if you want the boss music… "Berserk 2016 – My brother." Or "Doom Eternal – The only thing they fear is you." Pick your poison.

Many things will be explained in the next chapter, you can also speculate if you want.

Welp.

Read you later.
