Screen 1 – Work Studies Under the No. 1 Hero
With hero society under growing tension after the rise of the Paranormal Liberation Front, U.A. assigns its strongest students to frontline experience.
Midoriya, Bakugo, Todoroki — and Ben begin their Work Studies at the agency of the new No. 1 Hero, Endeavor.
The agency is intense.
Sirens. Briefings. Nonstop patrol schedules.
Endeavor looks over the four of them, flames flickering slightly.
"This isn't training," he says. "This is preparation for war."
Bakugo grins, cracking his knuckles.
"Tch. Finally."
Todoroki remains silent, focused.
Midoriya straightens, nervous but determined.
Ben rolls his shoulders, Omnitrix steady on his wrist.
"Guess things just got serious."
Outside the agency, the city feels uneasy —
like it knows something big is coming.
Screen 2 – Training Under Endeavor
Endeavor wastes no time.
From day one, the training is brutal and nonstop.
"You don't get minutes in the real world," he says.
"You get seconds."
The students are drilled hard on three rules:
Fast decision-making
Coordinated movement
Immediate rescue followed by combat
Every scenario is timed.
If a villain isn't neutralized fast enough, Endeavor resets the drill without mercy.
---
Midoriya focuses on precision.
Instead of raw power, he learns to apply just enough One For All to move, strike, and rescue without damaging his body or the environment.
Bakugo refines his explosive mobility, syncing his movement with teammates instead of charging alone.
Endeavor watches closely.
"…Good. You're finally using your explosions to move others, not just yourself."
Todoroki works on smoother transitions — ice to fire, fire to ice — no hesitation, no wasted motion.
For the first time, both sides of his power move together naturally.
---
Ben's training is different.
Endeavor studies him carefully.
"Your power doesn't come from a Quirk," he says. "So you train the body behind it."
Ben is put through pure physical conditioning:
Reaction drills
Balance and impact control
Endurance under extreme heat and pressure
Even without transforming, he's pushed to fight, move, and think like a pro hero.
Ben wipes sweat from his face, breathing hard.
"So this is… hero physics training?"
Endeavor doesn't smile.
"Call it survival."
By the end of the day, all four students are exhausted —
but faster, sharper, and closer to operating like real heroes.
The calm before the storm is almost over.
Screen 3 – High-End Nomu: Trial by Fire
Sirens scream through the city.
A High-End Nomu drops from above, landing in the street with a shockwave that shatters windows and cracks the pavement.
Endeavor ignites instantly.
"This isn't a drill. You move like pros — now!"
Ben slams the Omnitrix.
Click.
A radiant surge of light erupts as Chromastone forms, crystal body glowing with stored energy.
---
The Battle Begins
The Nomu charges first, speed and strength far beyond normal villains.
It swings — Chromastone steps forward, absorbing the impact and redirecting the energy into the ground, stopping the shockwave from reaching civilians.
"Deku! Bakugo! Left side!" Ben calls out.
Midoriya launches in, using controlled One For All to strike joints and blind spots.
Bakugo blasts overhead, explosions not for damage — but positioning.
Todoroki seals off streets with ice, then scorches escape routes with fire.
The coordination is clean.
Fast.
Professional.
---
Turning the Pressure Up
The Nomu adapts. Muscles swell. Speed increases.
It breaks through Todoroki's ice and slams Bakugo into a wall.
Chromastone intercepts, creating a crystal barrier at the last second.
"You good?"
Bakugo snarls. "Keep moving!"
Chromastone absorbs a beam-like attack from the Nomu's mouth, crystal body flaring brighter.
He fires it back in a controlled blast, staggering the Nomu without leveling the street.
Midoriya sees the opening.
"NOW!"
He and Bakugo strike together — smash and explosion timed perfectly.
Todoroki follows, freezing the Nomu's legs mid-motion.
For a moment… the monster falters.
---
Almost Enough
The Nomu roars and tears free, damaged but still standing.
Breathing hard, the students regroup instinctively — no panic, no shouting.
Endeavor watches, flames roaring higher.
"…You pushed it this far. Good."
---
Endeavor Finishes It
Endeavor steps forward, heat warping the air.
"Stand back."
He unleashes a focused inferno, driving the Nomu skyward.
With one final, overwhelming strike, the High-End is taken down and restrained.
Silence follows.
---
Aftermath
The four students stand together, exhausted but steady.
They're not shaken.
They're not reckless.
Endeavor looks at them — truly looks.
"…You almost handled a High-End yourselves."
Ben lets Chromastone fade, returning to human form.
"Guess the training worked."
Midoriya exhales.
"We moved without thinking… like a team."
Bakugo scoffs, but there's pride in it.
"Tch. Obviously."
Todoroki nods quietly.
Endeavor turns away, flames dimming.
"You're not pros yet. But you're close."
Above them, smoke clears.
Hero society is still under threat —
but the next generation is ready to stand its ground.
