Saturday morning came and Midoriya didn't have a single minute of proper sleep, due to the terror of being caught in the act with Uraraka and also because of a certain unfinished business. So in order to stay conscious at least during the special class, he went to the bathroom and took a cold shower. After that he grabbed something for breakfast and quickly moved to Ground Beta, where the special class would occur. There, alone with his thoughts, he let his mind wander to his girlfriend, inevitably thinking about what would happen now. The shocked faces of the girls were as fresh on his mind as the menacing ones. Leaning on the gate, he ended falling half asleep, and didn't noticed when his classmates arrived. Most of them got surprised that he was up so early, but thought that is was just an habit of him. The girls, on the other hand, were internally thinking how could he even sleep after what he did.

Soon Aizawa sensei appeared, rolled up on his sleeping bag and with huge marks under his eyes. He mentioned that he had to revise the homework of the last week but maybe he was getting too much of it alone. Anyway, he just introduced the objective of the special class, increase the teamwork in uncommon and disbalanced situations, along with planning in advancement and reaction to sudden events. That said, he just rolled out to somewhere else while the responsible teacher carried on with the class.

"I'm here to take care of the special class!"

"All Might!" cheered the students.

All Might appeared in his muscular form, then instantly blew off smoke and the skeletal form of Yagi Toshinori appeared. Since the last flames of One For All vanished, this was kind of the way that All Might greeted the others. It was kind of funny when you got used to it, a towering and muscular form puffing out into a short and skinny man. The Support Team made some adjustments on his uniform so even when he was on Small Might form it wasn't four times larger than him. Even after all that happened All Might was still the Symbol of Peace.

"Good morning, young students. It is quite unusual having classes on Saturdays, but we have a lot of ground to cover on your path to becoming Pro Heroes. Ahem, now, for the activity of today, it will be a game of capture the flag, with some special rules"

"Cool!"

"Alright! I'm getting flared up!"

"Let me finish first! Well then, you'll be grouped in two opposing teams of five each, chosen randomly. This simulates real life situations in which you have to work together with whoever is at the place. The objective is to take the enemy flag and carry it back to your base. You can select any place to hide your flag and make your base"

"I see, this way we'll need to take care of our flag and also think of a way to discover where the other one is. As expected from the teachers of U.A! Always thinking ahead!"

"Iida-kun, there are more rules"

"Oh! I'm really sorry, sensei!"

"Right... well, you can use any type of strategy you think about. The match is over if the enemy carry your flag to their base but you can try to retrieve it while they steal it. Also there's a time limit of fifteen minutes. In this case the winner will be the team that manages to hold the enemy's flag, even out of their base, and no, you are not allowed to carry your own flag around"

"What about the special rules? Ribbit"

"There will be a total of six villains around the city, completely random too. Their only objective is to get in the way of both teams"

"What?" Most of the students said.

"Villains most of the time commit crimes just because they feel like. They put people in danger and destroy things, all because of selfish desires. As heroes in training, you need to learn how to deal with this type of obstacle and also focus on the objective in front of you. Think about a person that you have to carry to the hospital, or a hostage or victim of an accident"

Everyone suddenly got more serious. There was this thing about All Might that, even on his Small Might form, he inspired the others to do what was right, exceed the expectations, go beyond. The Symbol of Peace was really indestructible in that way.

They passed to sorting out the teams, and the first one was: Yaoyorozu Momo, Hagakure Tooru, Sero Hanta, Shoji Mezo and Midoriya Izuku.

The second team: Kaminari Denki, Kirishima Eijiro, Asui Tsuyu, Ashido Mina and Sato Rikido.

The villain of this round: Todoroki Shoto, Ojiro Mashirao, Mineta Minoru, Jiro Kyoka, Aoyama Yuga and Bakugou Katsuki.

The two teams got into Ground Beta by different ways while the villains scattered around. The remaining students and All Might went to the monitoring room. Turning on the speakers, he said:

"You have fifteen minutes. Game start!"

The horn soared and immediately the teams started to make their moves.

-Team A-

As soon as they found a good place to hide their flag, Midoriya started to form a plan. Considering his team members, it would be the best to leave Hagakure and Shoji at the base. Shoji could detect the enemy easily and Hagakure's stealth nature would work better at the defense since she didn't have much physical capacity. As for him and Sero, they would act as a first offensive line, taking advantage of the mobility the tape hero and him on Full Cowl had. But the main force would be Yaoyorozu. She didn't have the top skills in combat but that wouldn't be a problem, being the strategist she was. His idea was to attract the attention to him and Sero, giving her plenty of space to find the enemy base, sneak in and steal the flag.

That said, he also had to consider the other team and their components. Sato and Kirishima were bound to be on the offensive, given the nature of their Quirks and their own personalities. As for Ashido and Tsuyu, well, they also had a lot of mobility, so there were some possibilities: they could act as scouts and cover more ground. They could also split and form two equal teams combining strength and agility, but Midoriya bet that they would just run in together while Kaminari's area of effect Quirk acted as a defensive measure. That said, there were also the team of villains, but since they could run into any of them at any time he didn't bother to plan anything now. The greenette shared his thoughts with the team and his mates pretty much agreed with everything, but he expected Yaoyorozu to add some details, or at least make a comment on their strategy, but the girl seemed to be determined in ignoring him. Hagakure herself kept quite a distance while they were inside the building they choose to hide the flag.

Sero and Midoriya were now moving across the city using the roofs to gain view of the area and possibly drag some attention to them. They were doing well and the plan seemed to be working, but maybe too well. All of sudden a sparkling beam of light crossed the air and cut Sero's tape while he was in midair, resulting in him falling and rolling on the rooftop of a building. Midoriya saw that and instantly jumped back to help his partner, but almost got caught in a huge explosion, barely dodging it with a flip while in the air. He ran to Sero and helped him up, then moving quickly to under a water tank. They then heard footsteps and a very known voice.

"I'll make something clear for you Deku. You are not going to get past this point..." said Bakugou as small explosions formed into his hand, his face menacing and with a toothed grin.

"Man, that's really bad. Facing Bakugou right in the start... it couldn't be worse" Sero was about to jump out of the hideout but Midoriya held him.

"Not yet. Somewhere on the right buildings... Aoyama is watching us. He will cut your tapes before you can escape"

"Then what will we do?"

"I'll... I'll think of something..."

-/-

-Team B-

Once they found a good place to hide the flag, team B left to pursue the enemy flag while Kaminari stood at guard, just like Midoriya had predicted. In their heads, having Todoroki and Bakugou as villains was a major problem, enough to discard the idea of going alone. It could be a little bit slower but they wouldn't find much difficulty to get past obstacles, a single and powerful offensive, going straight for the objective. Kirishima wisely added that Midoriya would have predicted that and that they should end it as soon as possible. The team agreed with the redhead, mainly Mina and Tsuyu, but for other reasons. They didn't want to cross paths with the boy right now.

And as the horn soared they started to move, but before they could make any significant progress, like finding the direction of the enemy base, the first obstacle appeared in front of them, a huge iceberg out of nowhere. This was a very bad sign. On top of the cold mountain sitted the half-cold-half-hot teen, Todoroki Shoto, with an amused face.

"Oh, so I met with the Team B first... hmm, maybe I should have insisted and not changed my direction with Bakugou. I bet he found Midoriya already"

Down on the street, the group of students had nervousness plastered on their faces.

"Man, this is bad..."

"Don't worry, Ashido. All we have to do is get past him!"

"Easier said than done, Kirishima-kun"

"A true man never quits a challenge!"

"Except that we are girls, ribbit"

"What matters is what is in your heart!"

"Hey, you are not going to just ignore me, right? I know Todoroki draws attention but I'm here too" Ojiro walked off an alley, surrounding the group of four and taking a fight stance. "Now, I have to work hard or else he will get the spotlight alone"

Standing back to back, team B found themselves in a pinch pretty soon.

"What should we do now?"

"I don't know, Sato-kun. I... We have think of something!"

-/-

-Team A - Yaoyorozu-

She quietly moved around the streets and alleys, looking around every corner before sprinting to the next cover. Yaoyorozu even created pair of binoculars to find the hideout from the distance and she planted tripwires with small rattles as she passed by to prevent a surprise attack from behind. As much as she hated to admit it right now, Midoriya was very ingenious when it came to analyzing the present situation and planning in advance. It didn't passed two minutes and she heard a loud explosion far away, coming from the direction the boys went to. In sequence, she saw with the binoculars a huge iceberg forming. Now she had a lead to the enemy base, but going straight to that way would be counterproductive, as there was a great chance of running into more 'villains' or team B. With that in mind Yaoyorozu decided to make a small detour, but now she could move faster since she knew where she had to go.

Sprinting across the street, she reached a large garage and entered it. Crossing it would be enough to avoid everyone and in a short time. The place was very dark and had lots of crates everywhere, like a maze. She created a small candle, since it was easier that an electric lantern and walked in the maze until she felt something attach to her ankle. Bringing the candle near it, her pupils shrunk as she realized what it was. A small purple sphere, glued to her, and she knew pretty well where it came from, worse, from WHO it came from. And just like that she heard an ominous laugh echoe in the place.

"Hahahahaha, welcome to my web, little ladybug! You are on my hands now, Yaoyorozu!"

"Mineta... I should be worried, but I don't think I really should"

"Hey! I can hear you, you know!"

"I can hear you too, you purple idiot!"

"Jiro-san? She is here too? Why would she team up with Mineta of all options?"

"Shut up, Forever Flat, I'm talking to Yaoyorozu!"

"What? Yaoyorozu-san is here?!"

"That little prick blew up my cover"

"Yaoyorozu-chan, don't move around. The grape head covered the place with his purple thingies!"

"Hey! You just told her my plan!"

"Your stupid plan got me stuck in here too! Stupid!"

"It took a lot of time to think on this plan, okay!"

"Well, just because you are just that dumb. What a poor excuse for a plan!"

"Ha! You are the dumb one because you fell on that completely stupid plan, created by me!"

"Wait, didn't he just called himself stupid?"

It took sometime for him to realize. "Ah! I take back what I said!"

Thought they couldn't see each other, both Yaoyorozu and Jiro face palmed. Yaoyorozu kept walking, taking care with every step while she held the candle near the ground. It was slow but it was progress. She also noticed that Mineta was moving around, given how his voice sounded earlier. She could not afford to let this little pervert get to her, like in the Sports Festival. Still, the chances of ending bumping on him were high. The moment she got stuck on those purple spheres, she would lose.

Being on the edge like that, she got startled when she faced none other than Jiro around a corner, with some spheres glued on her already. Jiro made a signal to keep quiet and plugged one of her jacks on a crate. Yaoyorozu understood what she was thinking and then created something. Jiro unplugged from the crate and then looked at something that was thrown near her foot. It was a small piece of paper, and she found something written on it: I have a plan. Jiro was listening.

-/-

-Team A - Midoriya and Sero-

"GET OUT DEKU! I'M GOING TO BLAST YOU UNTIL YOU CAN'T STAND UP!"

"Geez, he's really aggressive..."

"It could be worse, thrust me"

"So what is the plan now?"

Sero asked while they kept hidden under the water tank. They tested already and if Sero launched a tape to get out, Aoyama would cut it with his Navel Laser. And Bakugou was waiting for Midoriya out the in the open. He wanted to fight but he also doing his job and getting on their way, since Midoriya couldn't get out to take Aoyama and Sero didn't have a chance against the Explosion Quirk user in combat. Unless...

"Sero-san, I have an idea, but it's gonna be risky and we have to act really fast"

"I'm listening..."

And then they got ready to act. Midoriya activated Full Cowl and made a running stance on the ground, while Sero got ready to launch his tape. On the count of three, Midoriya ran from the hiding spot and instantly jumped at Bakugou with his fist ready to strike. Bakugou widened his scary grin as he dodged the attack almost like a bullet with ease. Knowing how stupid Deku was, of course he would come for an direct hit once he got out of options.

In a fluid motion Bakugou twisted on his feet and brought his hand down, exploding the ground and Midoriya away, who only escaped it due to his momentum. Midoriya rolled out and quickly got to his feet, jumping out of the way of another blast punch. Bakugou kept going after him, destroying everything while Midoriya dodged his attacks my inches.

"DEKU! STOP RUNNING AWAY AND DIE ALREADY!"

"As if I would do that!"

"You are even more stupid if you think you can get past me!"

"I don't really need to! Sero-san!"

At that moment Midoriya faked a jump to the side, instead closing the gap between him and Bakugou. The explosive teen reacted to the move in time, but not soon enough as Midoriya managed to hold him by his wrists and shove his arms down right before the explosion, which created a lot of dust. His plan, inspired in Uraraka, was to create enough dust in the roof so Aoyama's vision as blocked. He tested with Sero and he was sure that Aoyama would be in one or two specific buildings, given the angle of the lasers and from the distance that the boy could snipe like that. Using the opening, Sero launched his tapes, but to two different directions. The laser cut one of them while the other glued on another building, and then he used his max strength to retract it, quickly exiting the place and swinging around the building in a low trajectory. Bakugou saw that and jumped to reach the tape hero, but the moment he got his feet out of the ground he had to use his blasts to dodge from Midoriya.

"Smash!" Midoriya barely missed, but he only had to buy some time for Sero so he could keep going with the plan. He planted his hands on the ground and launched a vertical kick, forcing Bakugou to dodge again. Meanwhile, Sero made his way around the buildings, avoiding Aoyama's line of sight. When the blonde teen found his opponent, it was too late. Sero crashed through the window and immediately transformed him into a mummy of tape. The cocoon he made forced Aoyama to stand with his legs near his belly, so that way he wouldn't use his laser to cut the tape.

"Sorry for the awkward position, Aoyama-kun, I'll get you out of it later"

"Okay..." said the tied boy while some tears ran down his always sparkling face.

-/-

-Team B - against Todoroki and Ojiro-

"Do you think this will work, Ashido-san?!" asked Kirishima while he blocked Ojiro's attacks with his hardening Quirk.

"This is the best I could think of!" Ashido had to avoid another geiser of ice. Todoroki wasn't playing, well, at least to them, since the boy had the most calmed face as he sat on top an ice block.

He generated ice faster than her acid could melt, and whenever any of them tried to approach him, a wall of flames sprouted in the path. And to worsen things, Ojiro kept picking them on one-on-one fights, breaking their formation. It was a miracle that she managed to tell the plan without having to scream. Exchanging glances, they put the plan on motion. First Kirishima changed his focus from Ojiro to Todoroki, going straight to the fire and ice teen. The tailed teen went after him but had to deal with Ashido blocking his way. As for Kirishima, he ran past Sato, who grabbed him by the arm and made a power throw with him, sending the redhead like a cannon ball at Todoroki. An ice wall appeared but thanks to Kirishima's Quirk it shattered to pieces. Now in close range, Kirishima had a chance to stop him, but he would still have to deal with the flames. They didn't exactly burn through his hard skin but the heat was too much for him to handle, even with the extra protection his Quirk gave him. Unless...

"Red Riot UNBREAKABLE!"

Todoroki knew it would end bad for him if he let Kirishima stay near him in this state, so he trusted in the strength of his friend and increased the amount of heat and flames he was projecting, completely engulfing him in a giant inferno. But what he didn't expect was to Kirishima to bust out of the flames, his arm stretched for behind, preparing a powerful blow. If he didn't reacted on time and created an ice pillar in between them, he would fly much more than a few meters. Kirishima's punch completely broke through the ice and hit Todoroki, thought with much less force than he intended.

"Seriously, are you sure you guys aren't monster?" Said Todoroki as he got up, still with a smile on his face.

"Says the guy that makes ice mountains out of nowhere and creates an instant hell" Kirishima also had his usual grin, but he seemed tired. In fact, his Quirk was losing effectiveness and his skin became normal again. "Man, I need to work more on my resistance"

"Are you sure you can stop to breathe?"

"Yeah, sure. I did my part"

As he said that the glacier Todoroki created first when he appeared shaked. He looked at it and saw Sato punching through it and opening a hole, then giving way to Tsuyu, who was quick to cross it and leave the place as fast as her legs allowed her.

"Oh, now I understand... but I cannot let you do as you want-"

"You have to face me now!"

Sato ran to Todoroki with his fists ready to punch him, but he reacted quickly by creating another ice wall, but this one was thinner than the last he made.

"Heheh, you seem to be running out of ice, Todoroki-san"

"And what about you, Sato? How many sugar bars have you eaten already?"

"Who knows, tehehe"

Meanwhile, Ashido was still holding Ojiro. She was happy that her plan worked out. Tsuyu was one of the fastest around and the had problems with both the flames and ice of Todoroki, so she had to get out of here first. But for that they would have to distract Todoroki so Sato could break the barrier, and keep Ojiro away at the same time. Luckily for her, Ashido was very athletic and while it didn't exactly compared to his martial arts skills, she was handling him pretty well. The main deal was his tail. Since she couldn't hope to win in power, she wanted to take him down by throwing him out of balance using his own strength, but that damn tail was very useful, and Ojiro refused to meet the floor. Not only that, that tail was also very unpredictable and dangerous. And then another idea popped on her mind. She started to run around him, rather skidding with her acid, barely avoiding the blonde teen's attacks.

"Oi, Ashido-san, stay put, will you? I won't hit too hard" he teased.

"Not gonna happen, mate. I plan to win this!"

As she said that, she launched some drops of acid at Ojiro, who used his tail to jump high and avoid it.

"You have to do better than that if you want to stop me"

"Ha! I already got you where I wanted"

When Ojiro landed he understood what she meant. The floor was covered in a viscous liquid and he fell right before he landed. His tail was useless as a counterweight if he couldn't keep his feet firmly on the ground. He kept slipping on the slime until he felt a sudden weight over him. Ashido had melted a lamp post at the base, making it fall over him. It wasn't very heavy, but without a proper a place to firm his hands and feet, he wasn't going anywhere.

"Well, that was unexpected..."

"Don't worry, I'll get you out of it later". As she said that, something went flying above her head.

Some minutes before, Sero reached the place and saw the confusion. He didn't understand what was really happening but he knew that getting involved in it was a bad idea. He had to get past them without letting them a chance to catch him, so he launched tape on the buildings and took some steps back, making an human slingshot. As the tension on the tape reached the maximum, he jumped up and retracted, flying at high speeds over team B and villains, much to Ashido's surprise.

"Oh no, you are not getting away!"

The pink skinned girl ran after him, changing to slide with her acid to try and catch up with him. Todoroki thought about going after them but he was forced to stay as Sato was now throwing ice blocks at him. He could melt them with his flames, but he knew that the objective was to hold him in place.

"Tsc, I should have ended it sooner, huh?"

-/-

-Team A - Yaoyorozu-

"Mineta! When I find you, you are going to get a beat like you never seen before!" Jiro shouted while Yaoyorozu was kneaded on the floor, busy creating something.

"Would you shut up, please? Now, Yaoyorozu-san~ I bet you are covered with my balls already~ heheh... my balls..."

Jiro felt her eyes twitch. She was beyond angry and the purple annoyance kept with that little game of him. She was also angry with herself because she ended stuck in here. The game started and she just wandered through the place, sure that she would end crossing someone's path. She had decided to use this area in specific because the buildings were closer to each other and she could use her Quirk to detect people nearby, but she entered this garage and when she noticed there were three purple spheres stuck on her clothes. So that was what the tiny pervert was doing...

"Listen up, you midget! You are going to have a bad time! Trust me!"

"Huh? What was that? I cannot hear you under your flat chest!"

"That doesn't make any sense, stupid!" She shouted while plugging one of her jacks on a crate.

"It doesn't have to make sense because you are flat!"

"I'm gonna kill him... I'm sure..."

"As tempting as it sounds, we cannot do that"

"I know, Yaoyorozu-chan. You ready?"

"Ready. Now we need to find the grape head"

"Leave that to me, he keeps running his mouth nonstop"

With that they started to move, careful to avoid the traps Mineta laid around. Every ten steps Jiro used her Quirk to locate the little pervert.

"How can be so many of those things?"

"As soon as we entered Ground Beta he ran away. Guess he found this place and kept throwing those things around"

"Yeah, sure, but there was a limit, right?"

"Ha! And for what do you think my training was? Let me tell you that my limit go doubled, no triplicated!"

"He's making this up, right?"

"Of course, Jiro-chan"

"Hey! I mean it! How many balls do you think are around?"

"Don't know, don't care. All I know is that soon you'll be seeing stars!"

"All talk and no chest. I kind of feel sorry for you sometimes..."

"Keep talking, you won't see what hit you"

"Like you could do anything. Even if Yaoyorozu helped you, there's no way you could find me"

"Oh, is that so?"

"Of course, Yaoyorozu. I mean, it's not like she can see anything in here and..."

"I don't need to see when you can't keep your mouth shut for a damn minute"

Mineta felt a chill run down his spine as he looked up, the heads of Jiro and Yaoyorozu hovering over him. It could be the lack of light, but their faces were pretty scary right now.

"... I-I-I, well, look, I'm sorry I made such a silly trap! I didn't have any hidden intentions behind it or anything!"

Jiro cracked her knuckles while Yaoyorozu snapped what seemed to be a belt. She also had some kind of clothing on her hand. Mineta gulped. He knew he was screwed.

And so, the grape head boy ended with a dizzy head, his ears ringing a bit, tied on a straight jacket upside down and with additional restrains in the form of leather belts tightly wrapped around his small body. And just because he talked shit a lot, he also earned a belt over his mouth. Small tears of regret fell from his eyes, not from having this idea, but from wasting a justificable chance to grope Yaoyorozu.

Outside the garage, the two girls let out a tired sigh of relief. Yaoyorozu took some steps back while she created a staff and took a fight stance, leaving Jiro with a confused face.

"Huh? What are you doing?"

"Well, you are on the hole of villain, right?"

"Oh, that. Well, All Might said that villains do what they want, and I'm not in the mood for that right now, so let's just say you won, okay?"

"What, really?"

"Yeah. Look, I have some things on my head right now, if you know what I'm talking about..."

"Oh, that... if it helps, I don't think HE will be coming over here"

"Oh, that's... nice. Well, you should be going. One thing, don't take the main road, Todoroki is near this place"

"Thanks. See you later"

And while Yaoyorozu resumed her task, Jiro found a place to just lay down, the two of them with a certain green haired boy on their heads.

-/-

-Team A - Midoriya-

Bakugou was mad. He was sure because whenever he got that way his left eye twitched and he kept grinding his teeth. Seriously, one day he would shatter his own teeth, Midoriya always warned him.

"So you want to take a beat so much, huh...?"

"I don't plan to take that option"

"So, in other words, you are saying that you plan to win?"

"Yes, Kachan"

"I'll make you know your place..."

A huge blast propelled Bakugou forward, and a second one made him spin in the air, dealing a great impact on the ground as he missed Midoriya by inches. He kept after him, throwing explosive punches that barely missed the green haired boy. Midoriya was clearly on the defensive, which only made Bakugou even angrier. Did he think he could win by just running away? Well, running away was what Deku did, because he was Deku. Still, that pissed Bakugou off. Deku should just give up and lay dead on the floor.

"DEKU! ARE YOU FUCKING PLAYING WITH ME?!"

"As if I had time for that!"

Midoriya made a fake step and closed in to Bakugou while he threw a punch.

"LIKE IT WOULD WORK TWICE!"

"I know that!"

Midoriya dived under Bakugou, dodging another blast. He planted his hands on the ground and used his Shoot Style to kick Bakugou on his side. Though a strong blow, Bakugou managed to hold it, maybe by sheer rage, and grabbed Midoriya's leg, spinning him and slamming the boy on the floor. Midoriya got up a bit dizzy and Bakugou held him on an arm lock, threatening to explode him on point blank.

"Give up Deku, and maybe I'll let you get out with just scorches"

"You should know that by now, Kachan... GIVING UP IS NOT AN OPTION!"

Midoriya jumped up with Full Cowl, getting both of them high. Then, using his free arm, he got a hold on Bakugou's shirt and twisted them in the air.

"OKLAHOMA SMASH!"

The force of the spin sent Bakugou flying away, crashing on another building while Midoriya landed. With that the Quirk inheritor gave a last glance at his rival before dashing away. He spent more time than he intended in here so he had to get back to the plan quickly.

He ran and jumped through the rooftops, looking around to see if he could find Sero, but he ended spotting someone else, Asui. He didn't think that team B would split in individual lines. That said, and given the distance she travelled, something must have happened to team B similar to him and Sero. So somewhere else team B and or his teammates could be facing the other villains, Todoroki being the first to come to his mind. He had to decide between go after them for support or prevent Asui from finding their hideout. At this rate they would have to deal with Bakugou and or Todoroki, and considering her agility, just defensive measures wouldn't delay the frog girl for long, resulting in them having to recover their flag while facing the villains. By estimative, Yaoyorozu should be near the enemy base, and if luck was at his side, Sero wouldn't be far behind. That said, the members of team B that could handle the half-cold-half-hot teen were Kirishima and Sato, and Tsuyu was right here, leaving Kaminari on the base and Ashido as an unknown variable. Making a detour could help Midoriya to lose Bakugou for longer.

"Alright then"

Tsuyu was running, or jumping, as fast as she could. She saw Sero moving through the building not a minute ago and used the direction he came as a reference to the location of the enemy base. Judging by the way he was going, she decided that speed was more important than discretion right now. But she ended regretting it as a figure covered in sparks bounced from wall to wall, skidding to a halt in front of her. A frown formed on her face, in a way she didn't manage to hide. From all people to appear...

"Sorry, Asui- I mean, Tsuyu-san. I won't let you go past here"

She just stood there, unmoving, no, not completely. She was shaking a little bit, her head down and her hands balled in tight fists. Something was off with her.

"...why you...?"

"Huh... Tsuyu-san... I didn't hear what you-"

"Why it had to be you?"

She looked up and Midoriya was shocked as he was confronted with an expression he had never saw at his friend's face: complete anger.

"Tsuyu-san... w-what's wrong...?"

"Don't call me... that way"

He knew why she was that way. He ignored until now, but it was clear that all the girls were acting differently around him. Of course they would, after what happened. But he wanted to believe that this would get resolved itself with time, or at least that it wouldn't influence on their cooperation as heroes in training. Guess he was wrong. Who he was kidding? What happened couldn't just be ignored like that, but still, Midoriya had hope that his friends would forgive him, eventually.

"...Asui-san... I don't think t-this is the best moment or p-place to discuss this..."

"You are right... but I cannot help it, ribbit. I want to punch you in your face too bad. Ribbit... Ochako-chan... what did you do to her...?"

"I-I said before, it i-isn't like that-"

"What did you do to her?!"

Midoriya stepped back by instinct. Asui wasn't exactly a powerhouse but she was pretty scary right now. And to make things even more 'fun', he was fully aware that he couldn't use his maximum strength like in fight with Bakugou, but holding back would lead him to a bad end. Midoriya had to decide quick what course of action take, because Asui was already on the attack, running around him and searching for an opening. It was probably too late to run now because she would be after him anyway, plus, if he managed to get through the anger, it was an opportunity to clarify his relationship with Uraraka, maybe.

The frog girl jumped to the side, holding on a lamp post and gaining momentum to launch herself at Midoriya, hitting him with both feet and jumping away in sequence. Midoriya defended himself easily, but still got surprised with the amount of strength she had. Maybe he gave Asui an unfair low ball, but the time to consider it was really short because she took impulse and jumped at him again. She kept hitting him and bouncing back, not giving Midoriya any chances to counter. She was fast enough to react and avoid his punches while mid air and she didn't seem to be getting tired.

"Alright, two can play this game"

Now on Full Cowl, he started to jump around, similar to Asui, but going farther with each jump, and lacking precision compared to the frog girl. He could learn a thing or two with her, if she didn't want to beat the life out of him right now. The fight now seemed a pinball game as the two teens leaped around, hitting one another in the air and bouncing back. Asui landed on top of a lamp post and used her tongue to hold Midoriya, predicting where he would land. Midoriya struggled against her, taking care to restrain his strength. In a sudden move Asui let go of the post and recoiled her tongue, flying right at Midoriya and knocking him off balance, but he reacted quickly by planting his hands on the floor and using his Shoot Style to propel his legs up, wrapping them around Asui and throwing her on the ground. Asui got up quickly, but not sooner than Midoriya, who surprised her with a fake punch and held the frog girl in a headlock, his arms passing under hers and his hands clasped together behind her neck. She tried to break free but Midoriya only put more strength.

"Asui-san! Stop just for a minute!"

"Ribbit! Where did you learn this?!"

"Ojiro-san gave me some lessons!"

She kept struggling for a minute, but suddenly stop, letting her body go numb as she released a tired breath.

"... Ribbit, go ahead, do whatever you want"

"What are you talking about? I just wanted to talk"

"... Is this... what you said to her?"

"A-Asui-san! You know I would never do something like this with Uraraka! Trust me, I didn't force neither harm her"

"Midoriya... you had to see it... you had to see the look on her face, ribbit... it was like... she was another person"

"... I... I know she looks kinda different but she's still the same, and so do I"

"Forgive me if I'm sceptic about it. So, will you take me too?"

"W-w-what?! I-I-I didn't even think a-about that!"

"It seems fit for your liking. Am I wrong? Defenseless girls depending on you?"

"... Is this what you think... of me and Uraraka...?"

He never heard the answer because on the next second a loud sound blast hit him and Asui. He let go of Asui to cover his ears and ended receiving a kick on his stomach. The sound ceased and when his head stopped ringing be saw Jiro helping Asui to get up.

"Jiro...san?"

"Are you alright, Tsuyu-chan? Did he do something?"

"I'm alright, but I'll feel better..." she glared up at Midoriya. "...when I hit him straight in the face"

Not only Asui, but Jiro too, looked ready to kill, and Midoriya was the target.

"Shit. I already lost too much time and I didn't even got to explain anything. It seems that everything got worse! I have to leave now. Jiro-san will be hard to deal with"

Deciding to flee instead of fight, Midoriya activated Full Cowl and dashed away. Jiro and Asui went after him, completely ignoring the objective of the training.

-Team B - Sato vs Todoroki-

He should stop taking easy on his classmates. No one in class 1-A was playing around. Sato kept throwing ice blocks and other heavy objects at Todoroki, who had to either dodge or use his flames, but he was starting to get tired of it, mentally and physically. He didn't know that Sato's Sugar Rush had an increase in duration. Not only that, was in the start of the year, Sato would be snoozing already, but the buff teen was surprisingly focused on what he was doing. Todoroki also progressed a lot with his flames and using both powers in conjunction, but still had the problem of relying too much on his Quirk, so prolonged fights were a major difficulty for him. He felt the strain on his body, his ice side with the extremities feeling cold and his fire side aching like light sun burns.

"It is pretty fun, I have to say, but I should end this now"

"Still acting cool, huh? I guess that suits you"

Sato picked up another ice block and tossed it at Todoroki, who launched flames and instantly melted the ice into a cloud. But then from the cloud came a piece of metal, that Todoroki found to be a street sign, swung by Sato. Todoroki created an ice pillar but it didn't came up fast enough so it only reduced the damage. Sato went after him while he bent the street sign in the form of an U. He thought that Todoroki was weak enough to be held in place for some moments, and that would be the end of his part. Kirishima used his Quirk as much as he could until he ran out of stamina. Right now the redhead was resting inside a building. Todoroki was getting up, breathing heavily from the hit to his side. Sato towered over him, ready to bind the teen on the ground, a smirk on his face once he the thought of defeating the prodigy Todoroki Shoto crossed his mind. That smirk faded into a confused face and then complete surprise when he got stuck into an ice pillar.

"Huh?! How?! I thought that you were-"

"Out of ice? Well, I have some problems with relying on my Quirk so much. One way to get around is always having a little bit saved"

"Ah, I thought I would get to act cool defeating you"

"Don't worry, I'm practically out of the game. This ice you are wont break so easy"

"Still... it's freaking cold here... I'm... ~yawn~ feeling kinda... tired..."

"Huh? Hibernation?"

While Todoroki checked the heartbeats of his asleep classmate, a blur passed by above his head, a glimpse of green telling the white and red haired boy who it was. And right after Midoriya, seeming rater frustrated, or maybe angered, came Jiro and Asui, obviously pursuing him. Being quite worn out, Todoroki didn't bother to stop them or ask, neither go after them or Midoriya, thought the last one sounded tempting. He just let himself slide to the ground on the ice block Sato was stuck in. A couple more minutes and he would melt the ice.

-Team A - Sero vs Team B - Ashido-

The tape hero had spotted the pink girl that was after him. He had to admit, he was impressed that she managed to keep up with him. Now, to discover where the base was. He swung himself up, reaching the rooftops and getting out of Ashido's view. As for the pink skinned girl in the street, she skidded to a halt.

"Tsc. Lost him. But he doesn't seem to know where the base is. Still, he's kinda close, better warn Kaminari"

She then ran through an alley and entered a tall building by the backdoor, oblivious to the observer after her. From the rooftop, Sero had his eyes on her since he got there. He also saw someone else from there, none other than Yaoyorozu. He quickly jumped down and made his way to her, telling what he had seen. He also told that Todoroki was near and that Midoriya was holding Bakugou. And so, Yaoyorozu decided to go into that building and try to capture the flag themselves.

They would do it like that: Sero would break in and keep Ashido, and possibly Kaminari occupied while Yaoyorozu searched for the flag. Once she find it, she would create a distraction, give the flag to Sero, and hold the enemies for the longest time she could, leasing her teammate free return to the base. Seemed good enough for a plan, and so they did.

Sero was on the rooftop of a building in front of the one Ashido ran into, and Yaoyorozu was waiting at the corner, ready to enter. On a count of three, the black haired boy jumped and used his tapes to latch on the wall and push him past the window of the third floor, where he had seen the silhouette of who he believed to be Ashido. What he encountered thought was surprising to say the least. A manequim using a wig similar to Ashido's hair. And then, from the shadows, the real deal came out in a flip, like a gymnast, and kicked Sero, making him fall on the ground. The wooden floor broke under his weight, and so did the other floors until he ended on the underground garage. Ashido used her acid to weak the structure in some points, creating a trap. Sero was dizzy but still able to keep going, but he didn't have much time to recover because a bolt of electricity coming from the ground almost got him.

"Hey Sero-san, what took you so long?"

"Kaminari?! So if you're here than this must be the base!"

"Ha! Think again, buddy, we hid it in another place!"

"Kaminari! Don't tell him that!"

Ashido just got through the stairs and ran directly to Kaminari to give him a slap behind his head, then ran again to cut Sero's escape routes.

"Give up man, you are not going anywhere and you are outnumbered"

Sero was desperate, looking back and forth while searching for an opening, and the he looked up the hole he fell into, gaining a smirk on his face after that.

"I think you don't know to count, Kaminari. Who said I was alone?"

"Smash!"

The ceiling above Kaminari revealed Midoriya, his fist breaking through the concrete. Moments ago, Yaoyorozu, who had heard Kaminari talking out loud about the hideout, spotted Midoriya running and called for him, giving the boy a quick explanation of their plan. He quickly understood and prepared to enter on another fight. Now on the underground, Midoriya jumped at Kaminari, grabbing him and tossing the blonde away, while Sero tried to immobilize Ashido, but her acid was melting his tape.

"Midoriya! Change!"

"Right!"

The One For All user jumped at one of the walls and then leapt at Ashido.

"Acid Veil!"

Ashido used her special move and created a wall of acid, but she didn't count with Midoriya's next move.

"Five percent Delaware SMASH!"

The strong wind created by the flick of his finger made the acid wall be blown away, and some ended falling over Ashido. The acid wasn't strong enough to hurt, it only stinged a bit, but could melt clothes with some ease, and it did in the worst way. Ashido's pants melted near her abs, revealing a light pink underwear with small red ribbons on the sides. Both of them froze in place, their eyes never leaving the pink colored piece.

When Midoriya broke the ceiling, he ended breaking some pipes to, so there was some water around. Sero was winning over Kaminari easily because his tape could isolate most of the discharges Kaminari threw at him. Using a tactic suggested by Midoriya, Sero jumped around Kaminari, dodging his attacks with ease and throwing some tape here and there, but never hitting him. He had to say that the blonde had some skills, but not enough to get him.

"Are you going to keep running around? This ain't funny at all, Sero!"

"You're already dead, man" "Hehe, I always wanted to say that".

Sero pulled one of his tapes, starting some kind of chain reaction that pulled all the others, wrapping the electric teen in a cocoon of tape.

"Spider Trap! ... hmm, what do you think about this name?"

"Sounds nice, but it needs to be more flashy"

"Like what?"

"Oh, something like... INDISCRIMINATE DISCHARGE!"

Kaminari let out his max output, sending electricity through the ground. Sero had one of his feet on a puddle of water, and before he could jump away he received the charge, being electrocuted and fainting after, small trails of smoke leaving his uniform and a light smell of burnt tape in the air. As for Kaminari, as expected, his brain went into short-circuit and he just stood there wrapped in tape and with the dumbest face ever.

Back to Midoriya and Ashido, still staring at the former's underwear. Midoriya was the first to react.

"... Uh... I-I-I I'm sorry A-A-Ashido, I d-d-didn't wanted t-t-that to happen-"

"MIDORIYAAAA!"

Panties showing off or not, she went after him like a lioness hunting a gazelle, her hands covered in acid. Midoriya's eyes went big like two dishes, jumping back and barely avoiding being burned by the acid girl.

"RWAA! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU DID THIS! IDIOT! PERVERT! ENEMY OF ALL WOMEN!"

"A-A-Ashido! It wasn't on purpose!"

"Like what you did with Uraraka?! That was an accident too?!"

"No, that was different- oof!"

Midoriya just received a kick from behind that sent him flying at a column. Asui and Jiro had just arrived. He barely got up, a kunay got stuck near his head, completely scaring the boy. He looked up, kind of knowing where that came from, and found Yaoyorozu glaring at him from the hole on the floor above, already creating more dangerous objects. She must have seen the scene from the upper floor since she was the one that gave Sero a signal. He never thought that he would be afraid of hearing his own name.

"Midoriyaaa..."

Neither that amount of menacing auras together.

"I, umm, well, uh... I'm sorry...?"

Let's go back some minutes back in time, more precisely to when Todoroki and Sato were fighting. Like Sato said, he was keeping Todoroki occupied, and with that opportunity, Kirishima started to run as soon as his body recovered some energy. He probably couldn't use his Quirk normally, but he was still able to move. As he ran around the streets, he heard the sound of explosions in the distance.

"Bakugou!"

Soon he met with the explosive teen, who ran to him and grabbed his uniform while shouting.

"Hard Head! Where's Deku?!"

"Midoriya? I didn't see him but I bet he's probably reaching our base by now"

"Where's it at?!"

"Huh?"

"The fucking base! Where?!"

"This way, the small store in the middle of two tall garages"

Bakugou let go of him an ran into the direction Kirishima pointed, but before he left, he called Kirishima.

"Hard Head! There!"

"Huh? What?"

"Are you fucking stupid?! The flag is there!" Bakugou pointed the direction and Kirishima saw a column of smoke not too far away. "Make sure you get it. Shitty Deku won't win nothing today" he said that and took off using his explosions to propel himself.

"Huh, so this is your way to help... alright, can't throw that favor in the trash!"

Kirishima followed the smoke and when he got closer, he couldn't help but feel a little bit nervous. There was this huge hole on the side of a store and he could see Shoji moving rocks around, as if he was looking for something. And then he heard an known voice.

"Shoji-san! I found the flag!"

Both Shoji and Kirishima looked at the blue uniform jumping up and down while a small green ball, the 'flag', hovered above it. At that moment Shoji noticed Kirishima and they changed a glance before the six-ams teen turned back to his invisible teammate.

"Hagakure! Get out of here!"

"Eh...? Eeehhh!?"

She also saw Kirishima, already running after her. Shoji stood on the red head's way to buy Hagakure some time.

"Going somewhere?"

"Yeah, I have a flag to capture and a game to win, so I have to go now"

"Only over me, buddy!"

"Sure! That's how a man do things!"

Kirishima was aware that it would be hard to get past Shoji without his Quirk, so he had to think of something. The extra limbs were pretty hard to deal with.

Shoji was also kinda tired. Out of nowhere Bakugou appeared blasting everything and shouting Midoriya's name and a selection of foul words, most of them referencing the green haired boy. The flag got lost in the middle of the rubble and he shielded Hagakure from an secondary explosion caused by a small gas cylinder. The explosive teen just left then after not finding Midoriya. They had to change the location of the hideout because it was practically no more, but first they had to find the flag. And right when Hagakure found it, Kirishima found them.

They were in a stall, exchanging some punches here and there, but without a sign of making the other back off. It was at that moment that Kirishima decided to try something different.

"Ashido! Tsuyu! Go after Hagakure! I'll hold Shoji here!"

Shoji heard that and thought for a moment. Kirishima arrived here alone, but if Midoriya was right about the moves of team B, the rest of them should be near, but he wasn't detecting no one on his radar. Suddenly he heard the sound of something around the corner of the store and looked at it. On that split second, Kirishima dived under Shoji, holding his legs and lifting up quickly, sending the dupli-ams boy to the ground. Kirishima faked that his team was around and tossed a rock at the corner, hoping to distract his living radar friend. Not a very manly way to get past Shoji, but that would do. Now, to go after Hagakure. When Kirishima stepped out of what was left of that store, he saw Hagakure, rather her clothes, not much far in the middle of the street. Shoji also got out of the store and his eyes went wide when they laid on the floating uniform.

"Hagakure! You should be running right now!"

"Whah! I thought you could beat him!"

"Hagakure, stay right where you are!"

Both Kirishima and Shoji started to run after the invisible girl, who panicked and also ran away. Kirishima was slightly faster than Shoji and practically equal to Hagakure, so the dupli-ams teen was slowly falling behind while the redhead and invisible girl kept a constant distance.

Hagakure kept running aimlessly with Kirishima hot on her heels and Shoji managing to keep up, when the trio ended on the road where Todoroki, Sato and Ojiro, still stuck in the slippery trap. She immediately made a turn to avoid them and went through the alleys and passages between the buildings, deciding to use her 'tactical advantage': getting her clothes off. And guess where she ended? Near the base of team B, where right now a bunch of possessed girls were trying to put their hands on none other than Midoriya Izuku.

Midoriya had to exit the underground floor he was since there was no space at all for him to move, and now it was an open fight between him and the angry ladies. Well, 'fight' in a way because he was basically dodging punches, kicks, sharp objects and loud sound waves, and he didn't knew for how much longer he could keep up with it. And to worsen things he didn't have a single idea of where the enemy flag was since the last hideout was a fake. He didn't thought about that. The time was running and he was sure that he wouldn't make it to their base, even if he had the flag right now, that is, IF these girls ever gave him a chance to run away. He had to gain some space and think, so he managed to bounce Asui back when she tried to kick him, sending her flying at Kyoka's direction, stopping her from using her Quirk with the frog girl in her line of shoot. A quick grab on Ashido's arm and he made that toss move he used on Bakugou, only applying less strength. With that he easily jumped away from Yaoyorozu and her staff, but by the work of the forces of the universe (also known as plot), he landed on the wrong place, knocking into something and falling face first on the floor. Or did he?

Midoriya wasn't touching the floor. There was a clear space between his body and the street. Also, he felt a strange warm and soft feeling on his face.

"Wait? Soft?". He questioned himself as he rested his hand on the mysterious object, lightly squeezing it.

"Midoriya..."

Then it hit him.

"Shit!" "Shit!"

The boy, now red as a tomato, got up as fast as he could and tried to find where was Hagakure's hand to help her get up, already running his mouth on a stream of apologies, but he got cut out, with a loud sound.

Even though he knew she was invisible, Midoriya didn't dare to look at Hagakure. His right cheek was hot and with a red mark of a small hand. The slap didn't even compare to the several powerful punches he received until now, but that surely shook his entire structure, his very being. And to add even more wood on the fire, rather a tank of gasoline, he could sense, and I mean sense in a literal way, the menacing presences of the four other girls that were after him not a minute ago.

"This is the end... isn't it?"

"DEEEKUUUUU!"

The sound of that very known voice, screaming what once was the thorn on his life, that cruel nickname, got Midoriya back to the real world, and almost instantly he activated Full Cowl and jumped away, avoiding the meteor slam that was Bakugou landing, grabbing Hagakure by instinct in the process. He earned another loud slap, now on the left side of his face, while the invisible girl flailed on his arms to get away from him. He carefully put her on the ground and turned around to face his rival again, coming out of the crater he created, a glare full of rage focused straight at him. So it was either dealing with the five girls that wanted to flail him alive, of face Kachan on rage mode. It was really clear for Midoriya.

"Come on, Kachan!"

"DIE!"

Bakugou went straight towards Midoriya and caused an explosion so big it brought half of the store that was behind Midoriya, who evaded the damage by jumping as high as he could. That moved had a price because now he was falling straight down and he had no way to evade from Bakugou's next attack, as he lifted his hands to 'blast Midoriya into oblivion', as the angered teen would say. But surprisingly, Midoriya was saved by Asui, who used her tongue to hold him and pull him away from Bakugou still in the air. Help wasn't the best word because as he landed, and he landed face first, he almost got struck in the head by Yaoyorozu's staff. He quickly got up and took some distance from the group of girls.

"HEY YOU BUNCH OF STUPID GIRLS! STAY OUT OF MY WAY!"

Bakugou shouted already running after Midoriya, who was also running around to avoid getting harmed. Seriously, everyone here wanted to cause damage to his person. Well, not everyone as Kirishima was on the store Bakugou destroyed, lifting the debris and digging while he looked for something.

"Shit! The flag was around here, right?"

Shoji was distant from the mess but his Quirk allowed him to get this precious piece of information and decided to act. Once Kirishima found the flag, Shoji snuck up behind him and grabbed him by his legs, flipping the redhead over and catching the enemy flag.

"Shit! Using my own trick?!"and

"Midoriya! I got it!"

"Shoji-san!"

"WHERE YOU ARE LOOKING AT, DEKU!"

This time Midoriya received a direct hit that sent him flying onto a mailbox, completely crushing it. Bakugou rocket jumped while he was in the air and gave him one of his explosive punches, but he wasn't done yet. Bakugou was ready to launch a true inferno blast towards the recovering Midoriya, and he would have knocked the green haired boy out cold if it wasn't for Shoji holding his arms up, making the attack miss.

"Midoriya! Catch this!"

Shoji created an extra hand and passed the 'flag' to Midoriya, who somehow managed to grab it and run away, understanding what Shoji had in mind. Bakugou released his arms and spun a kick at the tall teen, who managed not only to endure, but hold him like that. Kirishima was already up and running after Midoriya, when he spotted the team A flag floating near Ashido and Asui.

"Ashido! Tsuyu! Get the flag! We win if we bring it to the base!"

They didn't listen, going after Midoriya, who activated Full Cowl once more, wincing as his body ached from the blows he received.

"No! The other one! In Hagakure's hand!"

Asui barely missed wrapping Midoriya with her tongue, as he jumped in the last second. Bakugou freed himself and rocket jumped at the green haired teen ready blast him. Kirishima was about to reach Hagakure. And then the horn finally sounded.

"Game set! Team A wins by having the enemy flag at the end of the time!"

Kirishima even tripped over and fell on the ground. So close...

Bakugou landed and immediately started to shout to the air as usual.

Midoriya stopped running and released a tired breath. Finally some peace- not! Poor Midoriya received a tackle from behind that brought him to the ground, and after that a pile of girls formed on his back, every single one of them wanting to tear his limbs apart as they held him. He had to resort to his Quirk once again to get up and move, very very slowly. It took Kirishima, Shoji, slightly burnt Sero and Todoroki to free the boy from the grasp of his pursuers. By now Midoriya had scratches and bruises all over his body, but his bones were intact, so that kind of counted as a minor damage.

The reason for All Might not doing a single thing once things went haywire was because he had to leave and take a medicine that helped him to not cough blood all the time, but he forgot it at the teacher's room. Instead, Tokoyami, Iida, Uraraka and Koji stood there, watching the fights and the hunt at the end of the game, too shocked to say anything. Somewhere in the town, Aoyama finally broke out of his prison, focusing his laser in a very thin line that passed by the little space between his legs, without cutting them. He was very proud of his feat. Mineta was still hung up, still crying and still regretting the lost opportunity.

The other match went on much better, with both teams focusing on capturing the flags of each other during the entire time. The villains of the last game and the four that stood at the monitoring room were split into: team C, Bakugou, Iida, Uraraka, Mineta and Aoyama; team D, Todoroki, Jiro, Tokoyami, Koji and Ojiro; The ones that stood out this time were Midoriya, Ashido, Hagakure and Sato, due to the after effect of his Quirk. No need to say that Midoriya stood as far as he could from the girls.

The match ended in victory to team C, having more mobility with Iida on the team and a strong offensive in the form of furious Bakugou to counter 'Todoroki the ice fortress', thought Tokoyami almost pulled a trick on team C and got the flag. It was a very balanced match in fact.

After being dismissed by All Might and half asleep Aizawa, they went to the bathroom to take a well deserved shower.

Midoriya was the first to enter and the first to leave, rushing to the dorms before certain people could get to him. The boy went straight to his room, locked the door and flopped on his bed, eventually falling asleep. He only woke up when he heard a knock on the door and soft and low voice that he knew very well.

"Deku-kun... is everything alright? You have been in your room since the special class ended"

How much time he had been sleeping? It felt that it was just minutes, half an hour at the best. He slowly got up and walked to the door, hesitated for a bit, and then unlocked and opened it, giving view of Uraraka, who had worried eyes and a small smile on her face.

"Can I come in?"

"Oh, sure"

He opened the door more and moved so she could enter. She sat on his bed as he closed the door and then sat at her side, keeping at least the distance of an arm between them. The brunette pouted a bit because of this, but let that slide, getting just a little closer to her boyfriend.

"~yawn~ How long I have been sleeping?"

"Well, it's already dark outside and you lost lunch and dinner"

"Oh man, I didn't plan to drop dead like that" Midoriya said as he looked outside, the moon already high in the sky.

"I thought you would feel hungry, so I saved some for you. Here, we had meat and potato stew today"

She handed him a small box wrapped in a pink tissue. Midoriya untied it and opened the box, revealing the stew and a big portion of rice, still letting out some vapor.

"It's still warm..."

"Well, actually, I heated it again on the microwave. Hope you don't mind..."

His belly made a deep and loud noise, that soon lead to a small laugh between the two and a big blush on Midoriya's face.

"Not at all, hehehe..."

Midoriya ate quietly, enjoying the food Uraraka brought to him. It wasn't exactly the legendary home made meal prepared by a girl, but she cared about his well being, so it kind of counted as one, at least for him. That said, there was the huge and awkward silence between the two while Midoriya was eating. They never got silent when they were together, be it at the lunch break, on the class, and when they were alone...

That lead them to address the elephant in the room, the fact that every girl on the class wanted him as good as dead, at least metaphorically. Midoriya gave Uraraka the now empty box, thanking for the food and stood another long minute silent, looking at his carpet like it was the most interesting thing around, until he gave up.

Letting out a sigh and holding his head on his hands as he loomed down, he finally spoke.

"I... I messed up, Uraraka. I messed up really bad"

"What? No, Deku-kun. What happened wasn't-"

"Yes. Yes it was my fault. I... I should have thought about it better. I mean, it's not that I don't like you, or that I don't en-enjoy what we d-do together... but they're right. There's a right way to do things, right...?"

"Deku-kun, I told them already, and I'll tell again if I need. I did what I did 'cause I wanted to. In the end, I'm the one to blame"

"No, no, I'm not saying that you are guilty of nothing. It's just that..."

"Go on, tell me"

"It's just that... you, I mean, since you first came to me... y-you seemed a little d-d-different, and I think that if I had said s-something... maybe if I said n-no... you wouldn't..."

"I wouldn't what? Be so crazy over you?"

Midoriya didn't find in him the strength to voice his answer, instead nodding quietly with an ashamed face. Uraraka looked at her love, always taking the weight of the world on his shoulders. She scooted closer to him and put her arm around his neck, bringing him closer.

"Is this what you think... or what the girls told you?"

"Well... it does make sense... in a way..."

"Hey... look, I told you before that I fell for you on the act, didn't I? If you want to blame yourself, then it should be for being so darn cute and having this toned body~"

"...hehe..."

"Oh? Did I just heard laugh?"

"What...? No, I-"

"Oh, look, look. I see a smile forming~"

"Uraraka, this is serious"

"You say that but you are barely holding your smile"

"No, I'm not- whah! S-stop! S-s-stop tickling! Stop t-tickling me!"

"But you look so beautiful when you laugh! I can't get enough of it!"

"N-no hahaha, I'm- I'm serious hahahaha. Someone's gonna hahaha, hear us!"

"Let them hear us! They should know we are happy! Am I right or not?"

"Y-yeah haha, sure hihihi, just give me ahahahaha, a moment!"

She let go of the boy and let him catch his breath, even wiping away a tear on the corner of his eye.

"Feeling better?"

"Sure, hehe"

"Still think we should not be together? Or that you can harm me any possible or impossible way?"

"Well I... no. But I still think that we kinda crossed a line here"

"I know that. I felt so bad when I started to have those... lewd thoughts about you. It consumed me, but the more I tried to forget it, more you looked attractive to me. It may be because you always work out, but you get my drift"

"So..."

"So you are not to blame for looking good. I lost myself, yes, but that's not your fault. It's only normal to react the way you did on the first time, rather, your reaction could be considered above the average"

"R-really?"

"Sure. I don't have past experience but I always heard that guys would always put their own pleasure above their partners, but you kept caring for me, even if you felt nervous and uncomfortable. That's just who you are, I guess"

"And what about what they said? That you... changed..."

"We never truly know a person until you spend a long and meaningful time with them. They are really good friends with me, but you know me better than anyone by now. The Uraraka they used to see is still here. They just found out a new trait of me that they are not used to"

"Umm... have you always been, you know... into this thing of s-s-s..."

"Sucking dicks and playing with myself? No. I 'found the wonders' of those after I realised I was head over heels for you. Talk about a turn in the life"

"Oh, I see..."

"And you, Deku-kun? Did you used to have hot dreams with Midnight?"

"What?! No! I never t-t-thought about s-s-s-something like that!"

"Hahahaha, I know silly! You are just too pure! But seriously, did you ever jerk one to me?"

"Will you always be so straight forward like that? N-not that I complaining, it's just so I can get used to it..."

"Hmm... only when we are alone. You can say I'm kind of a closet pervert"

"Are you sure this is the best way to define yourself?"

"It's either that or yandere. Hmm, do you want me to tie you up and spank you?~"

"I-I-I think you got the wrong idea of what a yandere is..."

"Oho? Really? Then, would you care to explain to me...?"

"I'd rather not, hehe..."

Uraraka was already on top of Midoriya, acting seductive and dangerously close to him in places that they shouldn't be. Just to tease the boy a bit, she pressed her breasts on his chest, making him go red, and planted a kissed him for a moment, before running her right hand on his curly hair.

"I'll talk to the girls later, get things cleared up"

"That... didn't go too well when I tried today. And didn't they talk to you before?"

"People tend to not listen much when they are mad at something. I was mad yesterday. Just wait for them to calm down and they'll understand. I've got this, okay?"

"Okay. I trust you'll find a way"

"Hmm..."

"What?"

"You are so sweet, Izuku. Wanna go one round real quick?"

"As... tempting as the idea and you look, you clearly much more, we should keep it low for some time. You know, until we sort this out"

"Yeah, you are right, as usual"

"Then..."

"Then...?"

"T-then we could, you know, catch up the lost time..."

"I'll look forward to it~"

After a quick peck on his lips, Uraraka got up, reached for the lunchbox and waved at him as she left Midoriya's room. As for the teen, he now felt much less troubled and conflicted, like a huge weight was removed from him. This was just a part of Uraraka that no one knew about. No one beside him. That made Midoriya feel special. They shared something that he could say was unique for them, and he loved the thought that he knew Uraraka better than anyone, what made her happy, what she disliked... what spots were more sensitive, the face she did when she was hot...

"Wait, wait! Don't overthink about it. You're going to give yourself an endless turn on"

While Midoriya focused on pure thoughts, Uraraka, now on her bedroom, laying on her bed, was planning on how to approach her friends with the matter that she loved Deku-kun and she had this 'forward' side of her all the time.

"Hmm, I heard that the best way to convince someone is having them to try it themselves... well, not literally in this case, maybe"

A suspicious smile formed on Uraraka's lips, as she planned on how to give her friends a new way of looking at her dear Deku-kun.
