--Monday, August 31, 2172
Under Bakugo's skeptical gaze, the beautiful and energetic blue-haired beauty suddenly vanished and, almost simultaneously, he saw all the girls of the class along with several of the boys—including Kirishima and Deku—leap backward with solemn expressions. With a look of confusion, Bakugo turned to look at his classmates, but halfway through the motion, a small fist wreathed in energy materialized before his eyes.
Before he could even rationalize what was happening, Bakugo was struck in the face, and before his brain could even register the pain, he slammed full-force into an enormous boulder at a terrifying speed, shattering it to pieces. At the same time, students like Tokoyami, Iida, and Koda—who had never trained with the class representative—stared in the direction of the blast with disbelief written across their faces.
"Dark Shad—"
The first to snap out of his stupor was Tokoyami, who quickly tried to summon his shadow specter, but before he could even finish speaking, a small fist materialized before his eyes. As Tokoyami's eyes widened in pure incredulity at how the fist slipped into a precise gap between him and Dark Shadow, the fist reached him and sent him flying like a cannonball.
"Recipro Burst!!"
Realizing what was going on, Iida, with a solemn expression, fired the engines in his legs at full power and shot off at a terrifying speed while looking around to try to discover where the danger was. But because of this, he didn't realize in time that at the same instant that both feet left the ground, Aoyama's body shot towards him like a bullet.
With a solemn expression, Iida tried to stretch one of his feet out to touch the ground and change direction, but to his despair, when only a few millimeters remained before touching down, the body reached him. As Aoyama and Iida went flying off to crash violently in the distance, a rapid series of loud sounds of metal clashing against metal rang out.
Visibly surprised, Aizawa turned to look at the place where the shrill sound had come from, and thanks to his great dynamic vision, he could barely make out something of what was happening. In front of Ochako Uraraka and Kyoka Jiro, who were preparing to use their quirks, stood Eijiro Kirishima with gritted teeth, fully hardened, and with several spots broken from terrifying impacts.
Behind them stood Mashirao Ojiro covering the rear with a solemn expression. Simultaneously, Tsuyu Asui, Hanta Sero, and Mina Ashido fired their tongue/tape/acid in different directions, forming a perimeter. Lastly, Todoroki Shoto, Izuku Midoriya, and Momo Yaoyorozu positioned themselves in an outer triangle with solemn expressions, as if facing a life-or-death situation.
"Kai-chan, they didn't get sloppy! They formed the defensive perimeter pretty fast."
At that moment, Nejire appeared outside the defensive perimeter the young ones had formed, and announced it with a beautiful smile on her face. Seeing that only his training group was left standing, Kai nodded, quite satisfied, before commenting in a calm tone.
"Yeah, they didn't improve, but at least they didn't get weaker. Now you can kick their butts for a while."
"Got it!!" Nejire raised a hand into the air and chirped in a cheerful voice, an action that made her look incredibly adorable.
But the faces of the students could only grow more and more serious as they watched spiraling waves begin to surround the limbs and torso of the smiling Nejire, as if they were some kind of armor. With a solemn expression, Todoroki sent a blast of fire at Nejire, but before it could reach her, the blue-haired beauty vanished.
With gritted teeth, Todoroki leapt backward while hastily creating a wall of ice. But as if it were made of glass, the wall shattered to pieces, and soon a leg wreathed in a spiraling wave of energy practically materialized just millimeters from his face.
At that very instant, Midoriya moved at a terrifying speed and unleashed a descending kick at the blue-haired beauty who was about to reach Todoroki. But to his surprise, Nejire turned to look at him with a cheerful smile and, with incredibly fluid movements, grabbed his leg and deflected it while spinning herself around in the air.
Before he could even understand what was happening, Midoriya felt as if a truck had slammed straight into his ribs, sending him flying like a cannonball. Immediately after, Nejire landed on the ground and shot off toward Todoroki, and after passing through the flames he was trying to use to protect himself, she dealt him a brutal blow that sent him flying like the others.
But as if she had been read completely, at that very instant, acid came shooting out to strike exactly the spot where she would be in the next moment. With a cheerful smile, Nejire spun in the air to dodge the acid by mere millimeters, but at that exact moment, a sound wave destroyed the ground beneath her, and the debris flew upward like an inverted rain.
Casting a quick glance, Nejire decided on a route to dodge, but before she could do so, large amounts of tape stuck to the debris to hurl it at her. At the same time, Nejire could see out of the corner of her vision Kaminari hastily throwing balls, most likely created by Momo.
Letting out a little laugh, Nejire propelled herself with her waves, and then, using various rocks as platforms, escaped the encirclement just before it closed completely. As a brutal electrical explosion went off from within the debris, Nejire shot off toward the backs of Kyoka, Uraraka and Tsuyu, where she performed a low sweep with one extended leg.
As the girls fell to the ground, Nejire used her hands to push herself off to the side, dodging the combined blow of Midoriya and Momo from above, which created a large explosion when it struck the ground. Taking advantage of the small tremor, Nejire slipped between the debris to dispatch Uraraka and Kyoka with her energy waves, while she knocked Tsuyu unconscious with a kick.
At that instant, Momo and Midoriya once again caught up and launched a rapid series of blows from opposite sides. Displaying first-rate mastery of martial arts, Nejire deflected the young ones' brutal attacks while firing energy waves that managed to strike Mezo Shoji, Toru Hagakure, and Denki Kaminari squarely, sending them flying.
Seeing his classmates fall, Midoriya gritted his teeth and prepared to unleash a devastating blow at 20%, but that instant of distraction earned him a brutal hit to the stomach. The impact of Nejire's colossal force combined with a point-blank synchronized explosion of her energy waves was more than enough to send Midoriya flying, completely out of the fight.
Simultaneously, Nejire slashed with her left hand over her head, which caused an energy wave to send Ojiro flying—he had been spinning toward her and was about to strike full-on with his tail. Taking advantage of the lapse from Momo, who had turned to look at Midoriya, Nejire sent her shooting off toward Mina Ashido and Hanta Sero. After dodging their tape and acid with minimal movements, she took them out of the fight.
At that instant, Nejire propelled herself toward Eijiro Kirishima. With her fists wreathed in energy waves that moved at a terrifying speed, she used her energy waves to fly at great speed all around him while unleashing hundreds of blows per second. But after just a few seconds, Nejire had to jump backward to dodge a burst of explosive ammunition fired by Momo.
"Momo, whoever wins gets to decide the spot for the next outing!"
With a cheerful smile, Nejire said this as she looked at Momo, who was holding an enormous rotary-cannon machine gun. Momo let out a small sigh as she looked at her completely defeated classmates on the ground and lowered her machine gun, then said in a calm voice.
"Let's do it at home later."
"Cheapskate."
Nejire said this with a pout but quickly turned to look at Kai. In the other corner, Kai was dodging the tentacles extending from Tamaki Amajiki's fingers with movements so fluid and calm that he seemed to simply be walking toward him while the tentacles deliberately avoided him.
For his part, Aizawa looked at his students on the ground before turning to look, with a solemn expression, at Kai, who was toying with the third-year student like a cat with a mouse.
Although he had obviously noticed how incredibly strong his students had become after they began training with Kai, only now did he realize just how much they had truly improved. After all, their improvement went beyond a simple boost in stamina or technique: their quirks, tactics, battle awareness, and—most importantly—their teamwork and cooperation were off the charts.
In that little demonstration, he had not only been able to see why Nejire and Mirio were so widely recognized and admired. To the point that it was often said the number-one and number-two spots would be contested between them in the future. He had been able to see firsthand that his first-year students already surpassed most professional heroes. Kai, in less than a year, had turned complete novices into highly combat-capable heroes.
In the end, although they had been defeated, he himself didn't have much confidence in facing someone like Nejire either. With her speed and energy waves, that girl of barely eighteen was a terrifying monster, and defeating her would be no easy task, even with his eyes.
Therefore, what mattered was how they moved, how they fought, and above all, how they managed to minimize to the absolute minimum the damage from Nejire's blows—one of the hardest techniques to master.
(What a terrifying talent for training… Iron Palm, though you were good, your son is a damned monster… I have to talk to the principal about this; this talent is too valuable for U.A.)
As he watched Kai finally defeat Tamaki Amajiki, who looked about to fall into an existential depression, Aizawa reached a conclusion with a solemn expression. In his eyes, one could see admiration and, in the deepest part, a sliver of undeniable pride. At that moment, Kai looked at the group still on the ground and ordered in a calm voice.
"Todoroki, freeze anyone who doesn't get up in the next three seconds."
At Kai's words, the whole training group rose to their feet, while the others—somewhat confused, dizzy, and aching—looked at their classmates and at Kai with solemn expressions. Anyone who wasn't a fool could see it: they had fallen behind, far behind, and the only way to keep that from continuing was to seek the help of that terrifying Demon King.
"Alright, now it's Mirio's turn. Fight a bit. I'm going to keep training here with Tamaki Amajiki."
As the third-year youth let himself drop to the ground in despair, Mirio stepped forward with an enormous smile. But as he prepared to fight, Bakugo stayed staring at the blue-eyed bastard with a conflicted expression, as if he were wrestling against his very own essence to make a difficult decision.

…
After saying goodbye to Melissa, who left in her car that pulled up by itself in front of her, Kai and Momo took the car home, while Nejire flew off toward Ryukyu's agency. After a while, Kai and Momo arrived home, and after a quick kiss, Kai headed toward a spacious garage set off to the side, where one could see an impressive runway-style platform that was half finished.
Quickly, Kai changed into a work coverall and grabbed his tools to get to work. With firm, calm movements, Kai began to cut, polish, and carve various pieces while invisible holographic screens flickered in his eyes, revealing a great deal of data on different projects.
"You look so handsome when you work. I fall in love all over again every time I see you."
At that moment, the sweet, melodic voice of Nemuri rang out from behind him, leading Kai to turn and look at the sexy beauty leaning against the doorframe in her hero costume. Seeing the cheerful smile of his beautiful girlfriend, Kai spoke in a warm and somewhat playful voice.
"And meanwhile, here I am feeling abandoned. My Nemuri didn't think of me all day."
Hearing her beloved, Nemuri smiled sweetly, and soon the sound of her heels clicking against the floor echoed through the garage. Before long, Nemuri embraced her beloved from behind, and as she pressed her sensual body against his, she whispered in a soft, sensual voice into his ear.
"It's just that your Nemuri was very busy finalizing the details of your internship, darling. Luckily, everything's ready now; you'll be doing your internship with your sexy Nemuri, so we're going to have plenty of time to have fun, fufu."
"Oh, I didn't think Nezu would actually agree. I thought he'd come up with some last-minute nonsense."
Kai turned to embrace his sensual girlfriend from the front and then gave her a sweet kiss. Nemuri returned the kiss with sincere and pure love, then said in a soft, sweet voice while resting her head on her beloved's chest.
"He knows that dealing with you is not easy at all and he really doesn't have many options. Apart from us, the only other person who could deal with you effectively is All Might, which has very complex implications. Therefore, behave very well during the internship, and your beloved Nemuri will spoil you a lot."
