Chapter 2
The road to being a hero
Ben is walking down the hall towards his classroom, or, well, he's actually running to his classroom. Today is going to be so much better then yesterday, which is why he woke up one hour early. Today, they will have a lecture in real heroics! He turns the corner, and spots the abnormally large door, before he slides to a stop infront of it, before he kicks the door open. Everyone turns to look at him, all caught off guard by Ben's loud entry. Ben is standing in the doorway, staring back at everyone in the classroom.
"Sorry?" Ben hears a growl, and sees Bakugo eyeing him. "Hi Boom-dude! How are you? Pissed of as always?" He laughs, as Bakugo's eyebrows furrow. "Tough crowd." Ben says, as he straightens his tie. He walks over to his designated seat. It is placed by the window, a seat behind Bakugo. Behind him, sits the black-haired girl from the exam. Ben sits back and puts his feet on the desk, and begins fiddling with the watch strapped to his arm.
After about a second, he immediately grows bored of it. He plants his head on his desk, and closes his eyes. Only now that he's relaxed, he's realizing how tired he is from waking up so soon, and running through U.A. like a mad-man. He drifts off to sleep.
"WAKE UP!" It's the only warning Ben gets, before he is karate chopped in the back of the head, and is forced back into consciousness. He looks up, and sees Iida's disapproving frown. "Ben, it's important to go to bed early. If you don't get enough energy, you can't pay attention in class. I understand that exhaustion is difficult to deal with, but you need to sleep properly at home if you wish to be a proper hero!"
Ben rubs his eyes before answering. "S-sorry dude."
"It's fine, as long as it doesn't happen again. It's important to take your education seriously. And I apologize for hitting you." Iida bows.
"It's cool! I get it!" Iida nods, before returning to his seat. 'Ok... school time...'
The school day went on pretty slowly, starting with basic classes, like English, where Mic was the teacher, but he was oddly calm. No shouting, no grinning. Completely neutral... until everyone started grwoing bored, at which point he attempted to get everyone's spirits up with some loud words of encouragement. While everyone was suspecting Ben to excel at this subject, it was actually the black-haired girl, Yaoyorozu to be the quickest to answer Mic's questions.
Next was Math, with the pro hero Ectoplasm, who's quirk had a mutation effect, leaving him lip-less, giving his face a skeleton-vibe. The lecture was pretty boring. Nothing special.
Then there was modern literature, which was a little more interesting then math. The teacher was the pro hero Cementoss, who's quirk made him look like a humanoid cement block.
And then, finally, a proper break... lunch!
Ben is survaying the large lunch room. 'This place is huge!' Ben looks around for somewhere to sit, until he sees some of his classmates at a large table, three of them. One of which he was more familiar with. "Hey guys, can I sit here?" Ben asks the trio: Midoriya, Uraraka and Iida.
They all nod, and Ben sits down, next to Izuku. "So, what are you guys talking about."
"We were just thinking about our hero training. It's one of the main reasons we are all going to U.A. after all." Iida says, Midoriya and Uraraka nodding.
"Yeah, I've been thinking about it all day. I woke up so early today that I fell asleep when I got here... sorry about that, by the way..."
"It's fine. I'm sorry about hitting you, but it's in the past now. There's no reason to dwell in the past." Iida says as he stuffs a piece chicken in his mouth.
"Yeah... you're right." Ben says. 'And here I thought he was too serious for his own good, but he seems pretty chill.'
Ben picks up his chopsticks, plunges it into the food before him, and puts it in his mouth- "HOLY- This is amazing!" He starts stuffing his mouth with food. "Almost as good as Chilly Fries~" Ben is so distracted by the food, he doesn't notice Iida's attempt at scolding him for his lackluster table manners.
The classroom is deadly quiet. Everyone is holding their breath. Soon, the one subject that is the core reason they went to this school will begin. The only sound besides their breath, are the heavy steps making their way to the classroom.
"I AM HERE!" The door is opened with great foce, and through walks a tall, muscular man, his yellow hair is styled into two large tufts standing upwards, resembling bunny-ears. A large, bright smile is covering his face, capable of bringing hope to anyone who needs it. "WALKING THOUGH THE DOOR, LIKE A NORMAL PERSON!" Marching into the classroom is the #1 hero himself: "All Might!" He is a living legend, who's quirk makes him powerful enough to create tornados, and change the weather with a singe punch. He is even stronger then Four Arms, who is pretty strong.
Everyone is instantly ecstatic. He's wearing an older version of his costume. The torso is red, with white lines spreading across his body, in the center forming a circle. He has a yellow belt, with a silver belt buckle. He has yellow wrist-pieces and boots.
All Might stands tall in the front, fists on hips. "HELLO, DEAR STUDENTS! I'M SURE MOST OF YOU ALREDY KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING TODAY! BUT FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT, WE ARE NOW GOING TO BEGIN YOUR HERO TRAINING!" Everyone is grinning ear to ear in excitement. Even Bakugo's smile seems genuine. "WHAT WILL YOUR FIRST LECTURE OF HEROICS BE TEACHING YOU?!" He pulls out a card, with the word "BATTLE" written on it, and presents it for the class. "COMBAT TRAINING!" He shouts.
Ben grins, almost as madly as Bakugo, unlike Midoriya, who's already starting to sweat. "BUT, BEFORE YOU CAN START TRAINING TO BE A HERO, WE NEED TO MAKE SURE YOU ALL LOOK THE PART!" Suddenly, the wall, closest to the windows, shift and open up, to reveal shelves full of suitcases, each one with a number etched into it. "THESE WERE ALL DESIGNED WITH YOUR QUIRKS, AND REQUESTS, IN MIND! MAKE SURE TO WEAR THEM WITH PRIDE! GET THESE ON, AND MEET ME AT GROUND BETA!"
Ben is looking through the equipment in the suitcase. Once he has deemed everything in order, he began to cloth himself in the case's contents. He looks up at the other guys in the lockers. All of them looked awesome. Even Bakugo's costume is great, with grenade-like gauntlets. Iida seemed to be wearing white armor, which seemed to be designed as a medieval knight, but with some details that made it look robotic. Midoriya's costume seemed to be a green jumpsuit, with a hood, and pair of familiar looking bunny-ears on said hood. He's also wearing a pair of white gloves, and thick black knee pads.
Ben looks at his own costume for a few seconds, before he closes the briefcase, and puts it in his locker, before making his way to Ground Beta.
A very skinny, skeleton-like man, is standing in a fake city, not too different from the city used for the entrance exam. He is wearing the same costume as All Might wore earlier. His yellow hair is messy, with two large tufts of hair is dangling from his head, covering parts of his face. Suddenly, he hears people coming his way, the sound of steps being taken is echoing through the tunnel before him. Suddenly he grows in size, becoming the muscular man known as All Might.
He sees the outline of his students coming towards him, when he speaks. "THEY SAY THAT CLOTHES MAKE THE MAN, YOUNG MEN AND LADIES..." His students exit the darkness of the tunnel, revealing themselves in the light, and showing of their new selves for the hero to see. "JUST REMEMBER, THAT AS OF TODAY... YOU ARE HEROES!"
Ben smiles as All Might finishes his speech. Ben is wearing a black T-shirt, with a white line going down the middle, the collar being colored the same white. Over it, he wears a green leather jacket, with a white line going down the left side of his chest, reaching the bottom of the jacket, and his right sleeve has two white lines going around it. He wears military brown cargo pants, with gray knee pads, with three, bolt-like protitions sticking out of them. He wears a pair of brown gloves, with metal covering his knuckles. His shoes are black, with white soles, and finally, he wears a black belt, the belt buckle having the number 10 ingraved into it, with a spherical disk hanging from it's right side.
Ben hears someone running, and turns around. In the distance, he sees someone running through the tunnel. 'Wonder who the slowpoke is...' He narrows his eyes, and realizes said slowpoke is actually Midoriya, now wearing a transparent respirator, with a toothy grin drawn onto it. "Wow. And here I thought my costume was too green. Looks good though!"
"Thanks..." He rubs the back of hi head, as Uraraka walks over to the two.
"You're costumes look great." Ben and Midoriya looks at her, and Midoriya starts blushing. She is wearing a pink and black full-bodysuit. She's also wearing light-pink circular wrist guards, with darker pink handles on the back of them. She's also wearing a light-pink belt, with a shiny circle in place of a belt buckle. She's wearing knee-length boots, with pink soles, and she's also wearing a helmet, with a tinted visor. "I should have been more specific when I sent my costume requests. They made my suit skin-tight." She is rubbing the back of her neck as she speaks, slightly embarrassed.
"Still looks good." Ben gives her a thumbs up. Midoriya however, has a hard time getting any words out of his mouth, as his red face starts seeming with... steam? Good lord.
"ALRIGHT EVERYONE! SETTLE DOWN!"
"Excuse me sir!" Iida's voice echoes through his mask. "Since we are in a city similar to the one from the exam, are we going to battle in an urban setting, once more?"
"NOPE! WE WILL NOW MOVE YOU ALL A STEP AHEAD OF THAT!" All Might shouts. "I'M SURE YOU ALL HAVE SEEN VILLAIN ATTACKS TAKE PLACE OUTSIDE, BUT STATISTICALLY THE MOST BATTLES TAKE PLACE INDOORS! BREAK-INS, DRUG-DEALS, SECRET LAYERS. THE WORST TYPES OF VILLAINS STAY INDOORS TO AVOID THE HANDS OF JUSTICE! TODAY, EVERYONE WILL BE SEPERATED INTO TEAMS OF TWOS, ONE TEAM, ACTING LIKE HEROES, WILL TAKE ON ANOTHER TEAM, WHO WILL TAKE ON THE ROLES OF VILLAINS!"
"Isn't this a bit advanced?" A girl with a fairly bland expression asks.
"THE BEST WAY TOO LEARN IS THROUGH EXPERIENCE, REAL OR NOT, IT WORKS! AND REMEMBER! LAST TIME YOU FOUGHT MACHINES, BUT NOW YOU'LL BE FIGHTING PEOPLE, SO DON'T OVERDO IT!"
Suddenly, a bunch of queations are thrown his way! Yaoyorozu is wondering how the winning team is decided, Bakugo wants to know how much damage he can do to a student, Ochaco is worried if they'll be threatened with expulsion again, Iida is wondering how teams will be decided, and a guy with a very shiny costume is asking about All Might's opinion on his cape.
"LET ME... FINISH TALKING... PLEASE..." All Might chokes out, sweating from the barrage of questions. He reaches for a small book- IS HE READING OFF A SCRIPT?! He clears his throat. "THE VILLAIN TEAM WILL SET UP A BASE IN THEIR DESIGNATED BUILDING! THEIR JOB IS TOO PROTECT THE BOMB THEY PLANTED, PLACED IN A LOCATION OF THEIR OWN CHOOSING! THEY WIN IF THE HEROES FAIL TO STOP THEM WITHIN 15 MINUTES, OR IF THEY CAPTURE SAID HEROES, AND THE HEROES WIN IF THEY CAPTURE THE VILLAINS, OR RECOVER THE EXPLOSIVE!"
'Seems simple enough.' Ben thinks to himself.
"TIME IS LIMITED, AND WE'LL DECIDE TEAMS BY DRAWING LOTS!"
"Isn't there a better way?" Iida asks, worried that it's not the smartest decision.
"Well actually, it makes sence. Since heroes are usually forced to team up with people on the spot, it would only make sence that your teammate would be decided based on chance!" Midoriya points out.
'You're incredibly smart, and yet so unbelievably humble...' Ben thinks to himself.
"I see. Life really is just a random series of events. Excuse my rudeness." Iida bows.
"NO PROBLEM! NOW THEN! LET'S BEGIN!" He yells, while raising his fist to the air.
A. Midoriya & Uraraka
B. Kirishima & Ojiro
C. Aoyama & Sero
D. Bakugo & Ben
E. Iida & Koda
F. Hagakure & Jiro
G. Yaoyorozu & Asui
H. Ashido & Kaminari
I. Todoroki & Sato
J. Shoji & Tokoyami
"Are you kidding me?!" Bakugo shouts, filled with pure fury. "Why would I be paired with that damn freak?!"
"I'm actually with the nuke on this one... I'm not the biggest fan of this guy." Ben looks at him. "You better not ruin this for me!"
"Screw off you damn shapeshifter!" They're now glaring at each other, freaking out all of their classmates. Even All Might is intimidated.
Midoriya, who was at first very flustered for being paired with Uraraka, is now worried for the two boys, and anyone that would be paired against them.
"A-ANYWAY... LET'S SEE WHO WILL GO UP AGAINST WHO!" All Might says, before drawing lots once more.
Round 1 - I vs D
Round 2 - B vs G
Round 3 - A vs F
Round 4 - C vs E
Round 5 - H vs J
"SO, FOR ROUND ONE, TODOROKI AND SATO WILL BE THE HEROES, WHILE BEN AND BAKUGO WILL BE THE VILLAINS! HEROES, VILLAINS, YOU HAVE 5 MINUTES TO GET READY. THE REST OF US WILL FOLLOW ME TO THE MONITORING ROOM!"
'Looks like me and Bakugo are going against Todoroki...' Ben looks at the ice-quirked boy. His costume is composed of a white shirt, pants, and boots, and peach straps going over his shoulders. But the most unique part of his costume, was the ice-themed armor, covering the entirety of the left side of his body, his eye glowing a bright red. 'What the hell happened to you?'
Ben and Bakugo are standing in a room, with a false explosive. Ben is standing before the bomb, his hand resting on it's smooth and chilly surface. Ben and Bakugo are going be the villains, while Todoroki and Sato, the big-lipped boy, would be the heroes.
"Don't try to get in my way, freak!" Bakugo growls. "I'm so going to fry that ice guy!"
"What about the other guy?" Ben asks.
"He's yours, as long as you stay out of my way you damn extra." Bakugo says, as he fists his palm, and smoke emerges from his hands.
"How generous." Ben says sarcastically. "Snow's yours."
"Huh?"
"I'm too lazy to go out and hunt. But, if you loose track of him, he's fair game." Ben mutters. Bakugo stars at him suspiciously. "Look. You and I aren't so different... okay, actually, we're very different. But, we both want to be heroes... and all things considered, you have potential."
"I don't need you to tell me that!" Bakugo shouts irritated.
"I'm not going to stop you from taking on our neighbor Todoro, but if you loose track of him, he's mine, and you'll need to take care of the other dude... Deal?"
Bakugo stares at his teammate in silence, considering his words... after a couple seconds, his face is swallowed up by a psychotic smile. "Deal!"
"MATCH 2... BEGIN!"
Todoroki walks into the building, just as the match begins. Sato follows close behind him, before Todoroki signals him to stay outside. As Sato steps away, Todoroki puts his hand to the wall, as his hand begins to cool, and the wall begins to freeze. The ice spreads along the wall, reaching further and further into the building, not stopping his quirk until he's sure that Ben and Bakugo are restrained. 'I know for a fact thay won't be going down that easily, but I still have to win this. I can't let that snooping american stand in my way.' "You stay here while I locate the explosive." Todoroki says to his teammate, not even bothering to look at him.
"Uh... o-ok..." Sato says, starstruck at his teammate's power, yet worried that his teammates overconfidence would be their downfall.
Todoroki continues through the buiding, walking up the first set of stairs, when he hears a crackling sound, when around the corner, a grinning Bakugo jumps out, sending an explosive right hook his way. Todoroki barely has time to dodge, so he attacks instead, launching a wave of cool air at the blond, a thin layer of ice beginning to cover Bakugo's skin, forcing him to slow down. Bakugo begins releasing heat from his palms, warming up his body, and melting the frost. "That all you got?!" Bakugo shouts, lining his arm up for a proper blast.
"No." A gust of cold wind shoots from Todoroki's right leg, and icicles shoots out from the ground, and nearly stabs Bakugo, who blasts himself out of the way. "Where is your teammate?" Todoroki asks, with a bored tone.
"That freak?! I told the bastard to screw off! You're mine!" Bakugo launches himself at Todoroki, who creates a wall of ice to separate himself from his attacker.
'Then that means he must be protecting the bomb.' The ice-wall explodes into pieces, and before Todoroki can move out of the way, a new explosion engulfs the room, and this time, the blast connects with it's target, who is pushed backwards. As Todoroki is about to hit a wall, he creates a trail of ice from his foot, and stops himself just in time to avoid a mild concussion. Bakugo doesn't give Todoroki a chance to rest, as he immediately tries to hit him with another explosion, which is avoided with another ice-wall. 'I need to find Tennyson, before the time runs out.' The wall is destroyed once more, and Todoroki creates a wall of icicles to create some distance.
"Don't even try bastard!" Bakugo screams, blasting through the icicles, sending ice and water in all directions. Bakugo runs at his classmate, boosting his speed using a barrage of explosions. Todoroki lines the floor with ice, making Bakugo fall of balance. He narrowly avoids a painful face-plant by blasting himself into the air. Todoroki then forms a platform of ice under him, and lifts himself into the air with it. As it is lifting him, he jumps, and a wall of icicles flies down on to Bakugo, who boosts out of the way with another explosion.
Bakugo lands where the ground is free of ice, and looks up to see Todoroki glide away, forming a line of ice under hid feet. Bakugo follows close behind, flying through the air using his blasts. "Get back here!" Todoroki picks up speed, and forms a huge, and icredibly thick, wall of ice. Bakugo tries to blast it away, but too his surprise, it stays up. He blasts it again, and again, and again. With the exception of a few cracks in the wall, it's practically unaffected by his blasts.
He jumps back, and inspects his grenade gauntlets. He points his hand at the wall, and grabs the pin sticking out of the thing. He pulls it out, and air begins to gush out of the gauntlet. Then heat, then sweat, and finally, fire begins to shoot from the gauntlet. A large explosion, cutting through the hall, melting the ground and the walls. The icy wall melts away in an instant, exploading into a sea of boiling water, filling the hallway. Thanks to Bakugo's quirk, he is resistent to heat, and the worst he'll end up with is a few mild burns.
"These gauntlets are awesome!" Bakugo is so absorbed in euphoria and adrenaline, he has completely forgotten about Todoroki, who is now long gone...
"That was so cool!" The thunder-boy says.
"Imagine what a brawl between Ben and Todoroki could result in!" Ojiro thinks to himself.
"Pure destruction, mostly because of Tennyson's many forms..." The crow-headed boy says. "Imagine what other powers he may be hiding."
Everyone is looking at the screen showing off Ben, who is still in his human form, standing with his arms crossed, unmoving.
Todoroki is dashing through the building, hoping to locate the explosive before Bakugo finds him. But, what will he do when he finds it. Ben has to be guarding it, and if he finds him, then how is he supposed to secure it when someone as powerful as Ténnyson is the one in the way.
Slowly but surely, he gets more and more annoyed, as his thinks back at his first encounter with Ben. 'That damn fool... I can't believe I let him get on my nerves.' Todoroki, after about a minute of running, he encounters a closed door, at the end of a long hallway. He dashed to the door, and pushes it open, and just as he does, a flash of green light blinds him, followed by a faint, yellowish light, and the crackling of fire.
In the center of the room is a humanoid being, his body laced with stone and magma, his hands and legs being the exceptions, glowing a bright yellow. His face is remenicent of a skull, his rocky features lacking cheeks, and his eyes are empty, yet glowing. But the feature that catches most of Todoroki's attention, is his head, which is covered in flames.
"Say hi to Heatblast!" The flaming man says, with a raspy, yet calm, voice.
"Hi." Todoroki says, as the fire-man is swallowed up by ice. Todoroki begins inspecting his surroundings. 'Wait... where's the bomb?'
"Looking for something?" Todoroki looks back at the mini glacier, and instead of seeing a mini-glacier, he spots a massive fire twister. Todoroki is absorbed by the flames and is thrown into his glacier by the twister. He gets back on his feet, weakily, and looks at Ben, or Heatblast, who is now welding the door shut, melting the hinges and sealing the cracks. "What? Am I too fast for ya'?" Heatblast asks, a devilish grin forming across his face. He blasts Todoroki with a wave of heat, but Todoroki creates a wall of ice, keeping the flames away.
Heatblast
He can generate flames from his entire body, said flames becoming stronger, the stronger his emotions do. He can also absorb flames into his body, having complete heat-immunity!
Heatblast forms a ball of flame in his hand. "Come on out! It's not like you're going anywhere!" He says as he points at the door, which is now beginning to cool from the chilly air coming from Todoroki. "Catch!" He lobs the flaming sphere at the ice, creating a hole in the baracade, but it gets sealed up by Todoroki. "You can't keep this up!" His hands begin to glow brightly, as flames are launched at Todoroki's blockade. The Ice is immediately comsumed by the flames, and it begins to melt rapidly.
'Damn it. I need to get out of here!' Todoroki face is getting moist and shiny from the sweat running down his face.
"Listen dude. If you just give up, I'll go easy on ya'." Todoroki remains quiet, trying to keep his ice-wall up. "Are you still mad about yesterday? What's so wrong with your pops. I heard he is one of the most successful heroes in Japan! What's so bad about him!" Todoroki is gritting his teeth, struggling to keep quiet. Heatblast's flames are getting hotter, and Todoroki is growing weaker. 'Ugh, maybe Heatblast was the wrong choice. This is taking forever!' Heatblast starts moving closer, adding more and more power to his flames as he does. "You can't win like this! You CAN'T win with a power like this! Just. Give. Up."
"I'LL NEVER LET THAT OLD MAN WIN!" The glacier explodes into a wall of large icicles, shooting towards heatblast, stabbing him in the chest, left arm, and right leg. He flies into the wall, getting pinned by the wall of ice.
"Owch!" Said ice begins to melt, and Heatblast falls to the ground. "Ugh..." His body begins to emit large flames burning away the remaining ice. He forces himself on to his weak legs, and limps towards Todoroki, who's body is laced with frost. "You don't look to... good... maybe you should... give up..." Heatblast is looking down at the jittering Todoroki, who is preparing for another attack. "Stop!" He tackles Todoroki weakly, before bashing the boy's head into the ground. He falls onto his back next to the kid, while gasping for air. "Did... did I win?!" He looks over to the boy next to him, who is lying on the ground next to him. He's knocked out.
"SATO HAS BEEN CAPTURED, AND TODOROKI IS KNOCKED OUT! THE VILLAINS WIN!" All Might's mighty voice blasts out of the speakers.
"Guess Bakugo took care of your teammate..." Ben murmurs to his icy buddy. He lifts his hand, and slams the symbol embedded in his chest. A bright green light fills the room, and resting on the floor is the human we all know and love. The points he was stabbed in are now stained with blood. "Owch... you really want crazy there. Guess your dad really is that bad." He coughs. Ben looks up at a camera in the corner of the room, and waves. "Can you get the nurse please?!"
Ben opens his eyes slowly. His vision is blurred. He blinks a couple of times, as he regains his vision. "Ugh... where am I?"
"Ah, you're finally awake. About time." Ben looks up to see the nurse from the entrance exam.
"Ugh... I'm not used to take that much of a beating." It's true. Todoroki was really tough. The pain in Ben's body was gone, but now he was just tired... really tired. "Why am i so... weak?"
"My quirk can heal people's wounds in an instance, but at the cost of their stamina. You were already weak after the battle, so my quirk really drained you like crazy."
"Makes sence." Ben sits up, and looks around. It's empty... 'Where's Mr. Freeze. He looked pretty banged up too.' "Where's the other guy?
"Hmm? Oh, you mean the ice boy? He was not really that hurt, besides a mild concussion." Ben blinked a couple times at the small lady before him.
"Can I... go?"
"Your wounds have all healed. There is no need for you to stay here unless you want to rest."
"I'll be fine." Ben says as he wipes his eyes. He sits up and slides off the bed. He looks down at his costume. It seems to be intact, but it's stained in his blood... ew. 'I'll need to change...'
Ben is walking to the classroom, having changed into his school uniform, and left his costume for cleaning. His feet hitting the floor echoes through the quiet halls. It''s very calm... too calm... He turns a corner and spots the classroom. He slows down by the door, and opens it.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY, FREAK!" Welp, I guess the sound of nothing is gone, too make place for this shouting pest. Bakugo is glaring at Ben, as he's walking towards the exit to the classroom, and Ben knew exactly what the problem was.
"Hey man, not my problem you lost track of the cold wonder." Ben lifts his arms as if trying to calm down the feral student.
"JUST MOVE!" Ben moves out of his classmate's way, and let's him leave.
'Guess dynamite's in a bad mood. Wonder how the prince of cold is doing.' Ben turns to Todoroki, and sees him glaring daggers. 'Hmm, he doesn't look too happy either... Hmm... I feel very watched...' Ben takes a look around the classroom and realizes the whole class is staring at him. "Uhh... Hi?"
"You were awesome back there!" The yellow-haired dude said."
"Well, uh-"
"That fight was mesmerizing. The pure determination that was radiating off of you and your enemy was truly a help in motivating the rest of us to do our best. Truly a spectacular display" The crow-headed boy said stoically.
"Thanks, I gue-"
"How many other powers do you have?! Can you shoot acid?" A pink girl asks.
"Uhmm-"
"Do you have sound-powers?" The purple-haired girl asks.
"Not r-"
"Lightning powers?!" The yellow-haired boy asks.
"Uh-"
"EVERYONE!" Everyone quietes down as a loud voice catches their attention. It's the blue-haired guy, Iida. "Please, give Ben some space. I know you all must have questions, I know I do, but you don't need to come at him from all directions."
"Thanks man!" Ben looks at his blue-haired classmate with thankful eyes. "Alright. Listen. I see why everyone is curious, but I can promise ya'll that by the end of this school-year, I will have shown off all of my forms and powers... most likely... So don't worry about it!" Ben speaks as he wanders over to his desk, and begins to collact his things.
"So... how are you feeling?" The brocoli-headed boy asks.
"Oh, I'm doing quite well. I don't usually feel to well after raising heatblast's fire-power... how did your round go?"
"It went fairly well. I didn't really need to use my quirk during it."
"Really? That's ballsy!"
"It was quite the spectacle!" Iida adds.
"He was jumping all over the place, dodging stuff, left and right!" Uraraka says, proud of her classmate.
"Okay, THAT I gotta see!" Ben says.
"Heh... eh..." Midaoriya is, once again, overwhelmed over the attention. The... fourle? Squad? Gang? Whatever, they exit the classroom together.
"So, Uraraka, Iida, how did it go for you?" Ben asks his two classmates.
"Well, Uraraka's quirk was quite helpful during her match." Iida says. "It helped her move in close easily, and was capable of making Jiro weightless, which made her quirk quite inconventient to use."
"And Iida zoomed around the room they were hiding in, and kept running around while carrying the bomb." Uraraka says.
"Well, good job you guys!" Ben says.
"Hello students!" The group turn to see... an astronaut walking towards them? It looks like an astronaut atleast, with white eyes on the black visor. A bulky, puffy suit covered the person waddling towards them. Midoriya lights up, and seems to get ready to say something, but-
"It's Thirteen!" Uraraka shouts. Everyone turns to her. "They're the space hero, who specializes in saving people from disasters!"
'Huh. Who would have guesses the gravity-related kid would be a fan of the space hero...' Ben thinks to himself.
"Thank you for the introduction. Now I won't have to worry about it myself." Thirteen says, chuckling lightly, as they turn their attention to Ben. "You are Mr. Tennyson, correct?"
"Uh... yeah?" Ben answers, confused.
"I wish to speak to you. In private." They say, with their tone remaining unshifting.
"Sure. See you guys tomorrow, I guess." Ben waves his classmates goodbye, and begins to wander towards the hero.
"Bye." The others answer.
Ben and Thirteen begin to walk, with the hero taking the lead. 'This outta be interesting.' Ben thinks.
Epilogue
The dark city streets fill with the toots and humming of cars. The lights of the many stors and restaurant, make the night brighter then the day. Somewhere, hidden away from the public eye, is a lightly illuminated bar, hidden away from the ruckus of the outside world. Sitting by a table, is a skinny man, with greyish, blue hair. The man is reading the news, while sipping out of a glass, full of a shiny, alcoholic liquid. Suddenly, he finds something of interest. His red eyes fill with surprise, then joy... terrible, foreboding, joy.
"Hey Kurogiri!" The man calls out to the man... or thing... running the bar. It's body is composed of a purplish mist, most of his body being tucked away under black clothing, and a large neck-brace.
"What is it, Shigaraki?" The thing asks.
"Contact master. He'll love this." The thing stares at the man by the table for a few seconds, until...
"Of cource." The thing presses a button, and a large monitor turns on. A few seconds go by, and then a purple text illuminates the screen, saying: "Sound only".
"Ah, my dearest protegy... I hope this is important." A dark and menacing voice comes from the monitor.
"Master... guess who just decided to work at U.A." The man says, while holding up the paper for the monitor.
"Oh... how interesting." The voice says, joy filling his horrific face.
