Chapter 41
Once again, I glanced at my suit – armor, if you want to label it that way. The attire was a fusion of metal plates interwoven with specialized fibers.
The material they used was sort of like clothing, yet not exactly. It had to strike a balance between flexibility and protection.
"Looking good, future heroes," All Might's voice suddenly echoed, and he directed his thumb upward towards our costumes while maintaining his trademark grin.
"Well then, for this exercise, you'll all be divided into pairs and pitted against another duo. One pair as heroes and the other as villains. following that, you'll engage in two-on-two indoor battles,"
All Might's excitement was palpable. He went on to explain that the villains would be safeguarding a mock nuclear warhead on the upper floors of a building,
while the heroes' objective would be to incapacitate the villains or gain control of the simulated bomb.
All Might's hearty voice resonated through the training grounds as he gathered the teams together, his enthusiasm infectious even in a situation as serious as this exercise.
As he announced the pairs, my attention was drawn to the anticipation on Momo's face. She seemed eager yet composed, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of anticipation myself.
"Alright, young heroes! Listen closely!"
All Might's voice boomed, capturing the attention of everyone present.
"For this exercise, you'll need to work together as a team, utilizing your individual strengths to achieve the goal. Remember, in the world of heroes, cooperation is key!"
His words hit home, reminding me of the essence of heroism itself. I
It wasn't just about individual power, but about working in harmony to protect and serve.
Momo and I exchanged a brief glance, sharing a mutual understanding of the task that lay ahead.
"All right, without further ado, let me announce the pairs!"
All Might declared, his smile unchanging. He began listing the pairs one by one, and the anticipation grew.
My heart raced a little faster as I waited to hear who my partner would be.
"And finally, paired together are…" All Might's voice trailed off for a moment, as if building suspense. "Kai and Momo!"
"All right, heroes! Suit up in your Hero costumes and head out to Ground Beta!"
All Might's voice snapped me out of my thoughts. It was time to put our skills to the test, to work as a team and prove our abilities.
The first fight was suppose to be between Izuku Midoriya and Uraraka Ochako (Hero Team) VS Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida (Villian Team).
well I changed the timelines so it was mezo and uraraka instead,
bakugo team end up winning the battle
Observing the battle, it became evident that Bakugo and Iida were a formidable team.
Their tactics and coordination showed their experience and synergy.
As the fight unfolded, Bakugo's explosive quirk and Iida's speed seemed to complement each other perfectly.
Their relentless attacks and strategic maneuvers had a clear impact on the outcome of the battle.
The echoes of explosions and the whirl of Iida's engines filled the air as they clashed with Mezo and Uraraka.
Despite their efforts, Mezo and Uraraka found themselves on the back foot, struggling to keep up with the pace set by their opponents.
It was a tense and exhilarating exchange, a display of powers and strategies converging.
When Bakugo and Iida emerged victorious, a sense of accomplishment radiated from them.
All Might's voice cut through the aftermath, prompting the participants to reflect on their experiences.
Momo, true to her reputation as a prodigious intellect, eagerly shared her insights on the battle. Her thoughtful analysis painted a picture of the lessons that could be gleaned from observing the battle tactics of others
As the battles unfolded, the second fight echoed the canon sequence: Shoto Todoroki and hanta against Toru Hagakure and Mashirao Ojiro.
I watched it half-heartedly, as it followed a predictable path. It wasn't arrogance that led me to shift my focus; it was simply that this outcome was etched in my memories. It was a mere formality.
But then, the third fight brought a novel element. Fumikage Tokoyami and Tsuyu Asui teamed up against Eijiro Kirishima and Hanta Sero.
It was a match not depicted in the anime, and that piqued my interest.
Observing their strategic plays and dynamic teamwork, I could see the hero team's ingenuity shining through.
Their well-coordinated efforts led to their victory, adding another layer of diversity to the training.
The anticipation built as the fourth fight, my fight with Momo, drew closer. Stepping into the building, I felt a surge of excitement mixed with a hint of nervousness.
The mission was clear: protect the nuclear bomb. I glanced at Momo, a partner I hadn't anticipated being paired with, yet I couldn't deny that I was pleased with this twist.
Momo and I stood on the battlefield, the lingering energy of our recent victory still in the air. As the adrenaline ebbed away, she turned to me, a question in her eyes.
"So, you're Kai, right?"
Momo's voice held a curious tone as she looked at me, her expression open and friendly.
I nodded with a small smile. "Yeah, that's me. And I'm guessing you're Momo?"
Momo chuckled softly, her smile warming. "You guessed right. It's nice to finally have a chance to talk properly."
"Likewise," I replied, genuinely appreciating the chance to interact beyond the chaos of the challenge. "That was some impressive teamwork we displayed back there."
Momo's cheeks tinged with a faint blush, but she carried herself with grace. "Thank you. I believe efficient teamwork is crucial for situations like this."
I nodded in agreement. "Definitely. So, what's the plan for our turn in the challenge?"
Momo's expression turned thoughtful as she considered the question.
"Well, considering the circumstances and the area, I think we should focus on strategic positioning. We'll need to ensure we can cover as much ground as possible and respond quickly to any changes."
I listened intently, impressed by her analytical approach. "Sounds like a solid plan. I'm on board."
Momo's smile grew more confident. "Great. Let's work together to secure the bomb and anticipate any potential moves from the opposing team."
As our discussion continued, I found myself drawn into Momo's strategic mindset.
Her insights were invaluable, and her ability to adapt her plans to fit the situation was remarkable.
We discussed various scenarios, potential challenges, and how to effectively use our Quirks in conjunction to maximize our advantage.
hrough our conversation, I learned more about Momo's dedication to honing her skills and her commitment to becoming a hero.
Her humility and intelligence shone through as we brainstormed strategies together.
It was clear that she had a deep understanding of her own capabilities and how they could complement mine.
"Alright, so we'll take a defensive stance near the bomb,"
Momo summarized, confidence evident in her words.
I nodded, impressed by her clarity. "That sounds like a plan we can execute effectively. Let's make sure we secure our position."
