Heroics

  Izuku was questioned by several of his classmates the next day, asking to show them what his quirk could do.

  "You'll see what I can do in today's heroics class, and then again on Thursday." He told Kaminari.

  Izuku took his seat. Quite a few of his classmates were thinking about his quirk. Yayorozu in particular was going over various theories in her Mind. Izuku was impressed by how much she'd noticed, deduced and come up with. Nobody had noticed his gentle poking and prodding, nor the glow of the orange Mind Stone on the Infinity Gauntlet.

  The orange glow caught the girl's eye, and she immediately pulled out a small notebook and began writing.

  Passive ability for orange gemstone? Non- physical ability? Senses enhancer of some kind? IQ increase?

  They were good theories, but incorrect. Izuku let the gauntlet vanish, the inner voices of his classmates fading away along with the Mind Stone.

  Everyone's attention was directed to the door when it was doing open.

  "I am here! Coming through the door like a hero!" All Might announced.

  "It's All Might! He really is a teacher here!"

  "Isn't that his Silver Age costume?"

  The number One Hero marched to the front of the room.

  "Good morning, I will be your Heroics teacher this year! Today we will be doing Battle Training! For that, you're going to need... These!"

  All Might pressed a button and the left wall opened up, revealing 20 costume cases.

  "Grab your case, get changed and head to Ground Beta! We will be conducting your training there!"

  All Might burst off through the door.

  Izuku warped himself and his costume to Ground Beta. The costume case and his school uniform were left in the changing room.

  Izuku's costume was just a pair of black jeans and a dark green hoodie, with the Infinity Gauntlet on his left arm.

  The lesson was simple. A villain team of two guarded a bomb, while a hero duo needed to infiltrate the hideout and either capture the villains or secure the bomb before time runs out. The villains needed to prevent that at all costs.

  Izuku was put on a team with Yayorozu.

  "It's good to be working with you." He said politely.

  "You as well Midoriya." She replied.

  They were paired up against Bakugo and Iida as the heroes. Izuku and Yayorozu would be playing the villains.

  "You get ten minutes to prepare villains!" All Might said.

  The duo nodded, heading into their hideout.

  "Do you have a plan Midoriya?" Yayorozu asked.

  Izuku nodded.

  "I can use my quirk to.. disorient our opponents. If you create some traps throughout the building I can guide them into them." He said.

  "I thought the same thing." She said.

  Seven minutes later and they were in the bomb room, waiting.

  "Hero team, start!" All Might said.

  Izuku smiled.

  "Let's begin.."

  The Reality Stone and the Mind Stone glowed.

  ____________

  Bakugo and Iida entered the building.

  The floorplan they had been given was not the same as the building they were walking through.

  Every 20 seconds or so they would be assaulted by a glue gun, or a weighted carbon fibre net, or some other kind of inconvenient obstacle.

  Bakugo's fuse was getting shorter and shorter.

  Until they found it.

  The bomb was standing in a large room. It was stood against the far wall, while Izuku and Yayorozu were waiting at about the halfway point.

  Bakugo blasted off immediately towards Izuku.

  "Where'd you get that flashy quirk Deku, you bastard!?" He screeched.

  Izuku made the Reality Stone flash red.

  Izuku, yayorozu and the bomb vanished in a red glow. Iida and Bakugo looked around frantically.

  They were back at the doorway. The bomb was through the door, while Izuku and Yayorozu stood on either side of the doorway, battle ready.

  "Come on Bakugo, is that the best you've got? It's pretty pathetic if you ask me." He asked.

  Iida tried to stop the blonde, but he flew at Izuku in a blind rage.

  The duo vanished in a red flash once again.

  Bakugo spun around wildly.

  The back wall, where the bomb had originally been resting, was disintegrating. The small particles that flaked off glowed deep vermilion, and the illusion revealed Izuku standing behind it, the Reality Stone glowing.

  "Reality is often disappointing." He said.

  Yayorozu was furiously scribbling in her notebook.

  "Time is up heroes! The villain team wins!!" All Might announced.

  Bakugo was standing dumbstruck, whilst Iida applauded his opponents.

  "Very well done Midoriya and Yayorozu! The traps were ingenious, and distracting us with illusions was excellently done! May I ask how you remodelled the building's layout?" He asked.

  Izuku smiled.

  "I'll explain back in the observation room. Here, go through."

  Izuku opened a light blue portal, which Yayorozu and Iida stepped through.

  Izuku looked towards Bakugo and sighed, sweeping his left arm and firing the open portal at him. The greenette then stepped through the opening in Space.

  "Well done Villain team! Now, who was the MVP of this match?" All Might asked.

  Kirishima raised his hand.

  "We.. don't really know what happened sir.. it was really confusing." He said.

  All Might nodded his head understandingly.

  "I too am befuzzled by young Midoriya's quirk. Would you like to explain what you did?" He asked Izuku.

  Izuku nodded, raising the gauntlet.

  "Bakugo and Iida only thought the building's layout had changed. I actually just used illusions to block off the corridors not filled with traps. As for the final room, I used another set of illusions. I placed a wall between the bomb and team heroes. I created two more illusions that made team heroes think we were in different places. Once the time was up, I revealed the trick." He explained.

  "That's the red gemstone, correct?" Yayorozu asked.

  Izuku nodded, creating an illusatory Izuku standing next to him.

  "The illusion was only visible to the hero's eyes, so that it lessened the strain on me, if any. I was prepared for a number of situations, including Bakugo trying to blast through a wall." Izutwo said.

  Yayorozu began scribbling furiously again.

  "What did you use the orange gemstone for? It glowed alongside the red one at the start" she asked.

  Izutwo vanished.

  "It was just a little extra insurance. Illusions can be seen through, if you're smart enough and know how. I didn't want to take the chance, so I lowered their perception. That's also how they fell for every single trap." He explained.

  "I think it's safe to say that young Midoriya is the MVP of the match. Young Yayorozu's quirk and ingenuity were imperative to the plan, however Young Midoriya was the one to come up with the initial plan, and execute it brilliantly. Any objections?"

  Second time Reality is mentioned. 'Reality is often disappointing.' changes person's perception of Reality? Alters Reality itself? Red gemstone works well in conjunction with orange gemstone. Creates illusions and makes target less likely to question them.

  Orange gemstone changes person's mental faculties. Less perceptive, easier to trick.

  Portals from blue gemstone can be moved at Midoriya's will. Bakugo was deposited in the observation room after portal sweeped along.

  Izuku smirked, impressed. Yayorozu was doing well. Most of his other classmates thought it was just illusions, or it wasn't his quirk at all, just a decoy that hid his real quirk.

  Todoroki's mind was.. disturbing.

 

  Who was Mirio, and how the hell was he All Might's secret love child?
