"Now that Midoriya, Ryu and Y/N are back, we'll go into more detail about the work studies." Aizawa said as he turned towards the door. "Please come in." He said as you grew a confused face and the door opened. "We'll have people who experienced first hand tell you about how these are different from the internships. Listen carefully." He said as you stared closely to the three people who walked into your class.

"Now who the hell are these schmucks?" Ryu wondered while glaring at them.

"The three third years at U.A. who stand at the top of all U.A. students--Also known as the Big Three." Aizawa introduced them as they stood in front of your class.

"The Big Three..." Midoriya muttered while staring at them in amazement while you felt antsy.

"The top of all U.A. students...The Big Three..." Kirishima muttered in slight awe.

"Big Three!" Mina shouted in excitement.

"The crown among the splendid U.A. students..." Iida muttered.

"The ones closest to pro heroes among us..." Momo said while stared on.

"I heard that they're the ones were supposed to be like..." Jiro commented.

"There's someone really pretty, too...They don't seem like it." Kaminari said in disbelief.

"Target acquired!" Mineta thought as he stared the female member of the Big Three down, checking out her physique. "Acquired, acquired, acquired, acquired, acquired, acquired..." He thought while drooling in awe of her.

"That person..." Midoriya muttered to himself as he remembered seeing the blonde, toned male when he was taking out the trash yesterday. "He was from back then...I only saw his face then, so I didn't realize, but now I remember! At the sports festival, I watched on TV last year...He didn't rank very well, but he left a strange impression. If I remember correctly, the two next to him didn't rank near the top either, but they're the U.A. Big Three, huh...?" He thought as he gulped down some air. "I wonder what kind of heroes they are..." He wondered while staring at them.

"Okay, can you please introduce yourselves briefly?" Aizawa asked them. "Let's start with Amajiki." He said as the boy with messy purple hair suddenly shot a strange glare at you all the made you uncomfortable.

"What's with that look!?" Kirishima thought as he felt a shiver run down his spine.

"All that intensity from just one glance!" Iida thought in slight nervousness, meanwhile Amajiki stared at everyone and was seeing...all of you...with potatoes for heads....

"It's no good." Amajiki muttered while quivering as his acquaintances looked at him in confusion. "Mirio, Hado...Even if I look out on them imagining they're potatoes, everything other than their heads remain human. I still can't see them as anything but human. What should I do? I can't...say anything..." He spoke lowly as you were all confused. "My mind's...blank...I can't..." He suddenly turned away to face the wall away from everyone. "I want to go home...!" He whimpered.

"Huh!?" Everyone gasped in a weird and shocked expression.

"Um, you are the top of U.A's hero course, right?" Ojiro asked them to confirm.

"Oh, listen, Amajiki! That's called having the heart of a flea! Even though you're human! It's so strange!" Hado said before turning towards you all with a smile and pointing to Amajiki. "This is the flea, Tamaki Amajiki. And then, I'm Nejire Hado. We were asked to talk to you guys about work studies. But wait..." Suddenly, she went up to Shoji's desk and pointed at her face while asking a question. "Hey, hey, why are you wearing a mask? Are you sick? Trying to look cool?" She asked while getting uncomfortably close to him.

"This is because in the past..." He trailed off as she suddenly perked up.

"Oh, my! You must be Todoroki, right? Right? How did you get burned right there?" She asked rapidly.

"That's..." Todoroki couldn't get a word in as she jumped over to Mina.

"Ashido-san, if your horns break off, will new ones grow in? Can you move them? Well?" She asked as Mina reached for her horns and didn't know how to answer her question as Hado turned towards Mineta. "Mineta-kun, are those balls of yours hair? How do you get a haircut?" She asked.

"B-Balls...!?" He wondered in shock.

"Asui-san, you're a tree frog, right--not a toad, right? There's so much I want to know about all of you! It's so strange!" Hado was bouncing around in her place like a little school girl.

"She's got the natural airhead thing going! It's cute." Kaminari said in bliss.

"She's like a kindergartner..." Mina said as well.

"She wants to know about my balls? Wait a minute, that sexual harassment, you know!" Mineta said as Momo stared at him in disgusting disbelief along with you and the few around you.

"That's not what she meant." Sero said as you knocked him out for his perviness and returned to your seat.

"Hey, hey, Ojiro-kun, can you support your whole body with your tail?" Hado asked him.

"U-Um..." He stuttered as she got closer.

"Hey, hey, tell me! I wanna know!" She begged as Aizawa was getting impatient and glared at Mirio.

"Isn't this lacking rationality?" He asked as Mirio suddenly gasped and waved him off.

"Don't worry, Eraser Head! I'm going last to wrap things up, right?" He said while waving a thumbs-up around before taking the podium. "The future's gonna be...?" He asked you all as none of you had an answer and stared at him weirdly.

"What the hell are you on about?" Ryu asked while getting impatient as well.

"Gonna be what?" Kaminari muttered.

"Grim! That's what you were s'posed to say, right? All right, my call-and-response was a huge fail!" He suddenly said while laughing at himself.

"All three of them are weird. Even though they're called The Big Three, it's like..." Sato trailed off not knowing how to put his words together.

"You can't feel it in their personalities." Tokoyami finished for him.

"Well, you guys look like you're not sure what's going on, right? We're third years who suddenly appeared to explain about work studies that aren't even required. That's confusing, right?" Mirio asked as he put his hand to his chin to think. "You guys got your provisional licenses as first years, right? This year's first years are really...energetic, right? Besides, it looked like my jokes didn't work earlier, right?" He said as Hado and Amajiki stared at him.

"Mirio?" Amajiki called him when he suddenly announced something.

"Why don't you all fight me at once?" He announced as everyone was confused.

"Wh...What!?" Everyone except you and Ryu gasped as you both grinned.

"Fight you...? Out of the blue?" Kirishima said in shock.

"It's the most rational to have you all experience our experience firsthand, right? How about it, Eraser Head?" Mirio asked for approval.

"Do what you want." Aizawa said.

After being approved, you all moved to Gym Gamma and were in your P.E. clothes as your class was all facing Mirio who was at the other end from where you stood.

"Um... Are you serious?" Sero asked while Mirio was stretching and his friends were stood off to the side.

"Totally serious." He replied back to them.

"Mirio, you probably shouldn't." Amajiki's words could barely be heard as he was farther than anyone.

"He's so far!" Mineta commented.

"For the work studies, it would've been enough for us to say, "This is how it was, and I learned a lot from it." Not everyone is filled to the brim with ambition. We can't end up with kids who are unable to recover after this." He said as you all stared at him.

"Huh?" Mineta said in confusion.

"What does he mean by "unable to recover"...?" Kirishima asked.

"Oh, listen! Did you know? In the past there was a student who got so frustrated the student quit being a hero, and that caused all sorts of problems. Did you know that?" Hado explained while playing with Mina's horns and making her blush. "It's tough, isn't it, Togata? If you don't think things through properly, this'll be rough. Really rough." She said.

"Please stop." Mina whimpered while being more flustered.

"Please wait." Tokoyami spoke up. "There's a handicap in place, but we've fought the pros before." He said as Kirishima stepped forward.

"And we've fought villains before, too. Do we look like such weak small fry to you that you need to worry about us?" Kirishima asked.

"Right, you can come at me anytime, from anywhere. Who's first?" He asked in a cocky tone.

"Onii-chan...I wanna punch him in the face..." 21 said in irritation.

"Same here. I'll wipe that smirk off his face." You said with a grin.

"Not before I get my shot at him, Y/N." Ryu said while cracking his neck.

"I'll...!" Kirishima was going to go first, but got interrupted.

"Here I come!" Midoriya said while stepping forward.

"Unexpectedly, it's Midoriya!?" Kirshima shouted as everyone got prepared to fight while you, Ryu, and 21 stood back to observe as well.

"This is a good chance for all of you. Make sure to get the most out of this experience!" Aizawa said to you all from the sidelines.

"Problem child! That's good! You're really are energetic!" Mirio said to him.

"The person at the top of U.A. If I'm going to spar with someone, this is the best I could ask for! The top of U.A. and the me now. What's the distance between us?" Midoriya wondered while getting into his stance and activating his quirk as green sparks flew off him a bit.

"The close combat team should surround him all at once!" Sato recommended.

"All right!" Kirishima said while hardening his arms. "Well then, sir, thanks for showing us this kindness. I look forward to your teaching!" He yelled as the close combat fighters advanced towards him.

What happened next shocked everyone and you gasped as you covered 21's eyes quickly as Mirio's clothes suddenly slipped off him completely.

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!" Jiro screamed while covering her eyes to hide them from the atrocity she was about to witness.

"YOUR CLOTHES FELL OF JUST NOW!" Sero yelled in shock.

"Oh, excuse me. The fine-tuning's tricky." Mirio said while slipping his pants back on, but Midoriya relented and pushed forward.

"You're full...of openings!" He swung his leg towards Mirio, but it suddenly phased through his face as he slid behind him. "As I thought, he's a quirk that let's him slip through things! It's an amazing quirk. What should I do!?" He wondered.

"You went for the face, huh?" Mirio asked as Aoyama's naval beam, Mina's acid, and Sero's tape all went through his face as well as there was an explosion when the attacks hit the rocks in the center.

"Wait!" Iida called out as they stopped and the smoke revealed he was gone. "He's gone!" He yelled as Mirio suddenly popped up behind Jiro naked again.

"I'll start with the long-distance fighters!" Mirio said cheerfully.

"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" Jiro screamed loudly in shock of the sight in front of her.

"He warped?" Shoji asked in shock.

"His power isn't just slipping through things?" Sato yelled while the close combat fighters tried to make it to the back line.

"What kind of strong quirk is that!?" Kirishima yelled.

"That's not it. Mirio's quirk isn't one to be jealous of." Amajiki muttered as Mirio dodged Tokoyami's attack and punched in the stomach, knocking him down. "What you should be jealous of is his skill, first-year boy." He spoke lowly as Mirio knocked down Mineta and Sero. "After he was scouted and worked hard at his work study with a certain hero, Mirio was built up." He thought while seeing Mirio knock down Tsu, Aoyama, Mina, Momo, Jiro, Shoji, and Kaminari.

"Power!" He yelled while throwing on his pants in front of his knocked down opponents and everyone was shocked at his feats.

"Mirio Togata...As far as I know, he's the man closest to being number one...including the pros." Aizawa commented as you glared at him.

"He got more than half of them in an instant...He's the man closest to being number one..." Todoroki trailed off while watching.

"You're not going? It's not like you aren't interested in being number one, right?" Aizawa asked him.

"I didn't get my provisional license, so..." He said while looking at him as Aizawa looked away.

"You've calmed down, huh?" Aizawa thought while continuing to watch.

"That's it for the long-distance fighters. All that's left are the ones who focus on close combat, right?" Mirio asked while facing them down.

"I have no idea what he just did!" Kirishima said in shock.

"He's strong enough being able to slip through things, but he can even warp?" Uraraka said while on guard.

"Doesn't that make him unrivaled?" Ojiro asked while Mirio took another stance towards them.

"Aw, stop that!" He said in flattery.

"Unrivaled, huh? I can guess your levels with that one word. For example, like how an ordinary person can't tell what's so amazing watching a pro's technique, if you can't tell how much hard work Mirio has put in, then you won't even be able to retaliate." Amajiki thought to himself.

"I think there's some kind of trick here!" Midoriya announced to his allies. "Whether he's applying his "slipping" power to warp, or applying his warp power to slip through things, he's attacking us directly, so as long as we go for the counter, there should be times when we can touch him! If we can tell what he's doing, then we should figure out assumptions with what we do know, and do whatever we can to find a way to win!" He said to them.

"All right, thanks!" Kirishima praised Midoriya. "Midoriya right after the house arrest is amazing!" He yelled as Mirio dashed forward.

"Then come and try to figure it out!" He yelled as he dashed forward and everyone stared at him before he slipped into the ground and left his pants behind again.

"He went under!" Sato yelled.

"He'll probably come up..." Midoriya turned around as he saw him pop up behind him. "...here!" He powered up and turned to try and counter.

"He wasn't reacting. He predicted that I would come up here?!" Mirio thought in surprise before phasing his arm through Midoriya's leg and pushing towards his face. "But here's an ultimate move--Blind Touch Eyeball Crush!" He yelled as Midoriya closed his eyes and his arm phased through his face before he flipped under Midoriya and pulled out his arm while punching him in the stomach, knocking him down as well. "Most people try to launch a counterattack like that, right? So then, of course, I'll train to go after those guys!" He yelled while going back under.

"Midoriya-kun!" Iida yelled before getting knocked down by Mirio who moved at remarkable speeds and knocked him down as well.

"Damn it!" Kirshima yelled as he couldn't keep up and got knocked down as well.

After that, Mirio went in order, from Koji, then Sato, Ojiro, Uraraka and Toru, before standing up tall as everyone in your class was down.

"Power!" He yelled while posing in front of everyone.

"You know, about Togata...Hey, hey, listen to this--Togata's gotten stronger, hasn't he?" Hado asked Amajiki.

"Mirio's been strong every since we were kids. It's just...he should learn to hold back." He replied as your class was coughing and groaning.

Play Song At Top

"Hey..." Everyone looked up when they heard your voice as you stepped forward and pointed to yourself. "You got a chance to take them on. Now why don't you try knocking me down?" You said as Mirio smiled.

"The other problem child! You seem to have more energy than the others! That's good!" He said while turning towards you.

"Y/N-kun..." Midoriya muttered while getting to his knees.

"This is bad...we should move..." Kirishima said while crawling away.

"Damn it! Of course he'd win the coin flip!" Ryu yelled in anger as you won the wager of who would fight Mirio.

"What does it matter? It'll be the same result." Amajiki muttered as Ryu scoffed.

"Hmph, don't be ridiculous." He said as Hado and him stared at Ryu. "He's not just another fighter..." He trailed off.

Mirio dashed towards you and went under as you stood still with a grin on your face. He popped up behind you and was confused but pushed on.

"He's not reacting?" He wondered.

Just as he was going to strike you, a huge force blew from your body was everyone was blown back including Mirio as the third years stared in shock.

"What was that?" Amajiki asked.

"That..." Ryu started as he glared at you while you grinned.

"HYAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!" You yelled as your hair changed and your power increased.

"Wh-What the..." Mirio backed off a bit while slipping on his pants.

"Amazing....Hey, hey, listen. You can feel that force from here, right?" Hado said as Amajiki stared in awe.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Your power blew the everyone away and make the ground around you rise up and crack as your light shined bright and blinded everyone. As the light dimmed down, Mirio uncovered his eyes and stared at you as you grinned back at him.

"That is Y/N's power..." Ryu said while glaring at you.

"All right, I want you to come at me with everything you've got. Don't hold anything back." You said to him.

"Of course. I'll give you everything I've got." He said while staring at you and taking on a stance.

"Something isn't right..." Momo muttered as everyone turned towards her. "Y/N isn't acting like himself...He's acting weird..." She said.

"Yeah...He seems like he's already won the battle." Sato agreed.

"If he's not careful...something bad might happen..." Mina said while staring at you.

Mirio dashed forward and shot towards you while you raised your hand up to show him a block. His arm phased through you and he went for your face like he did to Midoriya. 

"Blind Touch Eyeball  Crush!" He yelled as his hand went towards your face.

What shocked him though was that you didn't shut your eyes and grinned as his arm unphased through you and you managed to get a punch on his stomach that pushed force through him as he spat up.

"He hit him!" Kirishima yelled as Mirio slid back and threw his pants on while wiping some spit that came up.

"Hey, why didn't you dodge or close your eyes? You could've gone blind!" He yelled at you.

"I took a gamble." You grinned as he and everyone else was shocked. "I knew wouldn't have the guts to actually make someone go blind, so I bet on that, and the second you unphased, I saw your opening." You taunted him as he was shocked. "We're going at our fullest here. I'm gonna do whatever it takes to show you I'm the strongest." You said while getting into a fighting stance.

"He's insane..." Todoroki said in shock.

Just as Mirio went underground again, you grinned as you aimed your palm down and blasted the ground, causing a huge exlposion that made everyone jump back as the ground erupted up and Mirio was blown out. He slid across the ground and coughed while staring at you in shock.

"How about a little role play to get you in the mood? I'll play the villain, you play the hero. Which will you save?" You said while aiming your hand at his teammates and the other at Aizawa.

"Hey! Y/N!" Aizawa tried to stop you, but you grinned.

"Come on, hero! Who!?" You yelled while charging up your attacks.

"You're insane!" Mirio yelled.

"I'm the villain, right?" You laughed as he was shocked. "Now, choose! Or I'll blast them all!" You yelled as your power increased and blew the roof off the gym.

Strong winds blew from you as everyone stared at you in shock. Your power increased with each passing second as you grinned at Mirio who couldn't answer you. This dramatic battle has entered a drastic state of despair as you've raised the stakes of the fight Mirio challenged you all to. What will happen next? What will Mirio do in order to protect everyone from your power. Find out next time, on "The Symbol of Hope."
