[3rd Person POV]

Silence filled the inner walls of U.A. High one morning. And with such a time of day, the quiet wasn't really surprising as most students were only just making their way through the school gates. This allowed enough time for the teachers to prepare their studies for the day and other important topics they needed to attend to before being crowded by students. It's in this process, that many teachers could be seen doing exactly that. However, there was one who found themself focused on something else. Within one of the private teacher's office, a phone could be seen being held up to someone's ear.

"...The Sports Festival..."

"...His internship with Mirko..."

"...And his Practical Exam the other day..."

The voice spoke quietly and to the point, almost as if they were somewhat afraid of what they were saying. Though, it is through this moment of hearing this person's voice, no matter how quiet they may be, that the identity of the speaker was soon revealed to be none other than the Number One Hero himself...All Might.

All Might: [Speaking Into Phone] "No, sir. I have not witnessed any other such moments that prove otherwise. I only simply know of the outcome with Mirko because of the hero reports she surprisingly put through... But in saying that, I would not be surprised if there were other times when 'they' showed up."

Turning away from his desk for a moment, the de-powered figure of All Might could be seen looking out his office window at the city in the distance. It was in this city, that the person he was talking to through the phone could also been doing the same. In a four-story building, Grand Torino, the teacher of All Might and Mentor to (Y/n) Midoriya, could be seen deep in thought over the matter his former student had brought to him.

Gran Torino: [Through The Phone] "...And you're sure about this, Toshi?"

All Might: [Voice Only] "Yes, sir. What I witnessed when fighting with Young Midoriya the other day...was most definitely Fa Jin."

Gran Torino: "Hmm...I see." [Rubs Chin] "This is far sooner than I would have expected for them to appear. I wish we had more answers, but it's hard to say exactly what is going on when not even you were able to use 'them'."

-In U.A. High-

All Might: "Indeed. I was realizing such as well. Though, I must admit..."

Gran Torino: [Voice Only] "You're worried about him?"

All Might: "Yes, well, whilst I understand that Young Midoriya is quite the capable young man. To have all of this come onto him so quickly, what...What if it is too much?"

That was a concern All Might did not share alone, as even with the distance between them, Gran Torino could also be seen contemplating such. After all, he never had to deal with such moments before with All Might. But this was different. However...Sometimes different isn't a bad thing.

All Might: "Honestly, I feel even worse about it when I think of myself in that position. So much responsibility and added information thrown in just like that? I would struggle to handle it all. I only feel for Young Midoriya more now..."

Gran Torino [Voice Only] "...I wouldn't be so worried about him, All Might."

All Might: "Gran Torino?"

--In The City--

Looking out his kitchen window, a smile finds Gran Torino's face as he watches a few kids run past with action figures of various heroes. It was in this group of four, that one smaller boy fell behind. Though, never once did he drop his smile.

All Might: [Voice Only] "...Gran Torino?"

Gran Torino: [Smiles] "Like I said, Toshi. I wouldn't be so worried."

All Might: [Voice Only] "But all of this...? It's so sudden... I don't want to burden him with any more."

Gran Torino: "Listen to yourself, boy! Do you honestly see this as a burden on him? You know him far better than me, but even in my short time teaching him, even I could tell there was an unquenched desire to stop evil. And whether you see it or not, One For All is a blessing to him in that regard. This is only a added bonus."

All Might: [Voice Only] "Yes, but--"

Gran Torino: "But nothing! You may feel this would be pressured onto you if you were in his position. But this is different. (Y/n) is different." [Sighs] "Believe it or not, I see something in boy that neither you nor Nana had. Do you know what that is?"

A silence was quick to fall over All Might in the moment, the U.A. Teacher left to suffer in the realization he had no clue to yet another thing trying to be taught to him by Gran Torino. Though, it did not take long for him to get the answer. And when he heard it, All Might didn't exactly know how to feel about it.

Gran Torino: "Tsk. I didn't think you'd know. Oh, well. I'll tell you what's so different about that boy. Now, I don't mean this in any disrespectful way, to either you...nor Nana. But what that boy has that neither of you could come close to, is his willingness to do anything...Anything...To stop those trying to hurt others. Even if it means his own suffering will double."

All Might: [Voice Only] "But that's the thing, Gran Torino! What if it is because of such characteristics, added on by this revelation, that Youg Midoriya will put himself into a position that will only put him into more danger when not needed? He has already lost so much, I cannot think that--"

Gran Torino: "--Then don't think."

All Might: [Voice Only] "Gran Torino?"

Gran Torino: "Look. As I said before. One way or another, the boy is going to put himself into those positions because there is a pledge inside of his spirit that won't let him do otherwise. No one will be able to hinder that. Not even you. That's why instead of pushing it back, we have to nurture it. Same with these 'new arrivals' of his. We must simply watch, and when needed, intervene to guide him further."

All Might: [Voice Only] "Are you suggesting not telling him about all of this? Surely he is already aware but just doesn't--"

Gran Torino: "--I will leave that decision up to you. You decide what is best."

That was the problem though...All Might didn't know what was best in this case. Nevertheless, All Might knew if he continued to push the topic, he'd only receive the same answers from his old teacher over and over again. It's because of that, that the Number One Hero decided to leave the matter at such, and simply accept it with a smile. One he continued to carry as Gran Torino spoke once more.

Gran Torino: [Voice Only] "Anyway, speaking of the centre of attention. What's he up to now? Not going stupid with girls all because it's summer vacation I hope?"

All Might: [Chuckles] "It's funny you mention that actually. Recently Young Midoriya's love life as gotten quite the spectacle. I only really know about it because I overheard Young Bakugo mention it during one of my classes. However, I am unaware how things are currently going. For (Y/n) and his friends are not free from the school life just yet. Actually, if I am correct, right now, they're on a bus to--"

Gran Torino: [Voice Only] "...The Training Camp?"

All Might didn't even have to respond for Gran Torino to get his answer. Nevertheless, once he did, he was quick to bring forth a grin at the idea of what awaited the boy bearing the responsibility of One For All.

"...Now this will certainly put his limits to the test."

 --2 Hours Before Present | Just Outside U.A.--

Distant chatter filled the air surrounding the front of U.A. High, where the students of Classes 1-A and B found themselves standing before a large white bus stationed before them. This very bus was the vehicle that would be taking these lucky students to the training camp in the woods, the place they will be for the next two weeks to hone their Quirks further for the next semester of schooling. 

It was fair to say that a lot of students were looking forward to camp, as there were a particular few, who had failed their finals tests for the previous semester, who undertook drastic redos of aforementioned tests just so they could attend what awaited them in just a few hours. Unfortunately, whereas most people were looking forward to this training camp, there was one person in particular who could say otherwise... That person, of course, was--

"THIS! IS! LAAAAAME!!!!!"

The voice of the one and only Katsuki Bakugo sounded as the aforementioned blonde stomped his way back and forth beside the bus. As he did so, he kept his head low, and his hands firmly in the pockets of his pants, as he made it clear he wasn't happy about this all.

Bakugo: "I mean, this is supposed to be summer break! Time to relax! Go to the movies! Go to parties! Hook my boy up with even more girls! And this is what I get...Stuck with the leftovers?!"

It was as Bakugo screamed such that he pointed to the 'leftovers'; those leftovers, of course, turned out to be the females of Class 1-A, who happened to be gathered all together. Previously, they were talking to one another. But right now, all they were doing was staring at Bakugo in complete shock and growing anger.

Jiro: "What the hell did you just say, asshole?!"

Ashido: "Yeah! That's so not cool!"

Both Jiro and Ashido seemed to be the ones most vocal, whilst others such as Tsuyu, Yaoyorozu, Hagakure, and Uraraka just seemed unsure of what to say in the moment. Someone who wasn't unsure of saying anything, was Bakugo. He knew exactly what to say...Not saying those things were things he should have said...But still.

Bakugo: [Sighs; Rubs Forehead] "Why am I not surprised you do not understand?" [Lifts Head] "Look! I'm not saying being a leftover is bad."

Ashido: "...You're not?"

Jiro: [Narrows Gaze] "You better watch what your next words are, dude."

Bakugo: "...I'm just saying that I get to set you guys up with (Y/n) all the time! But summer break means I can go to other places and spread the great news that is my boy. Besides! Most of you shouldn't be even angry--O-Choco! You, Disney Princess, and Eye-Don't-Spy are already dating (Y/n). So drop those angry looks, 'kay?"

The trio mentioned just turned to one another in even more confusion. As for Jiro and Ashido, they looked as if they were about to punch Bakugo into next week. In fact, they planned to do exactly that, but were stopped after somehow being held back by Tsuyu. This surprising amount of strength from the frog allowed (Y/n) enough time to come in from the side, wrap his arm around Bakugo's neck, and pull him away before he got a black air and a pair of broken testicles. Thankfully it seemed to have been just in time, as no one came chasing after the pair as (Y/n) and Bakugo disappeared behind a wall of other students gathered in the same area. It was only once they were behind this wall of bodies, that (Y/n) let go of Bakugo. The pair soon being joined by Kirishima, Kaminari, and Mineta shortly after.

(Y/n): "Dude!" [Whacks Bakugo Over the Head] "Are you trying to get punched in the head?!"

Bakugo: "What? No! Also, ouch, by the way!"

A pathetic expression was the only thing (Y/n) could muster in response to that statement as Bakugo continued rubbing the back of his head.

Bakugo: "Besides, I wasn't saying anything bad about them."

(Y/n): "You called them leftovers! That's bad enough!"

Bakugo: "Well, am I wrong? They're what's left over, it's all I have to cook with, my guy. Because every other girl I planned to hook you up with over this break, I can't anymore! All because we're forced to go to this stupid training camp we'll crush anyway. It's pointless!"

(Y/n): "No! What's pointless is this! How many times do I have to tell you, you don't need to set me up with girls?! I don't want--"

Bakugo: "Nuh, uh! No! Nope! You're not allowed to say that anymore, (Y/n)."

(Y/n): "Not allowed to...What?!"

Bakugo: "Say you're not interested in other girls. You can't say that because you now have THREE girlfriends."

(Y/n): "Okay, and? Isn't that enough for you?"

Bakugo: "Bah! Pathetic! And you should have known giving me a taste of this would only make me want it more. It's like cocaine!"

(Y/n): [Sighs and Mumbles] "Bakugo...You don't know what cocaine is like."

Bakugo: "Yeah, well, I'm not so sure about that. My Mom got pretty crazy during high school. I mean, she married a loser like my Dad. What do you expect?"

Honestly, (Y/n) could expect hardly anything in this moment. The only thing he could expect was Bakugo saying something stupid out of his mouth in the next five seconds. And sure enough...

Bakugo: "Look, dude, you just need to face it that I ain't going to rest until I get you with so many girls you'll barely have a minute to yourself! It'll be epic!"

(Y/n): "It'll be hell."

Bakugo: "You're just saying that now."

(Y/n): "I'm just saying that in general."

Bakugo: "Yeah, well, we'll see about that, dude."

To further prove his point, Bakugo just went about crossing his arms abruptly and turning away. It wasn't on the same level as previously when Bakugo wouldn't talk to (Y/n) at all. Just to prove a point. And honestly, (Y/n) had reached a limit where he would let Bakugo just talk whatever crap he wanted if it meant giving the young boy some peace. Someone who was more than a little happy to see the sight before her, however, was Uraraka. Who found herself trying her best to cover her mouth from allowing too much laughter out as Bakugo continued to ramble whilst (Y/n) resorted to dropping his head in dismay. Not that he ever stood a chance against Bakugo.

Hagakure: "Bakugo really is someone, huh? I don't think I've ever met someone like him before until...Well, I met him!"

Yaoyorozu: "I suppose Bakugo is rather...Unique, isn't he?"

Bringing forth an uncertain smile, Yaoyorozu turned to her friends. All before she turned back towards her boyfriend to see the aforementioned blonde currently having his arm wrapped around said boyfriend's shoulder. A large smile was plastered across Bakugo's face as he screamed...something. Going off (Y/n)'s own blank expression, however, he was struggling to deal with the antics.

Yaoyorozu: "Though...Sometimes I do question why (Y/n) is friends with him, if I'm honest."

Hagakure: [Turns to Yaoyorozu] "Hmm? Really?"

Yaoyorozu: "O-Of course I don't mean anything bad by that!"

Hagakure: "Haha! It's not a problem, Yao-Momo. Though, for me, I always thought of Bakugo kinda like a stray cat. He hates almost everyone, but when he meets that one person he likes he kinda just sticks with them from then on?"

Yaoyorozu: [Confused] "Really...?"

Hagakure: [Confidently] "Uh, huh! Perfect comparison, right?"

Uraraka: [Smiles to herself] "He's going to kill you if he finds out you said that."

The young girl muttered to herself, not planning to involve herself further in the sentence. However, as Uraraka opened her eyes and looked out at the sight of Bakugo's antics, which, (Y/n) seemed not that impressed with. It didn't take long before the young girl's keen eye focused on the slight smile her boyfriend gave after a short while of Bakugo dancing around like an idiot. 

Because whereas people like Yaoyorozu and Hagakure, who don't really know Bakugo, Uraraka knew what the true person under all that foolish nature was. She even planned to tell the others exactly such, all so she could save Bakugo's face a little in the sight of his best friends new girlfriends. However, before Uraraka could do that, she was abruptly cut off by a pair of familiar voices.

"Oh my goodness! What do we have here? Is that the totally cute and friendly Ochaco Uraraka?!"

Uraraka: "Huh?"

Turning around at the call of her name, the confused young girl was almost instantly forced to deal with double the aforementioned emotion when her gaze landed on a pair of eyes she didn't exactly expect to see today. Those gazes belonged to none other than the two most prominent female teachers of U.A.; and unironically, her life as of late; Midnight and Mirko! Both female heroes currently found themselves standing right behind Uraraka and the others, though the Pro Heroes' gazes never once left the young brunette, who was left to deal with the cheery and friendly nature of Midnight; whilst also the narrowed, serious, reflection of Mirko's own personality.

Midnight: "Oh, wow! Uraraka! That really is you! I knew it!"

Uraraka: [Confused] "Um..."

Midnight: [Giggles] "I know, right? Totally random, right, Uraraka? I can call you Uraraka, right, Uraraka? I mean, we're practically friends already, right?"

Mirko: [Bkankly stares at Midnight] "Stop saying 'right' so much."

Midnight: [Smiles at Uraraka; Suddenly turns to Mirko] "Would you shut up, okay? I'm trying to work my way into the popular crowd!" [Mumbles to herself] "It's not really often that I find myself out of it..."

Mirko: "Maybe that's because you're just not as popular as you may think?"

Midnight: "I am so popular!" [Grins] "I'll have you know, in fact, just last year on the hero rankings... I got 18th!"

Mirko: [Lazily Blinks] "I wonder why?"

Nothing was added further other than the raise of Mirko's eyebrows to suggest...Something. Such only got a scoff out of the R-Rated Hero, however.

Midnight: "Yeah? Well, it doesn't matter! I still ranked higher than you!"

Mirko: "...I got 12th."

Midnight: "12TH?! 12TH?! HOW THE HELL DID YOU GET HIGHER THAN ME?!"

Mirko: [Nudges Shoulders] "I dunno. I'm just better?"

It genuinely seemed to be that Mirko was asking the question. But Midnight knew otherwise. To the point, the teacher was this close to snapping. However, before she could do so, she was abruptly cut off by none other than the person the pair had come to see...Uraraka. Who quite literally had no idea what was going on right now.

Uraraka: "So...Can I help you guys, or can I...Go?"

Mirko: [Turns to Uraraka] "Huh? No. Of course, you can't leave!"

Uraraka: "...I can't?"

Mirko: "Of course not! I have serious business to discuss with you, child!"

Uraraka: "You do? Am I in trouble for something?"

Mirko: "Ye--"

Midnight: [Suddenly turns to Uraraka] "What? In trouble? Ha! Ha! Of course not, girl!" [Turns to Mirko; Grumbles] "Stop trying to ruin this, okay? I've got this!" [Turns to Uraraka; Giggles] "Look, Uraraka, I don't mean to be a bother or anything--"

Mirko: "Yes, you do. You're a bother. That's exactly what you are. You're a bother to me. This child. And (Y--"

Midnight: [Grumbles to Mirko] "Shut the hell up before I make you, bitch!"

Mirko couldn't help but laugh upon hearing that. And as much as that angered Midnight, it turned out to be the perfect distraction that allowed the teacher of U.A. to turn her focus back to Uraraka to finally get out what she wanted to say. Of course, Uraraka still remained confused as she glanced towards Hagakure and Yaoyorozu.

Midnight: "Okay, look. I'm just going to get straight to the point, okay? So...Recently I found out that you decided to let Ms. Yaoyorozu and Hagakure date (Y/n)... Your Boyfriend."

Uraraka: "Um...Yeah?"

Midnight: [Smiles] "Alright! Cool...Cool. Glad to have that confirmed then..." [Thoughts] "So I did come to the right person. Well, in this circumstance anyway~" [Shakes Head] "Damn it, Kayama! Focus! This is not the time to have dirty thoughts about your hot student!" 

Uraraka: "Uh, can I ask where you heard that though?"

Midnight: [Snaps back to Reality] "Hmm? Oh! Let's just say an explosive little birdy told me, 'kay?"

Uraraka: [Sighs] "...Of course Bakugo is behind this."

Midnight: "But never mind that right now. Listen, I know that you kinda know me as the hot and attractive teacher who's been chasing after your little boy toy. But I want you to understand something, I don't plan on stealing him away from you completely..."

Uraraka: "...Um, I don't know how I feel about--"

Midnight: "I just want the same as what Yaoyorozu and Hagakure have, okay?" [Smiles] "I wanna share him with you!"

Uraraka: "Yeah, I still don't--" [Realizes] "Wait. You want to...share...(Y/n)?"

Midnight: [Smiles Brightly] "Uh, huh. Cool, right?"

Uraraka: "I mean, um...I didn't know you liked (Y/n) like that?"

It was as soon as Midnight heard those words, however, or more precisely 'word', that the R-Rated Hero's bright smile quickly shifted to a look of shock. Something that confused both Uraraka and a refocused Mirko. But before either one could say anything, they were interrupted by the childhood favourite of (Y/n).

Midnight: [Obnoxiously Laughs] "L-Like (Y/n)? Like...Like, like, him? H-Ha! Y-Yeah, right! I-I don't like him...Like him..."

Uraraka: "You don't?"

Mirko: "You don't?"

The confused pair just continued to keep their raised eyebrows on the Rated-R hero, who kept offering weird sounds of laughter from her mouth.

Midnight: "Ha...Ha...L-Look. Okay, yes, I think (Y/n)'s attractive! I mean, who wouldn't?"

A nudge of the shoulders in agreement from Mirko came.

Midnight: "Bu-But I do NOT...Like (Y/n) like...like...that! I don't do 'crushes' you see?"

Uraraka: "You don't? Then why do you always flirt with (Y/n)?"

Midnight: "Um...Be-Because...Uh...W-Well...Well...Oh! Be-Because (Y/n) is the first boy to actually ignore my advances! Yeah! A-And I'm the type of woman that doesn't just let that happen! So I won't stop in my act until he finally admits that I'm hot!"

Uraraka: "Oh...Um, okay? But didn't you say you wanted to share (Y/n)?"

Midnight: "Hmm? O-Oh, well, um...Of course! But that's only so that with you letting me, uh...date him, th-that I'd get more of an opportunity to make it just admit he likes me!"

Uraraka: "...Oh..."

It was fair to say that Uraraka didn't know how to feel about that on multiple levels. For one, she wasn't even sure if what Midnight said was the truth. If anything, it kinda made Uraraka angry a little that someone would want to play with (Y/n)'s emotions like that. But then there was also a part of her that made her question whether Midnight was just a little too afraid to admit that she actually did have a crush on (Y/n). 

To be honest, the young girl didn't know what the right answer was. Unfortunately, it seemed that any chance of getting one was soon thrown out the window entirely when the voice of Mirko finally spoke up. And as it seemed to be the case always when the Rabbit Hero did stuff, a verbal argument on the same levels of one Bakugo would offer came into play.

Mirko: [Chuckles] "Pfft! Haha! Yeah, right. As if any of that is true!"

Midnight: [Turns to Mirko] "Huh?"

Mirko: [Grins] "I think someone is just afraid to admit that she has a crush on someone~"

Midnight: [Blushes Slightly; Gets in Mirko's Face] "I-I do not have a crush on anyone! In fact! ...People have crushes on me instead!"

Mirko: "Uh, huh. Uh, huh. Sure. Keep telling yourself that." [Turns to Uraraka] "As for me. I don't back down from anything. Especially when it comes to 'my' rookie."

Uraraka/Midnight: "...'Your' Rookie?"

Mirko: [Ignoring them both] "--Now, I, myself, will admit that bringing up my...emotions, is not normally something I do. But seeing as in this case doing so will only prove that I am better than this forty-nine dollar an hour corner worker standing next to me, I will admit that...I do have a crush on (Y/n). Not that that is very surprising. He is the most suitable partner for me after all."

It was fair to say that following this sentence there was quite the...response...to come out of it.

Midnight: "FORTY-NINE DOLLARS AN HOUR?! FORTY-NINE DOLLARS AN HOUR?! You have got to be kidding me!"

Mirko: [Blankly] "I think you're missing the main point of what I just said."

Midnight: "Oh, I got the point BI--"

Midnight was about to say something...else, when she suddenly remembered that right now she was in the presence of children. Well, not really children, they were all Eighteen. But still. Surprisingly, the R-rated hero had enough sense to stop herself here for this current sentence. Though, that wasn't to say she didn't have more to say that was more 'PG-13-rated' Hero levels.

Midnight: "Be-Besides! Who cares if you have a crush on (Y/n)! Why would Uraraka even let you date him? You're not her friend! I am!"

Uraraka: [Nervously Chuckles] "Oh, I wouldn't go and sa--"

Mirko: "Excuse me?! I am so her friend!"

Uraraka: [Mumbles to herself] "And of course no one heard me."

Such was truer than she'd ever know...

Midnight: [Grins] "Oh, you're her friend, huh?"

Mirko: "Of course!"

Midnight: "Haha...I don't think so. I'm her friend."

Mirko: "No you're not! I am!" [Suddenly turns to Uraraka] "You! Small girl that is distracting (Y/n)! Tell this old woman I am your friend!"

Midnight: "OLD?!"

Uraraka: [Growing more nervous] "Um...Haha...Maybe I should just--"

Mirko: [Suddenly turns to Midnight] "See! She said I was her friend! And that you're old like a goat!"

Midnight: "OLD LIKE A--" [Breaths in and out] "...Okay...Okay. Look. Think what you want, okay? But you need to face the facts."

Mirko: "Ha! Well, sucks for you! I'm good at facing facts! And if (Y/n) was here, he'd be able to tell you he likes me more! ...And that I'm also good at facing facts!"

Midnight: "...O--Kay then...Anyway. If anything, I'm more of Uraraka's friend. In fact I've taught her longer than you. I was her homeroom teacher! And I was a cool teacher! So therefore I'm more of her friend!"

Mirko: "Pathetic! It doesn't matter if you taught her longer! Besides, I'm way cooler than you!" [Suddenly turns to Uraraka] "You! Small girl that is distracting (Y/n)! Tell this old woman that I'm cool!"

Uraraka: "I--"

Mirko: [Suddenly turns to Midnight] "See?! She thinks I'm the coolest!!"

This, of course, only seemed to leave Midnight even more angry. But neither the female teacher, nor Uraraka herself, could intervene in much. As Mirko now gained control over the conversation. That, and whenever someone would try and say something other than what the Rabbit Hero believed, she'd immediately yell at them and force them to keep on topic. It was as all of this went down, that a short distance away, at the other end of the parked bus, (Y/n) and Bakugo both stood in confusion at the crazy sight before them.

Bakugo: "Ha! Those two are still going at it, huh?"

(Y/n): "Yeah...And I blame you."

Bakugo: "Wah! Blame me? You make it sound like this is a bad thing, (Y/n)!"

The goofy blonde only received a raised eyebrow from his best friend for a response. Nevertheless, it did no effect to the desire inside of the firecracker that led him to keep bringing girls towards his boy. Something which (Y/n) still knew little of the true desire hidden behind his friend's motives. Not that he was really thinking about that now, that is.

(Y/n): [Shakes Head] "You know what? I'm not going to deal with you right now." [Sighs] "I'm going to go save my girlfriend."

Bakugo: "Haha! Which one?!"

The voice of his friend, as he took off from his current position, was all that filled (Y/n)'s head in this moment...Unfortunately. Honestly, Bakugo was starting to get on his nerves as of late. You see, it seemed that ever since (Y/n) agreed to dating Yaoyorozu and Hagakure as well as Uraraka, was one of (Y/n)'s biggest mistakes. Because whilst it did have the effect of getting the blonde to talk to him again, it also added needless fire to the flame. Something that left (Y/n) with a growing headache. 

But right now, he couldn't focus on that much. He needed to stop this crap between Mirko and Midnight, something which Uraraka unfortunately found herself in between of right now. Luckily for her, her personal hero was on the way. However, it soon turned out that (Y/n) wasn't able to get more than a few steps in before he was suddenly cut off. And all thanks to the sound of a familiar voice blurting out abruptly into the air from in front of him.

"What? There are people in the great Class A taking classes during summer break?"

(Y/n): [Lifts Head] "Huh?"

Upon lifting his head, (Y/n) was greeted by the cause of this arrogant, and quite honestly, very annoying, voice of none other than Neito Monoma from Class 1-B. (Y/n), of course, knew this person as the asshole from the Sports Festival who brought up Izuku--Only knowing which thanks to another asshole, Kaito. But since the events of the Sports Festival, the young boy hadn't really seen this asshat around school often. However according to Bakugo...He was there. But right now, it seemed that Monoma hadn't changed one bit, as he was quickly reassuring everyone that just because Kaito was no longer in U.A., that didn't necessarily mean the school was without mistakes.

Monoma: "Haha! This doesn't make any sense! Doesn't that mean you guys had people who failed finals? But that can't be! Class A is supposed to have the best of the best, not like us students from Class B, right? What? Isn't that weird? Isn't that weird? Even though they're supposed to be better than us? It's so weird, right, gu--"

Chop!

...And just like most mistakes, a simple chop to the top of his head was all it took to silence Monoma. His body slightly tumbling forward from the sudden attack, revealing the cause to be from Kendo, the ginger-haired brunette, and Class Rep, of U.A.'s Class 1-B. She wasn't alone, however, for along with her arrival, as well as Monoma's, came that arrival of every other student from the second-best class in the Hero Course at U.A., all of which now carried looks of annoyance directed at their resident idiots' actions. Those annoyed looks almost instantly dropped, however, when their eyes set themselves upon (Y/n) before them--a narrowed-eyed Bakugo slowly joining him at the side.

Kendo: [Smiles] "Hey, guys. Sorry about Monoma! He's going to take a quick rest to calm down, okay?"

Nothing but a muffled groan escaped the aforementioned blonde's mouth as he lay on the ground currently. But everyone chose to ignore such, including (Y/n), who just offered his own half smile as he greeted his fellow students before him.

(Y/n): "That's cool. Don't worry about it. Us at Class A have our 'quirky' characters we have to deal with as well."

Bakugo: [Narrows Gaze at Kendo] "Yeah. 'Quirky'. That means we think they're weird."

Kendo: [Hesitant] "Oh...Um, okay?"

(Y/n): "Yeah, I mean, you guys have Monoma--We have Bakugo."

Bakugo: "Yeah! You guys have the Illegitimate son of All Might, and we have that explosive idiot Bakug--Oh! Hold on a second!" [Glares at you] "What the hell, dude?!"

(Y/n): [Chuckles] "Relax, dude. Haha! We're all just joking here!"

(Y/n) made sure to have that known, as he continued to laugh a little more than Class B had normally seen come from him. Of course, this only annoyed Bakugo further. Not because he was annoyed about what (Y/n) said. In fact, he respected his bro for taking the opportunity to roast him in such--Bakugo was sure to get (Y/n) back later. But the real reason in which he was pissed is he didn't want to seem like some idiot in front of Kendo. 

After all, Bakugo still hadn't forgotten the disserve the ginger did during the Sports Festival when Monoma ratted out about Izuku. Something Kendo proceeded to do nothing for during the moments in which it happened. And it soon became clear that he hadn't forgotten from his first reaction towards the arrival of her presence along with her class. Such instantly caused Kendo to feel terrible, as she truly did feel bad about not being able to do anything during what happened at the Sports Festival. 

Nevertheless, despite not knowing what Bakugo had done back then, (Y/n) somehow managed to free her worries by downgrading his best friend in front of all. It was as all of this happened, with (Y/n)'s laughter still filling the air, that back over near Class B, Monoma slowly got to his feet. As he did so, a silent wave of grumbles exited his mouth as he started walking off due to the disgrace, and anger, he currently felt. 

Monoma: [Grumbles] "Yeah. Yeah. Keep laughing now, Class A showboat. I'll be sure to show everyone which class really is the best during this training camp."

Those words were all that remained of the blonde's presence before he disappeared behind the bus. Allowing only a mild reception from his classmates in the wake of his leave. Such as a silent response from the resident silent type of Class B, a grey-haired girl with part of her aforementioned hair covering half of her face, Reiko Yanagi.

[...To better help with looks, because we ALL know describing all these new characters at once would be a hassle.]

Reiko Yanagi: "Monoma's scary."

Setsuna Tokage: "Haha! Don't worry, Yanagi! Monoma couldn't even hurt a fly! He's just all bark and no bite."

Yosetsu Awase: "Setsuna is right, Yanagi. Don't focus too much on Monoma. Haha! I know I sure don't!"

Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu: "Monoma really hasn't gotten over the Sports Festival yet, has he? Haha!"

Yui Kodai: "Of course he hasn't. He's Monoma..."

Kendo: [Chuckles Nervously] "Haha...Come on, guys. Let's not go too far with it now. Especially in front of--"

Kendo was about to say-- "Not in front of 1-A". But before she could say that, she was suddenly cut off when the sound of a few familiar male voices suddenly entered the air, enough to capture the attention of all 1-B members.

Bakugo: [Voice Only] "That's not the point, bro! This is the perfect chance! We have to strike first! No mercy! Remember? That's our motto!"

(Y/n): [Voice Only] "No. That's your motto. Mostly to set me up with girls. Something I'm still not a fan of by the way."

Bakugo: [Voice Only] "Well, it's a good thing I'm not doing this because you're a 'fan' of it. Besides, ever since I've set you up with girls that you're not dating, might I add, you've been the happiest ever?"

(Y/n): [Voice Only] "...Shut up."

Bakugo: [Voice Only] "Ah-ha! Gotcha bitch! Now be a good best friend and let ya boy work!"

It was as Bakugo went to 'work', that the scruffy blonde immediately grabbed his boy by the wrist and started dragging him over toward the gathered group of Class 1-B. Upon arrival, Bakugo sparked to life his usual grin. Whilst (Y/n) just blankly stared, as if he were a mix of Tokoyami and Todoroki right about now. All the while the members of 1-B watched on in silent confusion...Not for long, however.

Bakugo: "...What's up, extras?"

(Y/n): [Suddenly turns to Bakugo] "Dude, no."

Bakugo: "Dude, yes. Let me cook!"

(Y/n): "I will let you do nothing--And stop googling that shitty lingo from America already!"

Bakugo: "Yare Yare Daze."

(Y/n): [Sighs and drops head] "I wish I never came to this school."

Bakugo: [Smiles brightly] "Well, too late, buttercup!" [Turns to Class B] "Now then, extras!"

Yosetsu: "Extra--"

Bakugo: [Points at Yosetsu] "Zip it, Bandana!"

Yosetsu: "Bandana...? Oh! Haha! Yeah, I get it, it's because I wear one." [Smiles at Bakugo] "My name's actually Yoset--"

Bakugo: "I didn't ask for your life story, Bandana. Besides, as you all should know, when I give a nickname, that's all you are to me from that point."

(Y/n): [Groans into hand] "Dude, shut up..."

Bakugo: [Doesn't shut up] "Well, that's unless you're (Y/n). Or a girl I'm trying to set up with him. Speaking of which..." [Turns to the girls of 1-B] "...Sup~"

This time (Y/n) didn't even try to say anything. He just lifted his head and went to walk away. But Bakugo's reflexes were too quick. Without even looking over his shoulder, he managed to grab (Y/n) by the crop of his school uniform and kept him in place as Bakugo returned to speaking to 1-B.

Bakugo: "Now then, as I was saying. I know the last time your little group and I spoke, I was religiously bashing it into your faces that my boy would crush your class during the Cavalry Battle" [Clears Throat] "Something he did by the way!" [Clears Throat] "...Anywho, I only really hate the ugly blonde of your class so--"

Pony Tsunotori: [In American Accent] "...You hate me?"

Bakugo: [Turns to Pony] "Huh? What? N...No?"

Pony: [Gleefully; In American Accent] "...Oh! Okay!"

Bakugo: [Continues to stare at Pony] "...Anyway! Um...Where was I?" [Shakes Head] "Right! Forget the past and let's all move onto to--"

"Hey, we haven't properly met before. I'm Setsuna Tokage."

Bakugo: [Narrows Gaze] "Who the hell is interrupting me...?"

Turning around to find out who exactly was interrupting him, Bakugo was almost instantly silenced when he saw the reason for being spoken over was that during his 'encounter' with Pony Tsunotori of Class 1-B, the other girls of the aforementioned class proceeded to make their way over to (Y/n) and began to introduce themselves. The first of which was a girl with a large smile, seemingly carrying a very freeing nature in her life, along with murky green-coloured hair that went down to her neck.

Setsuna: "We kinda met during the Sports Festival. But as your funny friend just said, it was kinda spent dealing with his antics."

(Y/n): "Yeah..." [Awkwardly chuckles] "That's Bakugo for you. Sorry about him."

Setsuna: "It's fine. As you said, you've got him, we've got Monoma!"

A round of laughter quickly filled the air from the small group of girls and (Y/n), all the while Bakugo just watched on with a narrowed gaze and a large smile.

Bakugo: [Talks to himself] "...This is weird. They're dogging me into the same pile as that blonde idiot from 1-B. But they're also talking with (Y/n). I may hate what they're saying about me...But if it's what is needed to get them all close and personal with my boy...I'll accept it." [Chuckles sinisterly] "And here and I thought I'd be dealt with only leftovers on this trip. Now I can put my full effort into getting the other girls of this school to fall head over heels for my boy! Haha! This is perfe--"

Chop!

And in another sense of similarity and comparison between Monoma and Bakugo, just like how Monoma was silenced with a chop to the head earlier by Kendo, it was now Bakugo's turn to be dealt the same. This one, however, was by Uraraka, who along with Yaoyorozu and Hagakure watched as Bakugo's body fell to the ground with pain driving through his body.

Uraraka: "Bad. Bad, Bakugo."

Nothing but a grumbled wave of noise fell from Blonde's mouth before Uraraka and the others went off to join (Y/n) in introducing themselves to Class 1-B. Meanwhile, Kendo and others from both classes began hopping onto the bus upon the arrival of the other teachers going on the trip. So with everyone in their own little worlds, you'd think they'd all have a place, right? Well, that seemed right for everyone but Akiko, who just stood in the back of it all, watching as people spoke and had fun together. 

The scene that drew her attention the most, however, was of course the one (Y/n) was a part of. Honestly, Akiko still couldn't believe her eyes. The boy who confidently spoke and laughed whilst surrounded by a group of girls seemed nothing like the (Y/n) she knew back in junior high. Then again, a lot else had changed... Including her relationship with him. Just thinking about it was enough to cause the black-haired girl to drop her head in dismay. That was until another voice entered the air.

"...You're also annoyed (Y/n)'s talking to all the girls too, huh?"

Akiko: "Huh?"

It was as that noise sprung from her mouth that Akiko turned to her right to see that the person talking to her was an awkward blonde who could barely keep eye contact with her...Otherwise known as Kaminari.

Akiko: "O-Oh, no. I'm not jealous or anything! I-It's just...The (Y/n) I knew back in Junior High wasn't so much of a--"

Kaminari: [Dismayed] "--Chick magnet?"

Akiko: "...I was going to say popular person."

Upon hearing such, Kaminari's awkward and dismayed expressions quickly fell, as genuine surprise flooded his system. 

Kaminari: "Wait. No way! Really?"

Akiko: "Uh, huh."

Kaminari: "Wow. I mean...I knew I heard stuff about his old school life from Bakugo. But I honestly never believed for a second that (Y/n) wasn't popular."

Akiko: "Oh, yeah. Haha. I definitely wouldn't have called him popular back then--N-Not that there's nothing wrong with not being popular!"

Kaminari: "Haha. It's cool. As the resident not popular person of Class 1-A...I take no offence."

Akiko: "Um...Okay?"

A raised eyebrow was all Akiko could give. Meanwhile, when she wasn't looking, Kaminari looked over his shoulder and offered a thumbs up in the direction of Mineta, who currently hid behind the back of the school bus as he watched his best buddy from a distance. Though before Akiko could notice such, Kaminari quickly turned back to her.

Kaminari: "A-Anyway, um...I just wanted to, uh, introduce myself! Yeah! Introduce myself...I'm--"

Akiko: --Kaminari, I know."

Kaminari: "O-Oh...Cool." [Thoughts] "Fuck! That's all I had planned to say! What now Mineta?!"

Akiko: "I'm Akiko, though."

Kaminari: [Turns back to her] "...I'm sorry?"

Akiko: "A-Akiko? That's my name?"

Kaminari: "Oh! Yeah! Yeah! I...I know."

Akiko: "Oh...Right."

...Yeah. Whilst it may have been normal for Kaminari to go through an awkward moment or two during his daily life at U.A., this current moment was almost the top of the barrel for the blonde. All he could do was awkwardly look around as Akiko did the same. It seemed like the pair were destined to remain in this loop until...

Akiko: "...Um, I-I better get going. I don't wanna miss the bus."

Kaminari: [Suddenly lifts head] "Hmm? Oh! Ye-Yeah. Definitely...Definitely...Um...I-I guess I'll--"

Akiko: "See you around, Kaminari."

Kaminari: "Oh. Yeah. Um...See you?"

An awkward smile was all that remained on the face on the electricity-based quirk user that was Kaminari. But whereas his quirk often sparked to life, Kaminari's love life...was anything but. All he could do was drop his head in shame as Mineta joined his comrade in silence. As for Akiko, she proceeded to get onto the bus taking the classes to the training camp. However, it was as she walked through the main isle of the vehicle that she witnessed countless sights that didn't exactly help lift her mood. Whether that be Mirko and Midnight sitting at the front with the rest of the teachers, arguing over (Y/n), of course. 

Or may it be when she reached the halfway mark, only to see the sight of (Y/n) sitting with his girlfriends, who were still talking to the girls of 1-B. It just seemed no matter where Akiko went...She couldn't escape his face. It left her feeling weighted inside. A feeling that remained as she eventually found her seat near the back of the bus...alone. As for everyone else, however, time seemed to be going quickly. And before too long, the bus filled with members and teachers of class 1-A and 1-B was on the road, taking the groups toward their destination for the next two weeks or so...

--A Few Hours Later--

...Training Camp.

"I gotta pee!"

Okay, so not the exact first words you expect to come from someone's mouth when arriving at a training camp for future heroes. But in the defence of everyone, including the person currently describing their bladder situation, they technically weren't at the training camp grounds yet. Instead, they were still about twenty minutes out from where the camp was located. The bus carrying the students and teachers of U.A. High currently found themselves on a cliff on the side of the road on the mountainside. 

It wasn't exactly known why the bus stopped, but people took the opportunity to jump off the previously moving vehicle to stretch, get some air, or pee... Amongst this group, however, (Y/n) decided against the latter. Choosing to simply hope off the crowded bus and lazily stand by the side as everyone else did whatever they wanted. It seemed the perfect moment for some alone time after being stuck with countless characters in a cramped space for two hours now. Of course, as it was most of the time with (Y/n), he was soon forced to re-focus back on school.

Aizawa: "No then, before any of you start relaxing. Understand this, there is no point stopping without a reason."

Mineta: [Jumps up and Down] "Oh! Oh! Oh! Eraserhead, sir! Oh! Where's the bathroom?! Oh!"

Aizawa: "The bathroom...?"

Aizawa didn't really need to respond to that question. Mainly because all he needed to do, as more students from his class gathered around, was to just look around him at the vast field of trees in the distance over the cliff, the road behind him, and the parked bus to the side. All of which answered Mineta's question about where the bathroom was. Unfortunately, before Aizawa could say anything else to his previous statement, he was suddenly caught off guard when someone called out his name.

"Oi! Aizawa! Long time no see!"

Students: "Huh?"

As the student's gaze followed that of their teacher, their combined eyes soon landed on the sight of a small black car that had pulled up alongside the bus on the side of the road. At first, it was presumed that random people had parked their car upon noticing a familiar hero face in public. However, that perception from everyone gathered was quickly subsided when the people in the cat suddenly burst forth from the opened doors to strike a daunting pose together. But what was more eye-catching other than the pose, was the outfits these two people currently wore. Now for the most part their clothes were quite normal, to be fair. These two women wearing colourful pieces of clothing items. 

Ones which were decked with sleeveless arms and skirts stopping just before their knees. As well as boots that wouldn't exactly match with such style in the usual sense, but still managed to fit the overall scheme of things. Such things were quickly overshadowed by the other accessories worn by the two girls. One such item the pair both carried were gloves that were made out to look exactly like the pairs of cats. But sticking to the cat theme, they both also had tails with stripes coming out the back of their skirts. As well as strange headbands that resemble cat ears. Though more elongated and metallic. Either way, whether it be the pose they were striking or their appearance, it was sure to bring out a reaction from some people...

Bakugo: [Growls] "Great! The fucking furries followed us out into the woods. I swear! Nowhere is safe from crazy people these days! I'm getting back on the bus!"

Bakugo goes to turn around and leave, but is stopped by Uraraka, who unconsciously grabs the back of his school uniform to keep him in place. As she did, everyone else took in the appearance of the duo of women before them. For whereas some people saw these new arrivals as 'furries' or 'random super fans'. It didn't take long before such was proven false. These people weren't just randoms. No. These people--clad in bright-coloured outfits; their hands covered with cat paws, tails, and headbands that appeared like ears--were actually a pair of familiar faces. And if their looks didn't give much away, their first set of words upon striking this back-to-back pose from the two women most certainly did.

(???) #1: "Lock on with these sparkling gazes!"

(???) #2: "Stingingly cute and catlike!"

Both: "Together, we are... The Wild, Wild..."

"...Pussycats!"

If that...Flamboyant intro wasn't enough of a show-stopper, when the students began to realise these two women were heroes most certainly was. Such quickly doubled when they realized that these two women were not only heroes...But heroes that would be assisting in the training camp, as a reluctant Aizawa soon added as he joined the side of the pose striking crimefighters...As well as a small child with a red hat positioned beside them? It was honestly something no one had noticed previously, as they were more so 'intrigued' by the other shocking sight before them. But no one really brought it up right away. Besides, going off the kid's face, he didn't want to be here.

Aizawa: [Sighs] "These are pro heroes who will be working with us during the camp, the Pussycats."

Yaoyorozu: "Huh? Pussycats? I've never heard of them before?"

Uraraka: "The name sounds cute."

Hagakure: "Yeah! I'm sure the kids love them!"

The trio of girls announced, much to the agreement of their other female students. They were soon joined by Midnight and Mirko, who both carried different opinions to the matter.

Midnight: "Hmm? They are rather innocent, aren't they?" [Suddenly turns to Uraraka] "But they're not as cute and adorable like you, Uraraka!"

Uraraka: "Um...Thanks?"

And even with a two hour bus ride, it was clear Midnight still wasn't finished with trying to win over the young girl into letting her also date (Y/n)...Not that she wanted to date him, of course! Because Midnight didn't 'date' people. She let them date her...Yeah. That's it. That's exactly the way she'd describe it. However, this was soon laughed at by Mirko, who quickly took over the conversation with her loud voice.

Mirko: "Ha! Please! These two ain't anything! Pussycats? Bah! More like copycats!"

Pussycat Member #1: "Huh? Copycats?"

Pussycat Member #2: "What the hell did you just say to us?!"

Mirko: [Blankly crosses arms] "Ya heard me! Copycats! You guys don't even have any proper animal traits. Besides, anyone here knows having your heroes based around cute animals is complete garbage! Cute animal heroes can't be intimidating!"

Kaminari: [Raises hand] "But, Ms Mirko. You're a hero based around a cute animal. A rabbit!"

Instantly a dark purple aura began to expand around Mirko's still and stiff body.

Kirishima: "Hey, Koda. Don't you have a bunny rabbit at your home?"

Koda: "Um--"

Sero: "Oh! That's right! Haha! I remember you showing us photos of it!"

Sato: "Yeah! Your bunny rabbit! It was so cute!"

Ashido: "So cute!"

Tsuyu: "So cute!"

As the word 'cute' began being spread around about Koda's bunny rabbit, meanwhile with Mirko, the Rabbit hero could be seen clenching her fist as she buried her head to the ground and began muttering fiercely over and over again.

Mirko: [Sinisterly Grumbles] "Cute. Cute. Cute. Cute. Cute."

The only one who seemed to notice the build-up was (Y/n).

(Y/n): [Raises a finger] "Um...Guys? Maybe you should all cool it. I think Mirko is about to--"

Kaminari: "Oh! You're so right, guys! Bunny rabbits are the cutest! Way cuter than cats! Nothing can beat a cute bunny rabbit! Haha! Right, Ms Mir--KROW!"

Whatever Kaminari planned to say from that point onward was abruptly cut off by Mirko suddenly snapping in his general direction, grabbing the young boy by the throat, and squeezing it tightly. All the while the dark aura continued to build around her.

Mirko: "Keep going. I dare you, battery. Finish. That. Damn. Sentence."

Kaminari: [Struggling to breath] "Um...N-No, thank you..."

A wave of silence quickly filled the surrounding area. It even reached the two members of the Pussycats; with the one previously ready to fight Mirko--Pixie Bob; aka Ryuko Tsuchikawa: a woman with blue eyes, and long blonde hair that's mostly combed back save for her bangs--now backing away slowly in fear behind the back of her fellow 'Pussycat'-Mandalay. Who was the leader of the Pussycats, whilst also being a young woman with brown eyes and red hair styled into three bangs going across her face. She also had red markings drawn beneath her eyes. Mandalay seemed rather happy that her fellow member decided to not pick a fight with Mirko.

Aizawa: "Mirko!"

Mirko: [Snaps towards Aizawa] "What, bandages?! You want some too?!"

Aizawa: "No..." [Sighs] "...Can I get back to my class, please?"

A moment of contemplating, in which Mirko tightened her grip around Kaminari's throat, followed before the white-haired beauty eventually let him go. His body dropping to the ground in a stiff motion, as familiar faces gathered around him from above.

Ashido: "Kaminari, are you okay?"

Sero: "Can you breathe, man?"

Kirishima: "Sorry for getting that started, dude."

Mineta: "Kaminari, you lucky bitch! What did that feel like? Does Mirko have a tight grip?"

Yeah...It was fair to say Mineta got a few looks for that one. Nevertheless, everyone seemed to do what they always did when something involved Mineta...They chose to ignore it.  Such allowed Aizawa to continue speaking, something the tired teacher greatly appreciated.

Aizawa: "Now then, as I was saying... The Pussycats will be assisting us with this training camp. They are a four-member team who set up a joint agency. They're a veteran team that specializes in mountain rescues. This year will be their twelfth as--"

Pixie Box: "Hey! Watch it, Aizawa! I'm 18 at heart, remember?!"

Aizawa: "Hmm? Oh...Right."

Mirko: [Coughs loudly] "Old. You're old. Old at heart. And appearance. Old." [Continues to cough] "Ah. Sorry about that."

Meanwhile, near the back of the group.

Bakugo: "That woman's got a firey attitude...nice...nice."

Back at the front, following Mirko's innocent reaction to her remark, Midnight quickly turned to her frenemy with a sharp glare.

Midnight: "What the hell are you doing? Do you need to pick a fight with everyone?" 

Mirko: "Well, duh! What else are you supposed to do with people other than fight?"

Midnight: "Oh, come on. There's got to be more in your brain other than fighting?"

Mirko: [Raises eyebrow] "What? Like fu--"

Aizawa: "AS I WAS SAYING!" [Takes deep breath inward] "...As I was saying... The Pussycats are here to help with training." [Turns to Mandalay] "Would you like to explain?"

Mandalay: [Smiles brightly] "Sure thing, Aizawa!" [Turns to the students] "Alright, so Aizawa is right. We will be helping with the training. But in order to train, you need a space to do so. That's why we've brought you here--"

Bakugo: "--To this cliff?"

Mandalay: "What? No. The cliff is just the start. It's beyond this cliff that--"

Bakugo: "--Another cliff awaits? Because, if so, I hope it's bigger than this one."

Mandalay: "Huh?"

Bakugo: "I mean, nothing against this cliff really. It's just...There's no way you can train so many people on this small pot of land on a mountain. So I just hope that the next cliff you take us to is--"

Mandalay: "WE'RE NOT TRAINING ON THIS CLIFF, OKAY?! OR ANY OTHER CLIFF FOR THAT MATTER!"

Bakugo: "...Nah. I knew that. I was just bustin' your balls. The bus ride here was boring as fuck." [Steps forward] "Hi. How's it going? Bakugo, class rep for bustin' people's balls."

The blonde goes to stretch out his hand but is quickly pulled back by Uraraka. Meanwhile, with (Y/n), who was about ten meters away from Bakugo's current location, he could only chuckle at the sight.

Mandalay: "O...Kay?" [Shakes Head] "Anyway! As I was saying, you need land to train on. That's why we've brought you here. You see this vast block of trees behind us? We own it. And for this summer break, you'll be using this very land to make you guys even twice the heroes you were during the USJ attack!"

Aizawa: "You all will be staying at the foot of the mountain about 900 meters in the distance."

Kirishima: "900 meters? That's pretty far."

Bakugo: "Not as far as the distance between Mineta and women! Ha!" [Steps toward] "Hi. How's it going? I'm Bakugo--Mrgh! Mrgh! Mrgh!"

Being proven that simply restraining the boy was not enough, Uraraka now got the help of Kirishima, who quickly wrapped his hands around Bakugo's mouth. This seemed enough to cut any sentence he planned to say short. Such allowed people with more important sentences to continue speaking.

(Y/n): "If the campsite is so far away, how come we stopped here then?"

"Well then, it's a good thing you asked, handsome~"

It was in the brief second that Pixie Bob spoke that out of nowhere she disappeared from the view of everyone at the front of the group. She didn't remaining missing for long, however, when out of nowhere (Y/n) spun his head around to see Pixie Box standing over him. A grin spread across her face as she looked down at (Y/n).

(Y/n): [Thoughts] "So fast? Like a cat!"

Midnight: [Thoughts] "Great! Another needy bitch I gotta worry about!"

Mirko: [Thoughts] "Get away from you him, cat! (Y/n) doesn't like you...He likes me. I made him tell me so!"

All such responses, of course, received no response. Instead, Pixie Bob decided to respond to the original statement in a way that confused a lot of people at first.

Pixie Bob: [Grins] "It's 9:30 a.m. right now. Maybe you'll reach the campsite by noon? And let's just say that kitties who don't make it by 12:30 p.m. won't get lunch. You have ten minutes to prepare."

It was as soon as they heard that time limit that everyone began to prepare for whatever awaited them. One person who wasn't really bothered about much that awaited him, was (Y/n). The young boy now finding himself leaning against the wall of the bus, gently nodding his head to music coming through his earphones, only to be suddenly pulled from such when a voice entered the air.

"...I see Bakugo hasn't changed much over the years, huh?"

(Y/n): "Hmm?"

Turning to his right upon hearing the voice, (Y/n)'s lazy attitude quickly found an awakening when his eyes landed on the person talking to him. Not far away, with a soft smile pressed against their lips, Akiko stood in silence. The short black-haired girl continued to offer her old classmate that same soft smile. One which used to make (Y/n) so happy when he was little. But as most of his life growing up was...He didn't find much happiness now. He returned his facial expressions to give off their based appearance of 'I don't really want to be here'; and 'don't talk to me'. Something Akiko seemed to ignore right about now.

Akiko: [Smiles Brightly] "I mean...When we were younger, it always seemed to be Bakugo pulling you into some antics, right? Though I could always tell you didn't really want to be with him. I mean, he was probably the craziest kid in our class, right?"

(Y/n): [Focusing on the music] "...Uh, huh. Sure."

The ending statement seemed to be quite true for Akiko, who continued to giggle and smile upon thinking over the old memories. However, her actions were abruptly cut off when she opened her eyes to see (Y/n) just blankly looking at her. All without saying a single word. But still enough to end her sentence short.

Akiko: "Um...So? You ended up getting into U.A., huh? That's a pretty big deal, (Y/n). Congrats!"

(Y/n): "...Thanks."

Akiko: "Yeah...I--It's pretty cool, right? I mean...I've only been at this school for a few weeks now. But it seems like everything we thought of when we were kids." [Laughs] "Like--Haha--Do you remember that time our old teacher took us to the Hero Museum in the city, and you got scared by the security guard jumping out in an All Might suit that you started to--"

(Y/n): "--Can I help you with something, Akiko?"

Akiko: "...Huh? What?"

Lifting her head abruptly, Akiko brought forth a face that basically suggested the surprise she felt upon hearing such a reply from (Y/n). Take it as wishful thinking, but Akiko was hoping this first proper conversation between the pair in some time would have gone a little differently. But as (Y/n)'s prolonged gaze continued to linger on her...Akiko realized all she hoped wouldn't be so easily attained.

Akiko: [Smiles hesitantly] "Ugh...Right. Sorry. I guess me suddenly coming up to you is still a little weird, huh?"

(Y/n): "..."

Akiko: [Fiddles with fingers] "I mean, I guess I can't really blame you. Especially after what happened during the Sports Festival with Kaito...and everything else..."

Akiko's gaze once more dropped as her sentence came to a pause. (Y/n) was prepared to keep up his silent act, hoping Akiko would get the point soon enough and just leave him alone. That was until Akiko's sentence resumed.

Akiko: "You know...I gotta admit, when I first saw you fighting in the Sports Festival, I didn't think it was you." Chuckles] "Like, honestly, when I saw you step out in your hero costume for the first time in your fight against Kaito...I know the whole crowd felt a little afraid, but when I saw you dressed like that... For a moment I forgot we were even at a school for heroes."

A stray raise of an eyebrow coming quickly from the young boy. His patience slowly wearing thin...Until it finally broke.

Akiko: "I mean, the (Y/n) I remembered was so soft, and not really wanting to get into a fight. But you--on that day anyway--it looked like you were heading right for it so I--"

(Y/n): "--And what's if I was?"

Akiko: "Huh? Sorry?" [Chuckles hesitantly] "I don't think I understand what you mean...?"

(Y/n): "The fight. What if I was wanting to get into it? What's so wrong with that? It was a Sports Festival, right? You're supposed to fight."

Akiko: "N-No...No. I get that. It's just--What I'm trying to say is th-that the (Y/n) I saw that day--at the sports festival--He just seemed so different from the (Y/n) that I remember and I just couldn't help but notice how you--"

(Y/n): "--How I...What? How I didn't resemble the (Y/n) you knew back in school? How I didn't show any fear? How I wasn't afraid to stand up to a prick like Kaito anymore?"

Akiko: "No. No! None of that. I just--"

(Y/n): "--Or maybe what shocked you the most...was how I didn't give a single shit about your opinion that day. That even though when I first saw you, for the first time after everything, I didn't even bother to say a word to you."

Akiko: "No, I--"

(Y/n): "I mean, what were you expecting, Akiko? You to just come back here, we meet, and what? We'd be friends again?"

Akiko: "...I...I-I...I just..."

Whatever words Akiko was looking for, in this moment, it seemed were lost to history. She couldn't speak. She was too focused on the narrowed gaze. The sharp tone. The complete lack of sympathy for her feelings right now. All of which (Y/n) put on display. In this moment, he didn't appear like any version of the boy she once knew. And (Y/n) made that clear with his next sentence.

(Y/n): "...Yeah, that's what I thought. You've got nothing to say. Not that I should really be surprised. I mean, you can't say nothing now. Just like how you couldn't say anything all those years ago. You know, when Kaito got what he deserved?"

Akiko: "But you attacked Kaito with your Quirk? What was I supposed to--"

(Y/n): "I didn't attack him. I was defending myself! I was defending myself for the first time...after the countless times he attacked me. But did you care about it then?"

Akiko: "I..."

(Y/n): "Did you, Akiko? Did you even bother to say anything when he hurt me? Or...Did you choose to only see what was going on when someone you thought was weak finally stood up for himself?"

Akiko: "(Y/n)...Why are you being so mean to me right now? I just wanted to talk to yo--"

(Y/n): "Talk to me? Akiko, did you ever think for a second that I didn't want to talk to you? Why else do you think I've purposely avoided you? I didn't want to talk to you because finally...FINALLY...I've managed to get some happiness in my life. A life that was torn down once before, only to be torn down further by someone I once thought was my friend."

Akiko: "But I--"

(Y/n): "--But no. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. Of course, as soon as I got happy, you just had to come back into my life. And even more! You come back into my life and say I'm the one being mean! Akiko, I wouldn't be talking to you right now if you just left me alone. But you don't see that because you think you're always in the right!"

Akiko: "I don't always think I'm right, I just--"

(Y/n): "--Just nothing! Did you not think for a moment the reason I haven't spoken to you since you got here was because I didn't want to speak to you?! Or did you even comprehend the fact that I didn't speak to you because I knew if I did I would finally snap because all I think about when I see you is the pain my childhood brought me?! I wasn't being mean for not talking to you, Akiko. I was being kind. Because I was saving you from hearing all I shit I wanted to say to you and Kaito for all the years I was left to bottle it up! So don't blame me because you decided to talk to me now, and didn't get the response you wanted. Because I'm sick and tired of being blamed for things by you."

Akiko: "(Y/n), I didn't blame you for anything! I saw you attack Kaito and--"

(Y/n): "--You saw me attack a bully!"

Those words set off like a gunshot into the air. Previous to them, (Y/n) had managed to keep his voice low. Yet another unworthy gift offered to Akiko by the male so things wouldn't go public and save her the embarrassment (Y/n) felt years ago when the exact opposite happened to him. But it seemed that finally he had reached his breaking point, and with it, came the gazes of countless people gathered around. 

Everyone from Uraraka, to the rest of (Y/n)'s girlfriends, to Bakugo, to the teachers, to Class 1-B, and the Pussycats. All turned in the direction of the bus, where they saw (Y/n) standing before a shocked Akiko who could barely move or say a thing. As for (Y/n), he couldn't stop speaking. Such shouldn't really be a surprise, however...Seeing as everything he was saying now had been stored up for a very long time now.

(Y/n): "Kaito was a bully, Akiko. A no good, smart-ass, spoiled dick who didn't like me just because! But you know what? That's not why I fought back him. I fought back because he decided to run his mouth...About my dead brother. My brother who died in MY arms! What do you expect me to do about that, huh? Let him just keep talking?"

Akiko: "No, of course not! But, (Y/n), you've got to understand as well...Izuku wouldn't want you to hurt Kait--"

(Y/n): "No! Akiko! You've got to understand! My brother's dead! He died because of me! In my arms! Because I was too afraid to fight back that day! But I wasn't afraid that day at school! I was afraid to fight the fucking bully who wouldn't shut about it! Who wouldn't stop reminding me! Who constantly brought up the pain that I'm left to deal with EVERY SINGLE DAY!"

Thunderous amounts of shock immediately rocketed throughout the crowd gathered. Everyone who didn't know of such concerning (Y/n) felt a wave of sorrow and pain that they couldn't quite describe in the moment. As for those that did know, they felt their own pain. Mostly because they couldn't even begin to imagine what (Y/n) felt right now. They knew he was angry. But it was that exact emotion that caused them to truly realise how serious this moment was for him. 

Because it wasn't often when (Y/n) snapped out, or spoke about his brother's death so verbally. Yet here he was. And it was more than enough to leave the Pro Heroes subsided from hearing it all. Amongst the group, a shocked Yaoyorozu and Hagakure turned to Uraraka, unbeknownst that she already knew of (Y/n)'s saddening backstory. But all the brunette could do was continue to look on in sorrow at her boyfriend, as wave after wave of emotion crashed into him from all sides.

(Y/n): "You know what...You were right."

Akiko: [Blinks rapidly] "H-Huh?"

(Y/n): "Before. You know, when you said I attacked Kaito that day. You're right. I didn't defend myself. I was attacking him. And I liked it. But that also adds to something else you said earlier. Remember? When you said you could hardly recognise it was me on that day you saw me fight him during the Sports Festival? That's because...the version of me you knew back then...He died the day his heart broke for the final time. I buried and laid him to rest. Right alongside Izuku. All so I could bring out this version of me. One who won't let himself be pushed around by scum. Or let other innocent people get hurt because of fear or lack of courage. That's because I'm not a hero, Akiko... And I'm not (Y/n) either..."

Akiko: "Then what are you?"

(Y/n): "...I'm all that's left."

It was as that sentence came to an end that (Y/n) turned his back to Akiko. As he did, he returned his earphones back into the grooves of his ears, allowing the music to take over his mind, whilst he began moving through the crowd in front of him. All wanted to say something, but no one did. The teachers tried to. Heck, even Mirko went to reach out for (Y/n). But all the young boy did was continue to walk until he reached the edge of the cliff, the direction in which the campsite awaited him in the far distance...and jumped off without another word. But that couldn't just be said for (Y/n). Everyone else on that cliffside also remained silent. But how could they say a word...after all the words just spoken then?

*******

Silence filled the air at the bottom of the mountain; some thirty meters or so from the cliff in which the bus carrying U.A. students was now parked. However, this silence was suddenly disrupted when out of nowhere an explosion from the earth went off.

CRASH!!

But it wasn't long before it was revealed the cause wasn't some explosion from the Earth, but something was going up against Erath itself. For as the dust cleared around the crater, and the heads of everyone above looked over the edge, they all saw the figure of (Y/n) standing in the middle of the scattered dirt. Unphased with his hands in his school pants as his unrelenting gaze focused directly towards the forest right in front of him. 

It may have seemed like he was focused beyond any point. However, that was far from the truth. The music playing through his earphones right now was all there was to fight against the angry images and thoughts (Y/n)'s mind now carried after everything that just happened. It seemed he needed something more to take his mind off things. Luckily for him, it wasn't long before that something ended up coming (Y/n)'s way. 

Because, you see, simply surviving the fall to the ground below and hiking through the forest towards the campsite wasn't the only test the Pro Heroes had for the students of U.A.. Something (Y/n) was starting to realize, when his gaze happened to capture movement coming from the wall of trees stationed in front of him. At first, these movements came as shadows. But as they got closer, and slowly reached the light, their appearance was finally revealed.

Earth Beasts. That's what these vile creatures were. Monstrous golem-like creatures made of dirt, stone and roots which are capable of fighting on the behalf of their creator, Pixie Bob, who stood atop the cliff alongside everyone else. However, the uncertainty on her face was quick to be seen as she turned to Aizawa.

Pixie Bob: "Are you...Are you really sure about this, Aizawa?"

Mandalay: "She's right, Aizawa. After...whatever just happened, maybe we should--"

Aizawa: "No. Keep going with it. We already had it planned. We're not going to let something like what just happened take this lesson off its rails. Besides...I feel (Y/n) would want it this way." [Turns to his right] "Do you agree?"

Turning to his right, Mirko and Midnight could be seen standing alongside the group. However, the one Aizawa was addressing was the very person who had mentored him just a few weeks prior. Nothing but a nod came from Mirko as she continued to watch the figure of (Y/n) begin to approach the line of trees where the beasts awaited him. But such was all the confirmation Aizawa needed.

Aizawa: "That's what I thought..." [Turns around] "Now then... What are you all still doing here?"

The focus of all students gathered quickly lifted their heads. Before long, fear-filled their systems as they realized they had to go through the same process of jumping off the cliff as (Y/n) had just done. But as the students struggled to even comprehend doing such a thing, meanwhile with (Y/n), his walking pace was quickly beginning to build. Walking turned to jogging before jogging turned to outright running as fast as he could. It was in this same moment that the countless Earth Beasts launched off their feet and took to the ground and air as they charged for the only source of prey before them. 

But what they didn't know was (Y/n) Midoriya wasn't the prey...They were. With his fists clenched and eyes narrowed, the young boy filled with anger and sorrow launched off his feet and drew his fist back. Powerful tendrils of Nightmares and One For All coming together in one union. What happened next, it wasn't exactly certain. But what everyone did know was that right now, the person fighting these beasts wasn't no hero in training. He was just a broken man. And honestly, in a world like the one we live in today...Sometimes that's all the fear you need to birth a nightmare...

--Elsewhere--

Meanwhile, some distance away, back in the city U.A. was stationed next to, within an old building that made itself standout just as much as any other random building, a room that appeared to belong in a bar of all places could be seen dimly lit as a figure sat at the edge of this very bar-like structure. In their hand, a photo of (Y/n) from the Sports Festival could be seen. Seconds after, the thoughts of this figure finally spoke out. Revealing their identity as none other than Tomura Shigaraki...The masked figure who had attacked USJ.

Shigaraki: [Speaking to himself] "...You really do think of yourself as the main character, don't you?"

"You still caught up on him, huh, Tomua Shigaraki...?"

Shigaraki: "Hmm?"

Lifting his head instantly, Shigaraki, along with Kurogiri, turned their focus towards the entrance to this very room they found themselves in, only to be greeted by a strange man with a snarky grin. One perched open, allowing the single cigarette to hang out from his expanded lips. This man, dawning golden glasses, a seemingly expensive purple jacket and white shirt underneath, as well as a scarf around his neck, found no hesitant to enter the room filled with villains. This man was the villain, Giran.

Giran: "You know, you've been the talk of the city for the past few days now." [Grins] "I heard you're staring something big--"

Shigaraki: "And? Who are they?"

He demanded as he used his Quirk to decay the photo of (Y/n) with his palm. Meanwhile, Giran, proceeded to step aside from the entryway to allowing those accompanying him to enter the room. The 'they' Shigaraki was referring to were soon revealed to be a few people. The first being a a reasonably tall, pale young man of slim shape but somewhat muscular build, in his early twenties. Having black hair that spikes upward around his head, hanging low over his eyes, which are thin, turquoise, and heavily lidded. His most striking features are undoubtedly the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that cover much of his lower face and neck. 

Such travels all the way down past his collarbone, below his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms and legs. These appear to be attached to the rest of his skin by multiple crude surgical staples or hoop piercings. He has several silver cartilage piercings in both ears and a triple nostril piercing on the right side of his nose. Upon closer inspection, he also lacks earlobes on both sides of his ears. For clothing he wears a dark blue jacket with a high, ripped collar, matching pants cut off above his ankles, and a pair of dark dress shoes on his feet. He also has a plain pale gray, scoop-neck shirt, below which a gray belt with a circular pattern wraps around his waist, a leather satchel attached at the back.

(???): "So it's you, huh? I saw a picture of you, but you look gross in person..."

Shigaraki: "You look like a living corpse."

(???) #2: "Whoa! It's the Hand Guy!"

Shigaraki: "Hand Guy?"

Turning his gaze to the person standing next to the living corpse was a  fair-skinned girl who had a pretty face. She had inward-tilting yellow eyes with thin slit-like irises, somewhat resembling those of a cat, and her wide mouth was also rather feline, as her canines were pointed and longer than the rest of her teeth, giving her a vampiric appearance. Her hair was a pale, ash-blonde color and was styled into two messy buns, with numerous wild strands sticking out, a straight fringe and two chin-length side bangs framed her face. Her outfit consisted of a plain with a Kansai collar, both the skirt and the shirt dark blue with a double white trim, which was paired with a red scarf that she tied loosely below. Over this, she wore an oversized beige cardigan with a long hem and cuffs, and pockets on either side.

(???) #2: "Tell me! Tell me! You're friends with the great Stain, right? Right? Let me join too! Please!"

Shigaraki: "Let you join? Let you join what exactly?"

(???) #2: "Isn't it obvious..."

"...The League of Villains, of course!!"

--Near The Outer Limits of the City--

But that wasn't all that was going on behind the scenes. Elsewhere, on the outskirts of the city limits, in the Prison known as Tartarus. A place used to hold the most terrifying villains, within the walls was one villain more terrifying than the rest. It was this very villain that now found himself cuffed to a chair, unable to move as his head remained low. It stayed this way even as the door opened and a set of footsteps filled the air. 

Once movement struck the other side of the table between these two parties, this fierce villain lifted his head to reveal the haunting sight of Stain, the Hero Killer! The man (Y/n) had defeated a few weeks back now. With his defeat, and injury he suffered during the event, the villain was caught and sent to Tartarus. But it was only now that he was being left free from his cell, all so he could speak to the person who had come to visit him.

"So, Hero Killer...You said you wanted to speak to me?"

A sinister grin found Stain's lips as his vile tongue slashed from side to side slowly. A final swallow of his saliva followed before his dark red gaze landed on the man across from him. A man soon revealed to be none other than the Number One Hero himself...All Might.

Stain: "Oh...I've been wanting to speak to you for a very long time. I guess you could say, I'm a fan..."

All Might: "A fan? I take pride in my fans and supporters. Your actions bring me no pride."

Stain: "Oh, I'm certain of that, chosen one. But rest assured, I didn't ask you here today to speak to you about that."

All Might: "Then why did you ask me here?"

Stain: "I'm here to talk about the only other person worthy of killing me, of course. The one you have chosen to succeed you. The boy from U.A."

Instantly All Might's eyes snapped open in shock. Perplexed at how Stain knew such a detail. But instead of fully going into that statement, due to the lack of confirmation that Stain was truly speaking fro, knowledge and not assumptions, All Might remained calm as he finally replied.

All Might: "...And who exactly would you be referring to?"

Stain: [Chuckles] "No need to hide things, Chosen one. Your secret is safe with me. Luckily for you, I don't plan on revealing anything. In fact, I want to help you and your little pupil."

All Might: "Help us? Ha! What on earth could you possibly help with?"

Stain: "You'd be surprised. But as I believe simple words won't do much for me in this case, let me say it like this..."

Out of nowhere, Stain's gaze narrowed. His personality taking a serious approach. His eyes clawing at the focus of the Number One Hero in front of him with ease.

Stain: "A war is coming, All Might. A war that even you may not be able to handle. But your pupil...The one who defeated me...He might just be able to. But not alone..."

All Might: "Alone? No one is ever alone when they're a hero, Stain."

Stain: "Yes, but...This one isn't exactly the usual hero, is he~"

As the seconds built up, All Might felt his anger growing. Doing his best to contain himself, All Might merely clenched his fist underneath the table set within the dimly lit room, as he got to the point.

All Might: "What are you trying to say, Stain?"

Stain: "I say what I say. A war is coming. One the boy will not be able to win with you as a teacher, I am afraid."

All Might's grip on his fist tightened, as Stain's grin grew.

Stain: "But what's if he were to have...Two teachers~ One from the side of the hero. And one from the side of, well...True Justice."

All Might: "What are you trying to say, Stain?"

Stain: "I'm saying, All Might..."

"...How about a team-up?"
