"Care to explain this dust, Bakugo?" Mineta antagonizes the blonde as Sero laughs his ass off.

"That was s'posed to be Deku's job, so shut the hell up!" Bakugo yells before getting after the green haired boy.

"Sorry! If you guys could all put your garbage outside your doors. I'll collect it." Midoriya tells us.

"Don't worry about mine." I tell him, "I took it out this morning."

"How early were you up Sis?" Shoto asks.

"You don't want to know." I rub the back of my neck.

"So you're actually up late." Toya translates.

"Todoroki Azula!" Iida chides "Sleep is vital for a sound mind, and even more necessary for your body to recover especially with the amount of training we do."

"Chill Iida, I'll be fine." I wave him off "I've done it before with hella longer training sessions."

"That doesn't make it any better."

I roll my eyes at the lecture as I walk towards the elevator to go change and start my homework.

"You're sleeping with us tonight." Denki states, taking over my bed for the most part to do his homework.

"Yeah, I will use my quirk if it means you'll get some sleep." Hitoshi adds, taking the other portion of my bed.

"You're acting like staying up all night is terrible, I've done worse." I eyeroll.

"It is!" Kami tells me "I don't even know how you didn't fall asleep in class."

"Practice, Espresso, and a midday energy drink." I put a finger up for each thing.

"Still going to be sleeping with us." Hitoshi states.

"We'll probably get caught." I sigh.

"So? You need sleep." I'm poked by 'Toshi's foot.

"Fine."

"Yes!" Kami cheers, grinning from ear-to-ear.

– – –

"I'm so sorry for all the trouble!!" Midoriya bows as soon as he walks into class. Dude, it wasn't that big of deal, you were just grounded.

"Now that Midoriya is back," Aizawa says "let's talk about work studies for real." the teacher turns to the door "Come on in."

Oh?

"Here to tell you how work studies differ from internships are some students who've gone out there and experienced it all" Aizawa explains, "They're taking time out of their busy schedules to be here, so give them your full attention. Out of all the students at UA, these are the top three reigning third-years, we call them The Big Three."

Of course the class begins to chatter "Let's get right into it." Aizawa says over the noise "How about some introductions? Starting with you Amajiki."

The guy with black hair gives an intense stare for a second or two before "It's no good Mirio, Hado," he mumbles "I was going for potatoes, but they all still look like people from the neck down..." his voice gets quieter before turning to the black board and announcing "I wanna go home!"

"Mood" I tap on my desk as the girl speaks up "This is our kitten Amajiki Tamaki and I'm Hado Nejire. We've came in to talk about our experiences with the work studies." Before jumping into asking everyone questions but not waiting for an answer before jumping to the next question/person.

Then the blonde speaks up "Don't ya worry, Eraserhead! I'm the main act here!" he tells him before saying to us "The future is looking?" cupping a hand to his ear looking for a response.

"Horrible?" I offer, earning a kick to the chair.

"Grim, but I'll take that." he laughs "I'm seeing a lot of faces that seem to say 'Who cares?' You got us three third-years showing up out of nowhere, here to talk about work studies that you don't have to do. Doesn't make sense, right? You all got your licenses as first-years hmph. I guess this year's batch of first-years are real go-getters. And since our talk here isn't going so well, how about you all take me on?!"

I give a smirk, alright being it Pac-Man.

After getting the okay from Sensei, we all dress out and head over to Gym Gramma. The only ones that aren't participating in this are my brothers, look like I'll have to represent the Todoroki name. I take my spot in the back mostly to get a read on this guy's fighting style.

Just as the rest of my peers get ready, the third-year drops his pants, and his shirt. "Whoops! My quirk is tricky like that." the guy says before putting his pants back on. I crease my eyebrows, that gotta be on purpose.

Midoriya goes to kick him in the face as I get in a battle stance, the kick legit goes through him before disappointing. Fuck, listen for any signs of him.

"Long-range attackers go down first!!" the blonde appears behind Jiro, butt-ass naked.

"FOR FUCK SAKE KID! KEEP YOUR GODDAMN CLOTHES ON!!" Toya yells as I back up closer to the close-range fighters.

"Hey cutie," Kami says "any ideas with this guy?"

"He needs to get his pants on." I answer "And seriously, a nickname when I need to focus?"

"Trying to see what will get a reaction."

"Don't do sweetheart, it won't be the reaction you're wanting."

"Thanks for the tip." he winks before charging like a dumbass, going down with a punch in the gut. Yeah, good thing Toya isn't fighting.

"This is a great opportunity, everyone, so get the lesson beaten into you." Aizawa calls out "Togata Mirio, as far as I know, is the closest to being a top hero, including us Pros!"

"So an actual challenge." I smirk as Togata turns to us melee fighters. Looks like I'll have some fun. Of course the remainder of the class thinks this guy is invincible and now wants him to take it easy. Aw, are the little heroes scared.

"What's with that look Todoroki?" Hagakure asks.

"Just getting ready to have some fun." I smile, rolling my shoulders back. Looks like speed and agility will be key with this guy. Might use the cloaking technique to spice it up a bit. Midoriya starts mumbling a plan. Kuddos for you.

"Look all you like!"Togata dashes towards us before glitching into the ground. Relax my state, deep breath and be ready for anything.

"Yeah, Imma stick with you." Hitoshi states, now standing next to me.

"If you can keep up, 'cause I ain't holding back much." I warn my boyfriend.

Midoriya gets hit in the gut and then everyone else in quick succession.

"Two left, you guys just got in from C, right?" he asks "I'll hold back a little since I'm nice."

"For him, maybe," I gesture my head to my boyfriend "but I want an actual challenge."

"Don't get cocky now." he glitches through the ground.

"Not the person I want to see naked." my boyfriend mumbles.

" 'Toshi, duck." I partly order him before putting my hands on his shoulders to spin, u[side down, and aim two kicks at Togata right as he appears behind us. The lack of contact means he used his quirk.

"That was a close one, I'm impressed." Togata remarks as I land on my feet in front of him.

"Told ya you don't have to go easy on me." I smirk, "You good 'Toshi?" I then ask, keeping my eyes on our senpai.

"Yup, wasn't expecting to be a springboard though."

"Sorry 'bout that, and for this."

"For what?"

I cleared my thoughts and held my breath. Two strikes out of the seven I aimed landed before I had to breathe.

"Since when the fuck could you do that?!" Hitoshi yells before getting hit in the gut.

"Looks like I gotta crank it up with ya." the blonde says with a grin, luckily with his pants on, for now.

"WHOOP HIS ASS, AZULA!" Toya yells. That's the plan, Niichan.

We go on fighting for a few more minutes before I succumb to a punch in the gut. Jesus, why so fucking hard?!

"That took longer than expected, but you get the idea."Togata says, everyone but Shoto, Toya and myself hunched over a bit. Though I am barely standing up.

"Feels like all you did was punch us all in the gut." Someone groans.

"Think my quirk is strong?" Togata asks.

"Way too strong!" Sero calls out.

"And totally unfair from where I'm standing!" Hagakure adds.

Mina then asks "You can phase and warp? What're you, some kinda hybrid like the Todoroki Twins?!"

"Seriously?" I sigh.

"Oh, oh can I tell them your quirk?" the blue(?)-hair girl waves her hands, hopping up and down before telling us anyways "It's called Permeation!"

"Hado, this Mirio's time to shine." Amajiki-sempai mumbles, face to the wall.

"I just got the one, it's Permeation. Like you guessed, 'warping' is another function of it!" Togata says, resulting in Midoriya asking about how the quirk works.

"When I activate my quirk across my whole body, I pass through anything and everything! And everything includes the ground itself!!" the third-year explains.

"Oh so then it's like you were falling!" Uraraka remarks as I feel both hands being taken.

"Yup!" Togata confirms "Falling straight through the Earth!! But when I deactivate my quirk underground, something amazing happens: Multiple objects can't occupy the same space at once, so one of them gets repelled. That means I get launched out of the ground instantaneously! That's the secret behind my warping. I can control the angle via my orientation and pose, so I basically choose where I get shot out!"

"Sounds like a video game glitch to me." Ashido huffs, causing the blonde to laugh "You could say that!!"

"Attacks pass right through you." Tsu says "And you can change positions instantly. Guess it's a strong quirk after all."

"Not quite." Togata admits "More like I made it into a strong quirk. When it's active, my lungs can't absorb oxygen. Even when I breathe, the air just passes right through. Simi;ary, my eardrums can't pick up vibrations and my eyes can't absorb light. It all just passes through me and I can't feel anything at all.

"That said, my body still has mass, so all I have is this sensation of falling endlessly." He goes into how even just going through a wall is a whole process.

"I bet I'd screw up a lot if I was in a rush." Kami admits besides me.

"And not being able to feel anything? I'd freeze up." Mineta adds.

"I used to take my sweet time," Togata says, "just to be safe. I'd hold back until the last seconds and end up falling anyways. Then my clothes would fall off.

"But time was one of the things that I didn't have if I wanted to make it to the top with my quirk!! I had to predict faster than my surroundings could change!!" Why are you jabbing your forehead dude? "Foresight was essential if I wanted to 'trick' time itself. And experience was the only way to get good at predicting! Experience fasters that sort of mental ability!

"I've taken up a lot of your time, but this is why we had to fight! Because experience teaches more than words ever could! During our work studies, we weren't just guests, but genuine sidekicks! We're treated like Pros! And let me tell you, it was terrifying. We've dealt with life-and-death situations! But scary or not, painful or not, it was the sort of top-notch experience you can't get from school alone.

"I turned my work study experience into power, that's allowing me to reach for the stars! Which is why, even if you're scared, I wholeheartedly recommend it to you first-years."

I let go of my boyfriends' hands to clap, I mean, he didn't have to convince me, I was already planning to do it.

"Guests, huh?" Kami says "It did feel that way during our internships."

"They never let us try anything dangerous." Jiro adds.

"Guess it's a good thing I wasn't here for them, I'd been bored out of my mind." I comment.

"Unless you went to Dad's." Shoto says.

"Time to head back." Aizawa says.

"Thank you very much!" we chime out as our senpais leave.

-

"Mr. Compress," I answer in my deeper voice. I know he knows, but out of caution "I haven't heard from you in a minute. What's up?" I'm alone in my dorm, just locked the door so no one, mainly my twin, just walks in.

"I wish I was calling to chat, unfortunately, I'm not." he tells me, his voice sounds grave, "We just had an encounter with a young gang leader."
