Trial of Battle 2
"LET'S SEE WHAT YOU'RE MADE OF, YOU EMBRYOS! IT'S TIME FOR THE TRIAL OF BATTLE!"
All Might then started to explain how the trial will go down which took a few minutes as he answered some of their questions. Then, it was time to pick the times via lottery.
Team A - Deku and Ochako
Team B - Todoroki and Mezo
Team C - Haru and Momo
Team D - Bakugo and Iida
Team E - Mina and Aoyama
Team F - Sato and Koda
Team G - Jiro and Denki
Team H - Tokoyami and Tsuyu
Team I - Hagakure and Ojiro
Team J - Kirishima and Hanta
With the teams selected, All Might picked from two lottery boxes on who'll be the villains and the heroes. Just like in canon, Team A was going against Team D. Since Haru hasn't changed anything yet, the battle went exactly as how he remembered it. Team A won and Deku got sent to Recovery Girl. All Might went to the site while everyone marveled at their battle. As soon as All Might asked if anyone knew why Iida was the MVP, the resident Ojou-sama showed her big brain.
(A-Note: I won't lie, when I saw how long her speech was, I immediately skipped it.)
Team A (Heroes) vs Team D (Villains)
Winner: Team A
What happened in the next battle was sad. Ojiro, Toru, and Mezo didn't do anything. Todoroki just froze the whole building.
Team B (Heroes) vs Team I (Villains)
Winner: Team B
When they got back, Haru removed his robe and gave it to Toru who was still shivering.
"T-Thanks, T-Torino-kun!"
Haru leaned into Toru's ears but to the others, it looked like he just leaned forward.
"It's kind of sad that I wouldn't be able to see your body anymore~"
Haru whispered, causing her to shiver again but this time due to his words and hot breath tickling her ears. She visibly blushed and didn't say anything, just lowering her head, and looking at the ground.
The trials continued and Team H was the heroes while Team J was the villains. Hanta covered the whole room where the bomb was with his tape and the two waited for Tsuyu and Tokoyami. Dark Shadow had to fight Kirishima while Tsuyu jumped around, passing through the tape with finesse while dodging more tape that was coming from Hanta.
As the battle resumed, All Might stood beside Haru which surprised the others.
"So, Haru-kun... How's the old man?"
This surprised everyone more.
"He's doing fine, Tosh- Ehem... I mean All Might-sensei. Though he grumbles about you not visiting him."
All Might laughed at that while remembering his teacher. He shook his head and said
"Well, I was very busy these few months."
"Yep, I saw in the news. Together with Deku-kun and Kacchan over there here."
Bakugo glared at Haru but didn't do anything.
All Might sighed while watching the fight on the big screen.
"That incident was too close for comfort. If I didn't arrive on time, things would have gotten worse."
Haru nodded and the two went silent. Bakugo was clenching his fists and gritting his teeth. Not only did he lose to Deku, but he also remembered his weakness during that time. The others were wondering what was the relationship between All Might and Haru as they looked to be close, talking comfortably to each other.
The battle between Tokoyami and Kirishima was in a stalemate while Hanta's elbows were hurting and his skin was drying. In the end,
Tsuyu juked the shit out of him and managed to secure the bomb.
Team H (Heroes) vs Team J (Villains)
Winner: Team H
"Well, it's our turn. See ya later, Uncle~"
Haru decided to tease All Might and his classmates. All Might sweatdrop when he felt a lot of eyes that were filled with curiosity looking at him.
'Uncle? Are they related?'
'Hmmm... All Might has a nephew?'
'All Might... Haru...'
'Doesn't my cape look shiny?'
Those were the thoughts going through their heads.
When Haru and Momo left the building, he decided to cast [Find Steed]. He raised his staff a bit and tapped the butt on the ground.
A pure white-coated elk appeared out of thin air with pink and red petals floating around. The animal was fairly big, enough for two people to ride on its back. It stood there proudly before looking at Haru and lowering its head. Haru gave it head pats which it enjoyed quite a bit. Momo was shocked out of her mind together with everyone in the viewing room. Cameras were looking at them from everywhere after all.
-
"A-Ah big deer!"
Mina shouted in surprise.
"T-That's not a deer, that's an elk..."
Koda said in a surprisingly loud voice. Everyone could feel the amazement and appreciation in his voice.
"I-It's big..."
Jiro murmured.
"Where did he even get that thing?"
Todoroko questioned.
'Haaah... You are pulling more tricks out your sleeve, Haru-kun.'
All might said in his mind.
-
"Need a ride?"
Haru asked the open mouth Momo. She nodded absentmindedly. Haru pointed his staff at her. He used [Levitate] on her, levitating her a few meters off the ground, and cast [Gust of Wind] from her back. That got her out of her wandering mind.
"W-What are you doing?!"
Haru moved the wind in such a way that she ended up sitting behind him.
"Let's go then."
The elk walked forward at moderate speed. Momo caressed its coat as she rode on the back.
"So soft..."
Haru heard her mutter. The elk also seemed to have heard her as it let out some air from its nostrils as if saying
"Of course, it's my coat."
They arrived at building C moments later.
Momo and Haru jumped off, he offered the elk some berries, [Goodberry], and unsummoned it. It turn into petals and got blown by the wind. The two went in and prepared for All Might's go.
"Should I just end it quickly or should we play around for a bit?"
Haru asked Momo who looked dryly at him.
"Play around? Haaah~ Let's finish this quickly. What's the plan?"
Haru grinned evilly.
"Here's the plan..."
-
All Might was a bit scared when he heard his nephew's? plan. It was... He should just hope that Jiro and Denki don't get traumatized.
-
"{Start!!!!}"
All Might's voice echoed around Ground Beta.
Denki and Jiro walked carefully inside the building, looking around for traps.
"It's safe here..."
Denki said to Jiro who responded with a nod as she struck the walls with her jacks.
"Ohhh... Someone's eavesdropping~"
Her eyes widen as she heard Haru's voice.
Then, all the noise disappeared.
"They know that I can hear them, the noise-"
Jiro looked back toward Denki to see.. no one.
She didn't see the doorway either. It was a wall.
"Uhh... What the hell..."
She walked over and touched the wall. It was solid.
She started to panic as she hears whispering coming from the hallway in front of her.
Jiro shook her head and steeled herself as she investigated. What she saw shook her entire being.
Denki was blended into a wall... a wall of flesh. Jiro was disturbed and disgusted. She ran towards Denki who was barely awake.
"Kaminari-kun! What the heck happened!"
She tried looking for a way to get Denki out.
"J-Jiro? R-Run! Get out of here!"
Denki suddenly jolted and screamed at Jiro.
"What?! Let me get you out first!"
She started looking around the fleshly wall more frantically but she stopped when she saw that Denki was getting sucked in.
"Ahhhh!!!! Mommy, helpppp!!!"
Denki shouted out while Jiro tried to stop whatever it is happening by pulling on Denki's clothes. It didn't help however as soon Denki was gone. Jiro looked tired and troubled. The fleshly wall started turning into concrete.
"Wow~ What now, hero? Couldn't save your friend? Hmmmm~?"
Haru's voice sounded behind her, she quickly turned around and saw Haru smiling at her.
"You... What did you do to Kaminari?!"
"Heh... Hehehe~ Why should I tell you, hero?"
That stunned Jiro. Right, this guy should be a villain. She just needs to beat him and get the answers that way.
Haru twirled his staff around and took a stance. He taunted Jiro by doing a "Come at me" gesture. She dashed towards Haru but immediately had to dodge a swing of his staff. She rolled to the side and extended her earphone jacks towards him like a spear.
They stopped just in front of him like it was stopped by a wall. Haru decided to press on the attack and swung his staff in her direction. Jiro got hit by it in her side but Haru was controlling his strength so he wouldn't hurt his classmate much. She skidded a few meters away and stood up. Their martial battle continued for a few minutes with Jiro getting more tired. Haru then stopped and backed off, he looked upwards towards the ceiling and smiled.
"Well, thanks for the spar hero, but it seems I need to end this."
Haru pointed his staff at her and her body stopped moving.
"W-What did you do to me?!"
Haru walked over and started tying her up in a quite questionable way with the capturing tape. Jiro didn't notice though.
"Capture complete!"
He carried Jiro on his shoulder which caused the tomboyish girl to blush.
"D-Did you have to carry me like this?"
Haru stopped and looked at her for a moment.
He moved his hands around her and carried her differently but it only made Jiro release some hot air from her blushing face.
"N-Not a princess carry, bastard!"
Haru didn't reply and only smiled teasingly at her as he cast some healing spells on her.
At the same time that happened, Denki was running from a group of grotesque, skinny, deformed, demons.
"Ahhh!!!! Pleaseeee!!!! Heeeeellppp!!!!!"
A few minutes ago, when Denki walked in front of Jiro as she struck the wall with her quirk, he wondered what was taking her so long so he turned back and saw the same thing as Jiro. A wall. That spooked the shits out of him and he started releasing some electricity. He touched the wall behind him and confirmed that it was real. With no choice, Denki walked forward. He spent a good 5 minutes moving around until he turned a corner and saw carnage. Bodies were butchered, like cattle, and were being eaten by grotesque, deformed, skinny demons.
He let out a small squeak. The demons heard him though and turned their heads simultaneously towards him. His eyes widen in fright as the demons started running towards him. In a panic, he ran back through the hallways and started screaming like a little girl. If he looked closely though, the demons weren't solid, they looked more like illusions. The "bodies" earlier were just like he thought. Cattle. He was too focused on the blood on the floor and the demons.
He ran for his life, at least from his perspective, until he reached the room where the bomb was. The room was bright as the light came through the windows, unlike the dark hallways. He saw Momo there prepared to fight him with a metal pipe. Denki then looked back and saw that there weren't any demons.
"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!"
He yelled at Momo who showed an evil? smile
"Fufufu~ You're the only one left, Kaminari-san~"
She then rushed toward Denki, but he wasn't going to run this time so he slapped the ground with both of his hands.
"Indiscriminate Shock 1.3 Million Volts!"
Electricity came out of his hands and onto the ground which traveled everywhere.
He was still outputting electricity and wasn't short-circuiting yet so he saw that Momo was still running in his direction, unaffected.
She jumped and bonked him in the head, which sent to teen rolling on the ground. Denki's expression turned idiotic, same with his smile. Momo then used the capturing tape around Denki.
Then, All Might's voice resounded in Ground Beta again.
"{E-Ehem... Team C wins!}"
All Might said with a shaky voice.
