| Chapter Ten |
| Third Person POV|

"Okay class, today we'll be talking about the Sports Festival. It's in two weeks so training will be your new priority." Everyone cheered, except for the training part. Midoriya nor Shinso arrived at school today, and Aizawa wouldn't tell them anything.

He led the class down to train but little do they know, they'll be fighting their classmates. Most of them were surprised that their two absent classmates were there, asking them questions.

"Class, today you'll be fighting Izuku and Hitoshi. Izuku has both long and short-ranged attacks so you'll have to use your quirk for him. For Hitoshi, I'll let you figure that out." Both of them had their hero costumes on, giving them a slight advantage to their classmates who only wore their gym outfits.

"Shouldn't we be fighting Todoroki and Bakugo too?" Iida asked. "They and Midoriya are the top three in our class."

"Yes I know but I've personally trained them and it's my punishment for them," Aizawa spoke with his monotone voice. Most figured out why quickly and stepped up to fight them first. "Who wants to fight them first."

"Wait- THEM?! You mean like at ONCE?!" Kaminari quivered.

"You need to learn to fight multiple opponents at once, to win you either make them immobile or get them out of bounds," Aizawa responded calmly deciding to pick the first fighter. "Bakugo, you go first."

Surprisingly, with no words of frustration Bakugo walked forwards to the marked arena. Aizawa told them to begin, and Bakugo immediately tried to blow them out. Shinso used the dust as a cover for his own capture weapon, attempting to secure Bakugou in it.

Using his quirk to propel himself upwards the blonde attempted to get behind his opponents but they noticed, and Midoriya used One For All attempting to blow Bakugou out of bounds.

Of course, that plan failed. Bakugo countered with a large explosion and Midoriya jumped to stop it from blowing Shinso away, burning himself slightly.

"Hito!" Shinso wrapped his scarf around Bakugou tightly as the pomeranian attempted to blow Shinso up. Midoriya charged up and ran behind him, using quirk canceling cuffs to stop Bakugou. He chained them tightly, making sure that they dug into his skin and would guarantee a deep red mark and poor circulation in the future.

"That was so manly!" Kirishima said as they dragged Bakugou back.

"Izuku, where did you get those handcuffs." A disappointed Aizawa already knew the answer.

"Auntie Nemuri... Don't kill her please." Midoriya said, pulling out two more pairs from his costume pouch. He put them back in before they were confiscated, looking back to the class. "Who's up next?"

"Ooh! Ooh! Me!" Kaminari exclaimed passing by the very p*ssed Bakugo.

"Izuku! Where are the keys."

"I let Auntie keep them... Just Katsukis actually." Aizawa nodded in agreement as Bakugo wildly screamed profanities. Aizawa took out his phone, dialing the other pro hero as the trio began the fight.

As they began Kaminari had to go on the defensive, as he was thrown backward by air pressure and almost caught in a capture scarf. "Geez!" He yelled out in annoyance. He had no way of attacking both of them without going into 'whey' mode. "One point THREE MILLION VOLTS!" He yelled out.

As they heard those words Midoriya charged himself up and ran to Shinso, picking him up and jumping upwards narrowly escaping the electricity. With Kaminari in 'whey' mode, he was bound and thrown off bounds, rolling all the way to the group.

"Who's up next," Shinso asked.

"Me!" The bubbly Uraraka said springing onto the court. FYI, Her and Midoriya had already made up, their friendship still alive. Midoriya nodded as he started them off, ignoring his father's yells at Kayama who had arrived without the key. Maybe on purpose at the request of her favorite nephew, but that doesn't matter.

"Three, two, one, go!" Midoriya started off, as Uraraka ran at them. "Don't let her touch you!" Shinso tried wrapping her but failed as she made herself float and his aim wasn't that great. Midoriya coughed blood as he flicked his finger, blowing Uraraka away as Shinso encased her in cloth.

Carefully Midoriya picked her up as she was unconscious from hitting the ground so hard and Tsu volunteered to take her to Recovery Girl.

"I'm going to fight next," Todoroki spoke up walking to the arena slightly admiring Midoriya from afar. The greenete puked up blood earning panicked screams from Kayama who was in a fight with Aizawa at the moment.

"I-, I can s-still fight."

"Zuku, you should take a break."

"I'm not going to be a hero by only being able to fight three people!" Midoriya yelled back at Shinso who only nodded and counted down to the beginning of the fight.

Todoroki started with a huge ice blast heating himself up immediately afterward.

"Hey, Todoroki!" Shinso started. "Why do you hate Endeavor so much?!" He stood in front of the vomiting Midoriya protecting him. "I mean, he is the number two hero!"

"Shut up!" Soon as that happened the fight as well have been called off. Shinso made him melt the ice and walk back to the class and sit down. As he was awakened he was greatly baffled but soon realized his mistake.

Jirou was shoved onto the platform unwillingly but as she tried to leave, Mina counted them down.

"Dumb*** f*cker!" She yelled to the pink girl as she prepared to fight. This time, Midoriya started off with trying to knock her out with a flick but Jirou dodged the attack sending her amplified heartbeat back. That alone made their ears bleed but with a dash of more blood on the greenetes hero costume, he charged forwards punching Jirou in the gut before she could react, flinging her out of bounds.

Almost passing out from overexertion, Midoriya swayed around stumbling back to his brother. "Zuku, go sit down."

"No! Who's going to fight next!" Aizawa and Kayama had left a while ago to retrieve the key to the screaming Bakugo who got kicked away and was stuck on his side.

"No one is going to fight Zuku, go to Recovery Girl, and get some rest."

"No, no, no, no, NO! I need to work more to get stronger! I don't have that much longer to live so let me go!" That stunned everyone. No one spoke or even moved as Aizawa returned.

"What happened now...Problem child one, go to Recovery Girl." Before Midoriya could speak out again, Aizawa wrapped him in his scarf pulling him close. "Being reckless doesn't give you more time. I and most of the staff are looking for remedies so shut up and do as you're told." His glare was odd, it wasn't harsh... It was full of remorse and almost pain. Just seeing it could almost break your heart.

Midoriya didn't speak as he was handed to Shinso and carried off bridal style. "For the rest of you who didn't get the chance to compete, you'll be fighting me."

"Hey, little listeners!" Yamada burst through the door making a beeline for the kitchen. Midoriya only half-heartedly waved, staring down at his hands. Shinso too attempted to be kind but a wave was all he could muster. "Well, you guys look like you're having fun."

"Mhm." The greenete hummed sarcastically in return.

"Okay then, whaddya want for dinner?" Opening the fridge he did jazz hands in a desperate attempt to get the duo to laugh. "Tough crowd."

"I'm not hungry." Both said in unison, heading upstairs together. A saddened Present Mic stared at the ice cream longingly with a spoon in hand.

Slowly shutting the door Midoriya looked into the open bathroom and before he knew it a blade was in hand and blood was dripping.

A shallow smile crawled it's way up and etched itself on the greenetes face as he reached down for the bandages after rinsing his wrist off. A ringing noise echoed in the bathroom scaring Midoriya as he hid his arm expecting someone to be watching him. Realizing it was just his phone, he grabbed it with shaky hands seeing the caller ID.

He put his phone on silent and back in his pocket.

Once changed into pajamas the boy laid on his bed checking his phone.

| End Of Phone Conversation |

Shinso crawled out of his bed, sleepily making his way over to his brother's room.

"Oi, you good in there?" Midoriya opened the door, looking down at his feet and holding his wrists behind his back.

"Y-yeah," he stuttered, "want t-to steal some ic-ic-ice cre-cream?" Shinso grinned, formulating a plan.

The plan goes like this: ask for ice cream. Yamada won't say no. Simple as that.
