~ Chapter 67 ~
Y/N watches as Izuku and his team ran off while Anjali goes around to find any sign of the students as she sniff the air before running off. Izuku jumps off the pipe after pipe as he glows with green lightning around his body.
"Midoriya's team's formation-- It looks like what Bakugo's team did in the fourth match." Tenya said, chopping up and down with his arm.
"Their team balance is similar, too. But the Jiro role..." Hanta said.
Kyoka raises her hand, jumping up and down.
"You mean 'scout.'"
"...isn't filled, so they'll have to move more carefully than us or they'll get caught right away."
"Yeah, if they're going to lure them out like we did to pinpoint their location, then Midoriya will have to work harder than Bakugo did."
The scene went on when in the distance, the oil drum glowing purple was hurling towards Izuku. Luckily, he caught on and kicked it out of the way in time. His eyes then spotted Monoma with a coy smile on his lips, which made Y/N really want to punch him. Izuku flicked his fingers as he send the wave of air shot towards him, but he easily dodged it. Monoma said something as he brought out watches on his fingers that shows the time he has for copying Quirks. Izuku chased after Monoma while shooting more air shots at him. Meanwhile with Izuku's teammates, Mina was throwing acids at the same purple floating objects that Monoma uses. Only it was someone's Quirk called Reiko Yanagi. Those objects that are floating were shrunk by Yui Kodai who can make sizes. Then there's Nirengeki Shoda who can make twin impact on the objects that are being thrown everywhere at Ochaco, Mina, and Mineta as they quickly dodged them all.
Back to Izuku and Monoma, air shots fired on and on. As the fight went on, Monoma said something that made Izuku feel almost angry and then suddenly, his body began to glow brighter than before, shocking everyone who are watching this. Y/N growled in anger as she blamed Monoma for saying something that's clearly personal. She then gasped to see strange black like whips moving all around uncontrollably as Izuku was forced to move while trying to pull it back. Monoma managed to escape as he flew off. Izuku crashed into the pipes as he was shaking and very visibly strained, holding his arm in pain. Then, the black whips sprung out and began moving around towards Izuku's and Monoma's teammates as they manage to dodge them. More buildings and pipes are being crashed and blown up. Anjali, who was seeing this, quickly ran away while grabbing Ochaco, Mina, and Mineta to take them to safety as she had somehow found them and was about to attack when this happened.
"Midoriya has another new move?" Hanta questioned.
"No... This is..." Y/N gasped out.
"Aizawa, Vlad! You should stop them. Something's off." All Might said, who's looking terrified as he realize what was wrong with Izuku.
Y/N watched on with worry as Izuku was clearly frustrated while yelling at something as she could tell he's telling it to stop. Suddenly, Ochaco flys over to him with the help of Anjali's boost by throwing her over with her tail as she caught him and held him tight. Ochaco yelled at him to calm down as more pipes and buildings are being crashed and destroyed. Y/N then noticed Hitoshi is standing there, looking terrified at this. She then realized that maybe he could help since he can make people talk and then they freeze. She hoped she was right as she crossed her fingers for this to work as she guessed it right as Ochaco yelled at him to help Izuku.
Hitoshi then had a thought for a moment before he slowly removed his mask and shouted to Izuku as he use his Brainwashing. Y/N smiled as she managed to read his lips as he told Izuku to fight him. Izuku then managed to reply back to him with a loud 'Yeah...!' and all the black whips stopped moving as they hung like spiderwebs for a second until they are flown back into Izuku's arm and disappeared. All that's left is a big scar that's been like that since his last battle. He was now frozen as his eyes are blank, but then it was quickly back to normal when Ochaco slapped him in the cheek. Y/N sighed in relief as Izuku and Ochaco landed safely. Things were going fine until it was ruined when Monoma came in and tried to touch Izuku who quickly dodged it and backed away from him. Looks like the battle is not over yet.
Then, all the teams from Class A and Class B are together as they fire Quirks at each other. Y/N silently crossed her fingers in hope that her friends will win this last round. The scene shows Mineta saving Mina from twin impact with his purple grape balls and then he was thrown towards Reiko as he did his Mineta Bounce all around the area as he completely surrounded her, Nirengeki, and Yui, including Anjali who's about to attack them.
"Mineta and Ashido are putting up a good fight!" Denki said.
"If they get up close, then it's Ashido's game! She's amazing!" Eijiro said with a smile.
"The other two are bad at close combat, so Shoda has to protect them by himself." Kosei said.
"The difference in their numbers is backfiring." Jurota said.
"I thought the teachers went to stop them?! What about Midoriya and Uraraka...?" Kyoka asked.
"No worries. I'm pretty sure they knew since Hitoshi managed to stop Izuku's Quirk, they're letting them continue because they're determined to win. If it happens like what we saw today, they'll stop it." Y/N said, watching the screen as Ochaco punched away the floating object, saving Izuku from Monoma.
Monoma suddenly began to glow as lightning surrounds him. Her eyes widened that he can copy One For All! But, he can't do that not without his body in shape and that's Izuku told her about. He's literally trying to kill himself without knowing the consequences as he's too busy trying to win against Class A. Luckily, Ochaco knocked him down with her Gunhead Martial Arts. The next then showed Izuku catching Hitoshi's scarf that he was about to throw to save Monoma. Ochaco pressed her fingers together as Izuku landed in the building and started fighting against Hitoshi just like back in Sports Festival. Y/N bit her lip in nervousness as Hitoshi wrapped his scarf all around the two giant pipes and made it go down on Izuku as they fall. Izuku then did the unexpected thing no one else thought they'd imagine as he caught both of the giant pipes with his Blackwhip just like earlier, only he can control them now as he tossed the pipes away. Hitoshi picked up his mask as things were about to get real when Izuku's Blackwhip suddenly shut down as those leftover pipes dropped down.
"That power..." Katsuki mumbled.
"I see it..." Y/N said silently to him.
Izuku's body shook in pain after using that new power as he kneel down before going back up to face Hitoshi who began to run away as he swings himself over like Spiderman. Y/N smiled in satisfaction as Ochaco had manage to catch Monoma as she tossed him in the prison. Then, in a flash, Izuku zooms in towards Hitoshi when suddenly he got hit something right in the face. Y/N couldn't believe what she saw and looked back on the next screen to see Monoma smirking. He must have use his copy Quirk on Izuku. Nirengeki punched Mineta in the belly, using God-Bod. Reiko then tossed more objects towards Mina who covered herself in midair.
"Mina!" Y/N exclaimed.
"Oh, no!" Eijiro gasped.
"Nice, Shoda! Yanagi! You can do it! Turn the tables!" Togaru grinned.
"Don't get too excited." Y/N said.
On cue, Izuku who was falling for a second until he went back up and pummeled himself towards Hitoshi while dodging the scarf. Ochaco karate chopped Reiko in the back of her neck, knocking her out. Then comes Yui as Ochaco wrapped herself around her to push her towards Mineta's grape balls that's somehow attached to the pillar as Yui is now stuck. The tornado of acid comes up towards Nirengeki and it revealed Mina as she uppercut him, saving Mineta. Izuku spins himself around the scarf, tying himself and then pulling Hitoshi towards him as they fell to the ground with him on top, trapping him as Hitoshi is now caught. Before they knew it, all the students of Class B, which is Monoma, Hitoshi, Reiko and Nirengeki are all caught in Class A's prison while Yui is left stuck outside. As for Anjali after the students were caught, Izuku and the others had somehow managed to find her stuck against all of Mineta's grape balls that had been tossed around randomly and then locked her in the cage next to them. Y/N couldn't believe it as she smiled brightly.
"It looked kind of dangerous for a second there, but the fifth match is over! This marks the end of all the matches." Midnight happily announced since Vlad isn't here.
Behind her is Kyoka and Toru holding up the big sign that says, "Midnight is committed to fair commentary" and "Vlad King and his biased commentary should be replaced immediately".
"In every match, you all learned about your enemies and yourselves and fought bravely. So now, we'll announce the results!"
The screen showed the students of Class A and Class B from the number of matches that have been completed. It showed exes and circles on each of them.
"Match one, A. Match two, B. Match three, A. Match four, A. Match five, A. Therefore, the winners of the class battle are... Class A!"
"YAY!!!!" Class A cheered in happiness.
"I wasn't feeling that competitive, but..." Kosei said sadly.
"Right? It's kind of frustrating, isn't it?" Kinoko said, pouting.
"Almost everyone was decieved..." Ibrara said, tear falling out of her eye.
Y/N couldn't be more proud of everyone that they had won and then everyone are now back and regrouped as she send those dinosaurs back home except for Anjali who stayed there to wait for the class to finish.
"It's time for the critique. Um, let's start with Midoriya. What was going on with you?" Aizawa said, not forgetting the Blackwhip incident.
Izuku shot up in surprise.
"Huh? Uh..."
"Something really dark manifested." Fumikage said.
"It got out of control, but what was that move called?" Shihai asked.
"For a new move, doesn't it seem like too much of a departure from super strength?" Eijiro questioned.
Izuku look at his hand.
"I don't know for sure myself yet, either. I was overflowing with power and couldn't hold it back. It was like something I'd trusted up until now suddenly bared its fangs. I was really scared... But thanks to Uraraka and Shinso stopping me, I was able to realize right away that that wasn't it. If Shinso hadn't made me pass out with Brainwashing, I don't know what would've happened. Shinso askrd if it was a bluff, but I really had no idea what was going on. Thanks, both of you!"
"Yeah! When Midoriya went out of control, Shinso did great, but Uraraka's swift response was wonderful, too! To put your body on the line to stop your friend! Yes! That's great! I love it!" Midnight happily squealed.
Mina leaned over to Ochaco with a smirk.
"Uraraka, you flew out there right away, didn't you? You were really fast! You hugged him hard, huh? I bet you imagined yourself with Y/N if she went out of control, huh?"
"Um... I can hear you, you know?" Y/N said, slightly blushing at the thought of that.
Ochaco's face glowed pink as she realized that Mina was right, but she surprisingly kept her posture as she spoke calmly with a hint of shyness.
"I jumped out without thinking, so I think I need to be more calm. But I think it was better than not doing anything and regretting it later."
"...You've matured, Uraraka." Aizawa said, surprising her before she smiled.
"I didn't do what I did just for Midoriya's sake. I just did what Uraraka told me to do, and anyway... I saw Monoma and the others being attacked by the dark thing. If we didn't stop that, it was likely we would've lost anyway. I stopped him because I wanted to fight Midoriya and beat him. Everything else was just coincidence. In my heart, it was all I could do just to take care of mysel--"
Aizawa cut him off by choking Hitoshi with his own scarf that was wrapped around his neck. Izuku and Ochaco were shocked at that while Y/N pouted that she wanted to do that after hearing him doubt himself.
"No one's asking that much of you. Everyone here has been training every day to become a hero who can save others. To reach that level right away, you'd have to be as talented as All Might. To do something for someone else. Even if you prioritize that, you can't save other people. If you don't have the power to do something on your own, then you can't protect anyone else. In that respect, what you were doing was enough to earn a passing grade."
Hitoshi was surprised and gripped onto his scarf.
"But I've still got a long way to go. After fighting everyone, I understand that well. I experienced first-hand how amazing the hero course is. I'm not going to be satisfied with just passing."
He looked up at the sky in determination.
"I'll work harder and harder and aim higher."
"That's fine. Go with a 'Plus Ultra' mentality."
"Yes, sir!"
Y/N smiled at him that he's getting better and better. Izuku spoke to Hitoshi that surely surprised him.
"Shinso, that last thing you did-- You were trying to get me to brawl with you and bring it back to your specialty, weren't you? You were so fast trying to stop me with those falling pipes, and the way you used thr binding cloth was just like Mr. Aizawa. Honestly, in the first match, I thought your team helped make your power shine. But that definitely wasn't all you had. Your judgement and movements were equal to those of hero course students and made me eager to improve! If we're talking about strength used for someone else's sake, then I was the one who wasn't any good."
"Yeah." Aizawa agreed.
"We will have another review after this, but most likely--no, in all probability--Shinso will be in the hero course starting from your second year. Make sure you don't lose to him." Vlad announced.
"Right!!!"
"Which class will he be in?" Denki asked.
"A?" Eijiro guessed.
"B?" Tetsu guessed.
"We'll figure that out later. The critique isn't over yet."
Mina raises her hand.
"Anyway, Mineta was the worst, so please punish him for it."
"Huh?! That was just a really lucky accident. Besides, I put my body on the line to lead Shoda and the others around by the nose."
Y/N noticed that Monoma was silent as the smug smile was still on his face until he turned at them with a look of pride.
"It's true that Class B was defeated today. However! We didn't necessarily lose if you look at the content! If I had known that Midoriya's Quirk was a blank, then we could've come up with a plan in response that! In order words-- If we fight again right now, you don't know who will win!"
"We're not doing that! Today's class is over already!" Vlad scolded, but Monoma kept laughing maniacally.
Y/N was about ask Anjali to eat him already when Aizawa stepped in.
"While we're on the subject, Monoma, come see Eri tomorrow."
Monoma stopped laughing and looked at him in confusion. Y/N was shocked at that and immediately came over to Aizawa.
"What? Bring him to Eri? Um, have you lost your mind? What if he bring back luck to her?"
"No worries, Y/N. You'll see why tomorrow."
"Um... okay.."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At night, Class 1-A Dorm
Y/N couldn't help but feel more deadpanned at this while sweatdropping along with Feather who's in her arms as Tetsu and Eijiro are doing their dramatic 'manly' scene as Tetsu punched Eijiro right in the cheek, causing him to fall down.
"Idiot! Bastard! Stop whining!"
"But today, you were totally better than me."
"Since I'm metal, I can withstand heat! But since I'm metal, there's a limit to how hard I can be! I'm different from you, who can get harder the more you're hit! We're both strong in our ways!"
For some reason, a wave background was shown behind them as Tetsu held out a hand to him who immediately takes it and stands up.
"Yeah! Tetsutetsu!"
"You two... are so weird." Y/N said with Feather huffing out in agreement.
"Oh, come on, Y/N! Join us!"
"Nope! I'm out!"
But the boys are not letting her go as they wrapped their arms around her and then move side to side.
"Hey!! Let go!"
"Never!!"
Y/N and Feather sighed as they let the boys huddle around her as they all hung out with all Class A and Class B while eating their dinner beef stew. Y/N then managed to get through as she saw Fumikage and Shidai hung out together with Gunner in Fumikage's arms. She smiled that everyone is hanging out together.
The next morning, Eri, Mirio, and Blue had come for a visit, which then got Eri to hid behind Y/N's legs who came over to greet her while Blue growled at Monoma with her teeth bared.
"The bad part of U.A...."
"Don't worry, Eri. I'll protect you." Y/N dramtically said, holding her close.
Monoma laughed, pointing at her.
"What is this child talking about?"
"I told her you were the bad part of U.A. during the school festival." Mirio bluntly stated with a smile, making Y/N giggle and secretly high five him for that.
"I'm a man right in the middle of the path of righteousness, though!"
"Um... what's going on?" Izuku questioned.
Aizawa comes over to them.
"Oh, Midoriya, Y/N, Togata. Sorry to make you come out. There was something I wanted to ask Monoma to do, but unfortunately, Eri and Monoma's personalities are too different."
"Sick burn..." Y/N whispered, making Mirio snicker.
"Just what do you think of me?" Monoma laughed.
They went inside the dorm as Monoma touches Eri small hand and the same small horn like hers comes out of his head. He looked at her for a moment.
"How about it, Monoma?" Aizawa asked.
"Hmm... It's a blank. Unfortunately, I can't do what you hoped, Eraser."
"I see. That's too bad."
"You wanted him to copy Eri's Quirk? Why?" Mirio asked.
"Monoma, what do you mean by 'blank'?" Izuku asked.
"It means it's the same type as yours. Your Quirk's a stockpiling one, too, right? I copy the nature of the Quirk itself. If it's a Quirk where you accumulate something and change it into energy, I can't copy what needs to be accumulated." Monoma explained rather calmly, surprising Y/N.
"I see." Izuku said.
"For example, Fatgum's Quirk is one where you have to stockpile fat. Even if Monoma copies it, he'd still be skinny. I get 'blanks' once in a while. The same logic goes for when I copied your Quirk but couldn't release any power."
"So, why Copy?" Y/N asked.
"Even if Eri's able to activate her Quirk again, if she doesn't know how to use it, the same thing might happen again. That's why I thought it'd be easier if Monoma could copy her Quirk and teach her how to use it directly. But it's not that easy, huh?"
Eri touches her small horn with sadden look.
"I'm sorry... You're having trouble because of me... My power gives everyone trouble... I wish I didn't have this power..."
"Eri..." Mirio frowned.
Blue comes over and nudges Eri to at least comfort her. Izuku and Y/N kneels down to Eri's level.
"It doesn't only cause trouble. Don't forget-- You saved us!" Y/N said with a smile.
"I think it's about how you use it. You know, like with knives. They're dangerous, but the sharper they are, the more delicious the food they can make." Izuku added.
"That's why your power is wonderful." Y/N said, making Eri smile with sparkles in her eyes.
"I'll do my best after all!"
Y/N smiles and pats her head.
"Hey, wanna go and see Anjali?"
Eri nods with a hum.
"I'll show you where she is. She's all grown up already! You're gonna love her!"
Y/N takes Eri's hand and leads her out of the dorms.
"Come on, guys! You curious to see where she lives now? Let's go! You can come too, Monoma, I guess."
Monoma raises his eyebrow.
"Why? So you could feed me to her."
"No. Not going to do that... yet. Just come before I change my mind."
"Well, if you insist."
Monoma, Mirio, Izuku, and Aizawa follow after Y/N and Eri with Blue walking besides them. After a minute of walking, they made to the big paddock where they can see trees showing out. Y/N presses the keyboard on screen as she unlocks the password, causing the door to slide open widely. She then whistles to Anjali. It was silent for a moment until they heard loud stomp. The trees and bushes rustled wildly as they come closer until it burst out to show Anjali who roars in happiness to see her. Then, her eyes landed on Eri which made her go faster. Eri was in awe at how big she is while Y/N smiles with pride. Mirio was speechless at the sight. Anjali gazes at everyone with bright wide eyes that are filled with joy until they land on Monoma who gulped. She frowns and growls at him. Anjali stops right in front of them as Y/N and Eri walks over to her.
"Hey, Anjali. Remember Eri?"
Anjali nods as Eri slowly reaches her hand out and then touches her snout, making her smile and lean into her touch. Eri's eyes widened and smiled.
"She's beautiful!"
"Yep."
Blue comes over to check out on Anjali who looks at her as they sniff around each other like dogs. Y/N giggle at that as they stop sniffing and they began to play around. Things were surely looking good so far as Eri was safely placed on Anjali's back as she yells in surprise and joy that she's actually riding the hybrid dinosaur. As with Monoma, let's just say he and Y/N had a small talk as they slowly get along shockingly. She even ask him if he can copy anybody's Quirk, what about hers? Which he reply with a smirk that if she care to find out. Y/N threatened him to don't push it and when he did touch her, he was shocked that he got her atomic power as well as the form of the Indoraptor which he won't show her yet. Other than that, it was good.
