We woke up in time to go to our remedial training and got back to the dorms. We walked out with Todoroki and the spiky bastard who yelled at Todoroki for walking in front of him. Instead of seeing Mr. Aizawa waiting for us at our transportation, we see All Might in a very stressed out suit with buttons that look like they would pop if he flexed next to that insufferable Present Mic. I groan seeing that loudmouth and Aya-chan asks All Might while pretending to be ignorant, “You look like you are feeling better, All Might. Did Recovery Girl heal you or something?” All Might chuckles, “Funny you mention that I was treated by a mysterious stranger who disappeared after healing me. I am thankful to that stranger, though, because now I can go back to helping people.” He says, clenching his fist with that main character energy of his.
We get to the venue where we are having remedial classes and walk down the hallway in silence, our costume cases in hand. Some tall dude with an intense face waved at us, “Heeeeeey! It’s UA!” This other girl approaches, too, and she says, “Wow, who is that two-toned hottie? I am so psyched to be training with a babe like you.” I start tuning them out because they are annoying. We were guided to a sports center arena where we are conducting some special training today. The way they are talking about it makes me apprehensive.
The flaming bastard yelled at Todoroki to basically trample over us to prove he is better than us, and I smack my teeth as does Todoroki and the intense dude. The tone quickly shifts when the other trainees see All Might standing tall next to him. I see Endeavor cross his arms and give All Might an attitude in the audience chairs they are sitting at. The other students all start feeling special that the old number one and the current number one heroes are watching their training.
I sigh as they introduce the girl who was flirting with Todoroki earlier, who apparently was the one whom Vampy disguised herself as. I take it that she can turn into anyone as long as she drinks their blood. Knowing how quirks generally work, it probably has a time limit, which means she probably can’t turn into me anymore.
This girl is saying a bunch of shit that I don’t understand, but Aya-chan can apparently speak this girl’s language. I don’t know whether or not it is her ring or just her being amazing. This feels like an Aya-chan thing, not a ring thing. Gang Orca interrupts their incoherent conversation and pretends to be a hard ass, “You must feel so much shame to be standing before me.” I hold back a chuckle because he knows we had a good reason for missing the test. He continues as he paces in front of us, “Given how easy the test was and that weakling Shishido playing the villain.” He yells at us, “There is nothing heroic about any of you! You are all nothing but fish turds!” We responded, “Sir, yes, sir!” He yells back, “I can’t hear you!” We repeat ourselves louder.
He yells at Bakugo, who talks back, and Gang Orca throws him like he weighs nothing. He does the same to Todoroki and the intense dude from Shiketsu High. He tells them off for their behavior during the exam since apparently it was recorded and then he says, “Today, we are putting you through a special trial. It is time for you to train the muscle that beats in your chest! If you hold out a hand to someone in trouble, you need them to grab it! They won’t grab your hands as you are now because you don’t know how to build trust!” The door opens, and Gang Orca continues, “You need a special connection with those you are trying to rescue. You must remember that as you train today.”
The next thing I know is that a bunch of unruly children is storming the arena, and my heart drops to the pit of my stomach. How in the fuck am I supposed to build trust with these brats?! The teacher has no control over these children, and they are running wild. Gang Orca said we need to build trust, but I haven’t the slightest clue how to achieve that. Some kids are punching my legs, and I feel rage building up inside me. Sir Floof comes out, and the kids start pulling on his ribbons to see if they are really attached. I yell at them, “What is wrong with you brats?! If you don’t want to die, stop hurting my best friend! Sir Floof, return!” Sir Floof whimpers as he returns to his pokéball and the children run away from me.
I pop a jawbreaker in, and while no children are touching me, I hop to the ceiling to get away from the children and stand upside-down a while to cool my head. I tell Sir Floof as I try to bottle the rage these children are making me feel, “I am sorry you had to go through something like that, buddy.” Aya-chan joins me after quirk walking up and says, “You know that you won’t make any progress in getting your license if you hide up here.” I cross my arms, “Well, I figured being up here would be better than beating those children to a pulp for pulling Sir Floof’s ribbons.” Aya-chan holds my hand and says, “They won’t know what they did was wrong, unless you tell them specifically what they did.”
I sigh and grumble and teleport us back into the chaos down below. I yell at those kids, “Hey, you brats! You shouldn’t go around hurting dogs! How would you like it if I pulled your hair repeatedly?!” The kids start crying, “The mean lady is going to pull our hair!” My forehead veins are popping as I seethe with rage. The boys seem to love Aya-chan and that annoying girl, while the girls hate them. A girl tried to pinch Aya-chan, and I teleported by her side and grabbed her tiny wrist, “If you treasure your hand, you won’t harm my lover.” The kid says with an attitude, “She is trying to seduce the boys in our class!” I smack my teeth, “Tsk. You brat. It isn’t her fault that everyone is drawn to her.”
Some kids stole the spiky bastard’s gauntlets and were running around while he was yelling at them, “Those aren’t toys, you brats!” Aya-chan nudges me, and I sigh, “Ugggh, fine. I’ll help that bastard.” The kids yell teasingly, “She said ‘bastard’!” Gang Orca facepalms at me as I teleport to the brats running with Bakugo’s gauntlets and grab them and hand them to Aya-chan so she can make them tattoos to keep them away from the children.
That loudmouth, Present Mic, is now MCing this flaming shit show of a training class, which pisses me off even more. Bakugo starts analyzing the situation and says that since the teacher was unable to lead the class successfully, a kid was leading them instead. Todoroki asks, “What do we do after we identify the child in charge?” Bakugo says intensely, “We beat them up and make the kids throw rocks at them!” For once, I agree with that spiky bastard, and I nod in agreement as Aya-chan bops both of us on the head.
Bakugo challenges the children, gets told off by a kid, and I let out a “Pft.” The intense guy tries to relate to them and asks them who wants to be a hero, and lots of the kids are like, “Me! I do!” That quickly turns around when the kids make us sound like bad students for giving the teachers more work in these remedial classes, and the intense dude prostrates himself in apology. Todoroki then tries to win them over by letting them know that his name isn’t Five Weenies (because of his first aid kits hanging from his belt) and gives them a short backstory about why he wants to be a hero, but that doesn't work either.
After all this time failing, the annoying ditz suggests we show them how cool our quirks are. The kids misunderstand this and think that we mean to fight. This seems to be a bad situation. Are we supposed to beat these kids into submission, or just let them get more conceited about their abilities? Uggggh. Whatever. All I know is that they better not lay a single finger on my beloved. They unleash a barrage of attacks on us with their insane quirks, and we use a combination of Haki and our quirks to defend ourselves. These little shits aren’t holding back either, but it isn’t anything we can’t handle. We have a group huddle and decide to force the kids to have fun using our quirks.
That intense dude makes the problem children hover in the air to immobilize their attacks, while the ditz makes an illusion of an aurora and a starry night’s sky. Todoroki used debris from the children’s barrage of attacks and us to reinforce his ice to make an elaborate ice slide. The intense dude takes the brats he subdued in the air, gently places them on the slide, and when they reach the bottom, I teleport them back to the top while Aya-chan draws lots of flowers and makes flower crowns for all the students to wear. They almost immediately stopped being aggressive and started having fun.
We played with the children for a while, and afterward, Gang Orca accidentally dropped his ‘tough guy’ mask, and he was giving us praise as the kids left… Until he remembered, and he yelled at us not to fail again. After that, we changed back into our school uniforms and carried our uniform cases to our ride while that intense dude was trying to be buddy-buddy with Todoroki. That ditz said that the spiky bastard would be better if he just shut up, and I let out a “Pft!” She is annoying, but she is starting to grow on me a little… Bakugo yells at both of us as we continue walking, and Aya-chan laughs.
All Might pulls us aside once we are outside, and he says softly to avoid others hearing with watery eyes while placing his hands on our shoulders, “I want to extend my thanks to you both. I heard from Nighteye that it was because of the Armament Haki that Young Togata taught him that he was able to prevent too much damage to his internal organs during the raid. If he hadn’t used Armament, he would have died. He won’t be able to do hero work anymore and will have to retire from his injury, but at least he still lives.” He sheds a few tears and smiles a warm smile as he continues, “We could have been having his funeral today, but that isn’t the case because of what you brought into this world.” Aya-chan says while winking with her eyes glistening with tears not yet fallen, “I don’t know what you are talking about, All Might. Principal Nezu is the one who discovered quirk energy.” He chuckles and says, “I suppose you are right.”
He pats our heads, and some of the Shiketsu High students approach us, and the purple-haired one who was spectating with Present Mic asks, “Why are you two all buddy-buddy with All Might?!” I snap back while jamming my hands in my pockets with an attitude, “We aren’t buddy-buddy, dumb ass! He is a teacher at our school!” All Might spots the girl Vampy targeted and approaches her and the Shiketsu High Faculty to discuss future cooperation to prevent something like this from happening again.
Those of our class who were in work studies were put on hold after the incident. So, class 1-A was full again when we got back to class. We changed into our hero costumes and trained our ultimates. We were told to find a second ultimate if we only have one or refine the ultimates we already have. Since I obviously can’t have sex in here with Aya-chan in a class environment, I work on combining my Aerial Ace with both Haki and chakra for a precise and powerful Meteor Hop. Since it is hard to miss with this one, I don’t try to chase the nerd down again and just use Kirishima so he can work on his hardening as I hit him. A few of us are using Kirishima as a punching bag so we all can get better together, including that spiky bastard.
Aya-chan is having a stealth battle with Toru and Shoji in a free-for-all way, and occasionally steals my jawbreaker so she can freely go into 5D without me. She is the only one who can see past Toru’s camouflage. I think it is a mixture of her Observation Haki and her heightened octopus’s senses. I think I read online how octopuses can see through others’ camouflage. I try not to get too distracted so I can be productive as well. I can’t get left behind or anything.
{Shigaraki’s POV}
In the afternoon news cycle, All Might was at a press conference in his usual muscular form. The reporters ask questions about his recovery, and he feeds them an annoyingly vague answer. Then she asked another question that I am sure those ants outside wanted to know after seeing him, “Are you going to return to being number one?” All Might shakes his head, “I will still do some hero work here and there, but nothing as I used to, since I am a fraction of the hero I once was. I spent decades in the spotlight, and this is a time for other heroes to shine since I am an old man after all. My strength will now be devoted to protecting the next generation of heroes at UA.” He waved them off, preventing them from asking questions, and he jumped away from the reporters with his awesome power.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!
ALL MIGHT SHOULD BE OUT OF THE PICTURE!
Who could have such a mysterious power that could revive that damned muscle head?! That little girl who slipped through our fingers, maybe? I was able to put 2 and 2 together that Overhaul was using her for those special quirk-erasing bullets, but if that were the case, shouldn’t All Might be quirkless? I don’t know the specifics of her quirk, but I do know that she can’t control it. So, the likelihood that she was this ‘mysterious stranger’ is unlikely. If not her, then who? I keep racking my brain around it and can’t seem to find an answer. If Recovery Girl were able to heal him, he would have been healed years ago. So, it can’t be her either.
In my rage, I accidentally destroyed the remote in my hand. Himiko says with a little attitude, “I am not going to get another one this time, Shigaraki. You know how hard it was not to cut anybody when I was in the electronics store last time? There were so many tasty-looking people there, too.” Her attitude turns poutier near the end as she depressively, yet lustfully licks her lips. Compress chimes in, “If we want our presence to stay hidden, we need to limit how much we go out.” Compress gets up and continues, “I will go get one this time, but in the future, Shigaraki, let me handle the remote so you don’t accidentally destroy yet another one.” I wave him off with one hand as I hold my father’s dead hand on my face with the other, “Yeah, yeah.”
Dabi sighs while rubbing his hair with his scarred hand, “So, what’s the plan now that All Might is back?” What is the plan now? All Might being another piece on the shogi board changes things. His mere presence does wonders for heroes' morale, and now that the Symbol of Peace has returned, the momentum we built to shake people’s faith in heroes will be for naught. GRRRRRRRRR! ALL MIGHT! I swear I am going to kill you!
Wait!
I start laughing and say, “Yes! The plan will be the same as before. We will take a step backwards and kill All Might.” Iguchi says, “I didn’t sign up to kill the one hero Stain respected. I will have to sit this one out, Shigaraki.” Twice asks, “How do you expect to kill All Might when he just heals when he almost dies? Let’s just rush in and kill him before he heals.” I think of that insolent, scarred-up, pink-haired brat that Master liked for some reason, but it gives me an idea, “We will just go after his heart. We will use those children as bait and lay a trap that not even the mighty All Might can overcome.” Dabi sighs exasperatedly this time, “Not to rain on your parade, Shigaraki, but they moved into dorms on campus. How do you expect to target them now?” I look at Himiko and say, “The same as last time. Though we may need to get a little creative.”
The more we target the children, the less faith they will have in heroes. So, it is a win-win. We just need to be smart about it if I am going to achieve my goals. I will bring the end of the age of heroes and bring this world into the age of chaos. We all need to get stronger, then I will destroy their false peace with my own two hands.
{Sekai’s POV}
Back at the dorms after we ate dinner, Aya-chan took me to the balcony for a make-out session so we could enjoy the moon and the stars before doing our ritual to go back to our apartment. I love kissing her so much. She giggles, looking at my face, and she puts her hand under my shirt and starts to slide it up to grab my breasts as we make out and we hear talking outside which interrupts our make out session. I sigh exasperatedly, and Aya-chan giggles softly as we silently eavesdrop on the voices.
Uraraka is talking to the nerd alone, and I hear her stammering, “D-d-deku, I was wanting to talk with you.” He asks, “Sure, what about Uraraka?” She stammers, “W-w-well, I was w-w-wondering if maybe you w-would want to go out on a date sometime.” We look down and see that Uraraka accidentally activated her quirk, and the nerd reached out to her to keep her from floating away. She releases her quirk, and the nerd says, while blushing, obviously flustered, “I really like you, Uraraka, but I don’t think that is a good idea.”
Uraraka looks crushed, and Aya-chan smacks her head silently as we look at this trainwreck. Uraraka runs away, and Aya-chan says, “I’ll go talk with her. Why don’t you talk with Midoriya? I know enough of their dynamic that I know that he also likes her, so it is probably about his secret.” I sigh and nod while popping a jawbreaker and teleporting to the nerd who is plopping down depressed on the tree outside our dorm window.
He jolts in surprise at my sudden appearance, and he asks, “What do you want, Sekai? I am not really in the mood to talk.” I smack my teeth, “Tsk. Me either, nerd.” I lean up against the tree and ask him, “Did you reject her because of your secret?” He looks embarrassed that I heard that, and he covers his blushing face for a moment and replies, “Yeah. I don’t want her to get hurt by All for One as a way to get to me.” I sigh, “She obviously cares for you, doofus. If you talked things out with her, you might be able to arrange for a private dating thing or whatever. He can’t target her if he doesn’t know about her.”
The nerd sighs and says, “Maybe you are right, but I don’t know. I still can’t help but worry.” I bop him on the head, “Aya-chan is currently a target of All for One and has a hit on her, but she wouldn’t have it any other way because she can help protect me in the process. So, instead of thinking of you protecting Uraraka, why don’t you acknowledge the fact that she is an amazing hero who can help you succeed? Nobody said that you had to fight alone, you know. Since he is so powerful, you will probably need help anyway.”
He looks like he is taking my words to heart, but is still thinking, so I sigh and decide to help put it in perspective for him, “Listen, nerd, I haven’t told many people this story because this shit was terrifying, but remember when we were lost when I awakened my quirk?” He nods, “Y-yeah.” I continue, “Well, we got lost in a Japan that was similar to ours, but they didn’t have any quirks or abilities. Even though we went to worlds that had villains who could destroy entire planets with their quirks, that quirkless Japan was the most frightening.”
He looks slightly confused, “Why are you telling me this, Sekai?” I smack my teeth, “Tsk. I am getting there, nerd.” I go from leaning on the tree to sliding down and sitting down at a 90-degree angle from him, so I can’t see his face. “In that version of Japan, even though they were powerless, they abducted Aya-chan and me using very precise teamwork. It was in that world that we learned of your quirk and All for One.” He asks, “How were you able to learn of my quirk there?”
I start to feel very anxious telling him this, and Sir Floof comes out and places his ribbons on me as I sigh in relief, accepting his comfort and continue, “While we were restrained, they interrogated and tortured us, and there was a voice on the other side of the glass who told me of a story called My Hero Academia they had in that world. In that story, you are apparently the main character and Aya-chan, and I don’t exist in Class 1-A. They told me about your quirk and All for One and tried to coerce me to talk by saying they knew who would die and when Nomu attacks would occur.”
The nerd gasps, “Did they say anything more about who would die?” I shake my head even though he can’t see it from how we are sitting, “No, to be honest, I didn’t want to know. That version of Japan was a nightmare.” Sir Floof whines as I shiver, but his ribbons are so warm and I embrace it. I sigh and finish by saying, “If those quirkless monsters can subdue two quirk users like Aya-chan and me, then we can use teamwork to beat that bastard.”
I stand up and offer my hand to the nerd, who takes it, and he smiles warmly at me and says, “Thanks for the advice, Sekai.” I smack my teeth, “Tsk. Now, stop talking to me and go talk to Uraraka.” He responds in his usual awkward way, “R-r-right.” With that, he runs inside the dorms on a mission, and I sigh while teleporting back to our balcony.
