35 USJ (1)

The very next day that the school was breached, the teachers decided to hold a practical for rescue operations.

"If I didn't know that these guys are heroes, then I would call them overconfident."

It was amazing how no one except me, even noticed that strange man from yesterday. I had an inkling to his identity but my memories were too blurry to confirm it.

'He could be Shigaraki, the main villain of this series but... It's hard to say since he wasn't wearing a hand on his face.'

How else could you differentiate Shigaraki Tomura from others without his hand-fashion?

"What are you talking about, Extra!??"

Katsuki was glaring at me. I didn't want to sit next to him but all the seats on this bus were taken.

"Sorry, I'm not Deku, Boom-Boom."

"Why would I want to sit with Deku!?? And don't call me 'Boom-Boom', Extra!"

And the water spray attack greatly damaged me. 

Wiping off the spit on my face, I sighed inwardly.

- Ding!

After an angry spit bath, it was expected of the great system to show up, creating more anxiety.

[The USJ Rescue!]

It was a similar plot where the world's safest school is attacked again and again, only standing true to its name in the final fight, where it emerges undamaged.

And because the end of the plot wasn't in sight, U. A. High wasn't safe in the least.

But it was also a chance since I could confirm whether the man I saw was Tomura or not. 

'Glorious Death System, is this an emergency?'

[Host is adviced to go all out!]

After all, there was the Anti-Symbol of Peace coming. It was the very first Nomu Vs Almight fight.

I shook my head while playing around with the key in my pocket. Ready to abandon the weights at the right opportunity.

The wry smile on my face made Momo and Mina move away. They were willing to stand during the whole ride.

"By the way, Izuku-chan, your powers are really similar to Almight, Ribbit!"

Tsuyu glanced at the Izuku, like she was L and he was Kir-Ahem! Wrong world.

"H-huh-huh?! Wh-what d-d-do-"

"HAH!? Deku's quirk is like Almight's!? Don't joke around, he's even weaker than me!!"

Katsuki saved the day by blowing up. Though the timing of his words made it seem like he was saving Izuku.

"Hm~ That's true. Almight doesn't harm himself when he fights."

Eijiro nodded along while I glanced at Katsuki.

"What are you looking at!? Huh!!"

"Nothing~"

He probably knew the secret since the Katsuki and Izuku of this world were closer than the original.

Everybody was wearing their hero costumes so they could fight to their best abilities, makes you wonder how strong the plot actually is? Wouldn't it better for the villains to take them out one-by-one when they aren't wearing costumes?

Anyway, the villains were smart too. They caused a scene the day before but didn't actually do anything, making the heroes lower their guard. 

Since nothing was stolen, the teachers believed that the schedule wouldn't be spread but it was just a smoke-screen because the villains already had a spy inside.

'I still don't remember who it was. The invisible girl or the shiny, lazer boy.'

It was easier to beat the both of them up but heroes couldn't do that.

"We're here."

Aizawa stood up from his seat and walked out of the bus. Everybody followed him, with great vigor. Excited to learn new things and train themselves.

Outside the bus, there was a huge dome-like structure built to simulate all kinds of things inside it.

"Welcome, Aizawa-sensei and Class 1-A."

When entering the dome, an astronaut suit greeted the students. Kurose Anan, Aka the Thirteen, built this Unforseen Simulation Joint to train future heroes.

It could be seen that she really cared about her students. Prepping them up for different situations.

"After the quirk-apprehension test that Aizawa-sensei took, you must have understood the limits of your quirks. In this society, there is a heavy emphasis put on the restriction of quirks as loss of control on your quirk for even a moment can lead to death or injury.

But I'm going to teach you to use your quirks to save people!"

Many cadets were glowing up as they heard the speech. But there was a certain weirdo, who had his hands in the pockets of his tracksuit. Which definitely wasn't worthy of being called a hero suit.

"Sensei, you said that quirks can kill people if you lost control for even a second. What if one can do so without any quirk?"

Honestly, my body was a weapon. Unless a pro hero or a strong villain showed up, I wouldn't even need to use 'Hachimon Tonkou'.

"U-um..."

Flustered by the question, Thirteen glanced at Aizawa. 

'What did you bring?', was what her eyes conveyed.

"Ha~ Alright, question time is over. We shall get ready to-"

Aizawa stopped mid-speech as he looked at one direction.

"Woah! What is that?"

"A test? Some kind of a robot?"

Near the fountain in the middle of the facility, a purple mist rose up. And with it came many villains. Shigaraki Tomura was leading a Nomu as he glanced at the direction of the heroes.

"Weren't we told that Almight would come? Where is he!?"

"He must have been a bit late."

The purple mist answered. His name was Kurogiri, one of the few High-End Nomus with the ability to teleport.

"I wonder if he will arrive sooner if we kill a few students?"

Tomura's hoarse voice resounded all the way over to the heroes.

"Go and kill them all!"

At his signal, all the villains ran forward. 

"Huh!? They're villains!?"

"What are villains doing at U.A. High!?"

The cadets were confused while Aizawa gripped his scarf and ready to hold the villains back.

"Thirteen, take care of the students!"

As he was about to jump in, a hand gripped his scarf and pulled him back.

"Don't be hasty, Sleepworm. Imagine what kind of damage that teleporter would do to the students if you're not present. Stay here!"

The cold and rational words made Aizawa understand the seriousness of the purple mist. That villain could literally kill anybody with a surprise attack and there was only one counter to it right now.

Aizawa's [Eraser] that had the power to erase quirks as long as he stared at them.

- Click!

I unlocked the bracelets with a devilish smirk.

"Let the pros handle this, Sleepworm."

"Stay here, Anzai!"

Before Aizawa could stop me, I already dashed in the middle of the villains.

"Haha! The heroes have fallen to be protected by a stu-"

- Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

The biggest and tallest villains were taken down by some projectiles. No, they weren't projectiles but bracelets, each weighing 40 kg. 

The villains who were hit became incapacitated while the others became cautious. 

"Gate of Life, Open!"

A white mist circled around my body as I opened the first three gates in one go, making my skin slightly red.

- Boom! Boom! Boom!

No villain could even see the shadow of the attack, being knocked out in one kick.

"Let me fight him! My quirk is [Barricade]!"

A bluish villain jumped forward, creating a strange blue barrier around him.

"Diligent Ant!"

Sadly for him, his quirk couldn't match the strength or the speed of his opponent. At the last moment, he only caught a glimpse of the hero cadet.

Slightly red skin, smoke escaping the parted lips, standing hair and a scary smile.

'Demon....'

Like a demon from hell, I reaped the villains, knocking them out but breaking a lot of bones in the process.

"Kurogiri, Kurogiri!"

"Yes?"

"Who's that monster!?"

Tomura was angry at cadet who messed up his 'army'.

"He's Anzai Masato, Roll No. 19."

Of all the information that they collected, quirks weren't included and hence, they didn't know the true strength of any student.

"These chumps can't hold a candle to him. Take out the Nomu!"

"What about Almight then?"

Nomu was an ace in the hole, kept only for Almight. If his abilities were known beforehand, then counter-measures could be found easily.

"It doesn't matter. Nomu will kill him in an instant."

As I was fighting the villains, I noticed that a lot of them couldn't use quirks. Aizawa's ability was really suited for support. 

With each kick, two villains bit the dust. 

***

Near the entrance, Aizawa, Thirteen and Class 1-A were also facing some villains but Shoto easily overpowered them all.

Only frozen sculptures were left as a reminder. To never mess with the cold boy.

"TCH! Those bastard's taking away all the spotlight! MY spotlight!!"

Katsuki was pissed at Shoto and Masato as he didn't get to fight any villain.

"Are those two really students like us?"

"Forget Todoroki-san, I didn't know Anzai-kun was that strong."

Soon, the heavy atmosphere calmed down as the students realized that they were safe.

"Aizawa, are those two really your students?"

Was it because either of the two could kill Aizawa easily that Thirteen didn't believe the fact?

"Ha~ They are just troublemakers."

Aizawa said that while his eyes were glowing red. Though he couldn't see Masato, he could guess where he was and aimed his quirk at the nearby villains. Helping that young student of his.

"It's almost done... But I have a really bad feeling about this."

The sleepyhead was right as the big Nomu started moving.

- Boom!

When only a few villains were left, Masato's kick was blocked by a mass of black skin.

'Nomu?'

He jumped back but the Nomu was faster, kicking him. Masato blocked the kick with his hands and tilted his body, curling his legs in. He got blown upwards and rotated midair a few times, to redirect the force of the kick before landing safely.

Almost all the force of the kick dissipated but his hands were trembling because of the pain.

"This thing might just fulfill my life-long wish. Gate of Pain, Gate of Limit, Open!"

Though he might die, Masato seemed exihilarated at the thought of death. It would only be a bit regretful that he did not die by the hands of AFO.

Anyway, with all 5 gates open, Masato could outspeed the Nomu.

- Woosh!

Nomu arrived before him and started pummelling the ground he stood on.

"Elegant Swan."

As the first punch was in his reach, Masato jumped up, tilting his body slightly to the right, and blocked it with one palm. Because his body was tilted and in air, the punch's force was lead towards rotation and didn't harm his palm.

After his body almost completed a round, his leg was lifted up. All the force of the Nomu's punch was shifted to that leg, which hit the Nomu's chin.

Since even 5 gates couldn't overpower Nomu, it was better to use its own strength against it. The Nomu head was tilted but it punched again.

As if its body didn't even register the damage, its punches were unending.

Each hit was redirected towards the Nomu, using Masato's body as a medium. A right punch was returned using the left leg. The left punch was kneed in its face. 

Analyzing everything about its opponent, the Nomu adapted.

And it started kicking.
