2 The Battle Trials!

In the cafeteria, Alyx decided to sit by himself, until he heard someone sit down in front of him as he was eating.

"Hey, I couldn't help but notice you were sitting here by yourself. Meals do tend to taste better when eating with another! Do you mind if I accompany you?" Yaoyorozu smiled.

"Sure, I guess."

The two ate together in silence, Momo looked over at Alyx, a question was nagging at her mind.

"Alyx... I don't mean to pry, but why did you say your Quirk was useless? Is there something wrong?" She asked.

Leonidus looked down at the table, "They're useless because... Back when I lived in America, I fell in love with a girl, her name was Laura. We were in Las Vegas when... When my grandmother decided to attack, I tried my best to save everyone but... I-I just couldn't. I was too worthless to even stand up and defend myself, and for that... She's dead. This scar on my eye? It's a constant reminder of that failure, a reminder of how useless my Quirks and I are."

"That incident shouldn't dictate whether you're useless or not, Alyx. Any and all Quirks have their uses, regardless of how minor they might be. You placed 1st in our Quirk Apprehension Test, that's something you should be proud of, and it's all thanks to your Quirk. There's one thing I've understood when it comes to Pro Heroes, it's that you can't save everyone, no matter what kind of Quirk you have."

Leonidus expression changed to a face of realization. He recalled something that Laura told him before her death.

"You know, sometimes I wish everyone could be saved, just like what you were saying. But that's just wishful thinking! Honestly, as harsh as death is, it can give someone a means to grow stronger. Hell, it can even give someone the ability to kick anyone's ass!"

Alyx gently smiled at Yaoyorozu as he looked up at her. Momo was a bit shocked to see a smile on his face.

"Thank you, Momo." He softly spoke.

"O-Oh, no problem!"

"I think... I'd like to eat with you again. If that's fine."

Momo smiled back at him, "Of course, I'd love to, Alyx."

"Yo! Yaoyorozu!" A boy shouted.

Alyx and Yaoyorozu looked over to see a blonde hair boy walking over to them. He sat down next to Leonidus with a tray full of food.

"I would've been here sooner, but there's some girl just kinda standing there in the lunch line. Anyways, you're that Leonidus kid, right? Name's Denki Kaminari!" He beamed.

"It's nice to meet you."

"So, what's your Quirk? I've never seen anything like it after that ball throw today!"

"Well, I actually have two Quirks. Overdrive being the one I used today and another one called 'Rage'. My Overdrive is an Emitter type Quirk, it has up to Six Gears, which are comprised of their own levels of speed and strength. I can only go up to Two Gears including my Base Mode, but I've been training to get up to Gear Three. I've got various techniques to add onto it, but that'd be a different story."

Alyx closed his eyes and two red and black arms slowly appeared behind him, "And this... Is my second Quirk, 'Rage'. This one here's a Transforming type of Quirk. The angrier I get, the more damage I can take, and the more pain I can inflict onto my opponents. I can also sprout up to six of these arms as well. Although I rarely use this Quirk, since I'm never really angry, kind of ironic right?"

"Holy shit... That's super cool, bro!"

"Yes, I do agree with you! Those are rather unique; I can't say I've seen Quirks like yours before." Momo agreed.

Alyx looked to his right and saw a couple others standing next to him, admiring his Rage arms.

"You guys... Aren't scared of this?" Alyx questioned.

"Hell no! This is super cool! I'm Mina Ashido by the way, and these things are adorable!" Mina bubbled.

The other boy nodded, "Yeah! That red is super manly! My name's Eijiro Kirishima, you've got some dope ass Quirks, man."

In the distance, Shota Aizawa looked on as he saw the students talking to Alyx, he smiled to himself as he and the others saw a small change in personality.

"Hopefully they're able to do it. Every year, Class 1-A never ceases to amaze me with how kind they are. I just hope he's finally feeling at home." He muttered.

After lunch, the students were tasked with heading to their locker rooms for their first Heroics Class. Katsuki walked over to Leonidus and stared at him with disgust.

"That little showing of yours, it means nothing, I'm top dog here. Got that?" Bakugo fumed.

"I don't have time for this..."

"Huh? Speak up, if you're gonna act all weak, then I won't hesitate to-"

Leonidus turned around and grabbed Bakugo's shirt by his collar, "Don't you dare try and talk to me unless you've been through what I've gone through, got that?!"

The room was silent, everyone's eyes were on Alyx and Katsuki. The girls in the other locker room stopped what they were doing to listen in.

"Do you have any idea what I've went through? My life has been a living hell, even though I come from a popular family, it's been nothing but fucking hell! My Quirks... They're the reason why I've lost so damn much! I never had a childhood like any of you did, I was training nonstop in order to try and survive attacks from my grandmother and her group of killers. She sealed an evil spirit inside of me, her own Grandson, and it tried to take over my body! But I finally found peace after all that time, just for it to get blown away from me again!"

"My first girlfriend, the one I swore to protect, was killed by my grandmother. Not to mention my own Brother followed after her like a goddamn puppy dog, someone I've looked up to since I was little! Everyone I've ever gotten close to has been hurt or killed! I know I'm weak, I know..."

He let go of Bakugo's shirt before sitting down, holding his head in his hands. As the school day came to an end, Leonidus walked out of U.A. with his newly made group of friends. As they all parted ways, he looked over to his right, he noticed that Izuku was walking alongside with him.

"Oh, do you take this road to get home as well?" Izuku wondered.

"Yeah, I actually live close by."

He shifted his bag a bit, "Hey, uh... Izuku? I'm sorry for that outburst today in the locker room. I just... I guess I've been held up by some things that's happened to me. I should've communicated that instead of bottling it up. I have to apologize to Iida and Bakugo as well."

"Oh, no need to apologize! I understand and I'm certain Iida will too, I don't know if Kacchan will though. So, about your Quirk, how does it work exactly?"

"Basically, I have to utilize my breathing in order to maintain it! I'm currently studying something called 'Total Concentration Breathing' to improve it. The max amount of time I can use my Overdrive is about 30 minutes. It rattles my blood and can make my muscles and bones go 'Boom Boom'! That's when I gotta stop what I'm doing and fix my breathing! My arms and legs tend to lock up if I overuse my Overdrive Quirk as well!"

Izuku blinked a few times, "๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฌ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฆ๐˜ธ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ธ๐˜ข๐˜ด ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ ๐˜ค๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ท๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ญ..."

"That's pretty cool! So, it works only if you're able to breathe? Does that mean you can't use your Quirk underwater or in areas with dense smoke?"

"I can but only for a short amount of time, typically a few minutes or so, that is. That's why my second Quirk, Rage, is super effective in close range scenarios like that."

The two talked back and forth, Alyx unintentionally walked to Izuku's home! He looked around and noticed that they were standing in front of an apartment building.

"Oh... It looks like I walked home with you! I'm gonna head back to my home now, it was nice talking with you, Izuku!" Alyx chuckled.

"Yeah! See you tomorrow, Alyx!"

Leonidus began walking back towards his home. He looked down at his hand, clenched it, then smiled.

"๐˜”๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ๐˜บ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ณ๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต, ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜บ๐˜ฃ๐˜ฆ ๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฐ๐˜ต ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜ข๐˜ง๐˜ต๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜ข๐˜ญ๐˜ญ." He thought to himself.

As he entered town, he heard a small commotion coming from a nearby alleyway, he looked in to see a behemoth of a man threating a student.

"Just leave me alone! I-I don't have anything you need!" She protested.

Alyx recognized the girl's voice as his classmate's voice, Momo Yaoyorozu. The man walking towards her was known as Habit Headgear.

"I know that smell, you're filthy rich! It's a shame I'll hafta kill ya! Can't have nobody tellin' the police about what happened here."

Alyx pulled his Star and Stripe hoodie out of his backpack and quickly put it on. Sneaking into the alleyway from the back. Momo was stiff with fear as Headgear lifted up his giant arm, ready to kill. Leonidus jumped into the air, driving his foot into Habit Headgear's weakspot, planting him face first into the ground. Yaoyorozu gasped as she remembered the hooded vigilante from years prior.

"๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ด๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ... ๐˜๐˜ต'๐˜ด ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ! ๐˜‰๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ?" She thought.

Habit Headgear was out cold, Alyx hopped off of him, Momo wasn't sure what to think at that point. Leonidus held his hand out to her, she took it, he helped her stand up. Amatsu spoke for him to avoid revealing his identity.

"Are you alright?"

"Y-Yeah, I think so. I... Thank you, again."

"Would you like me to walk you home? Just in case, you know?"

Momo nodded at him, they left the scene before the police or other Pro Heroes could arrive. As they walked down the street, Momo tried to get a good look at him, but couldn't see anything from the darkness surrounding his face.

"May I ask something?"

"Indeed, go ahead."

"Who are you? I thought you were in America... Wait... You're...!"

Alyx chuckled as he took his hood off, "You got me good! Just a super old gimmick of mine back in the day, I can say that, right?"

"You... You saved me, remember?"

"Huh? I did? I don't really remember."

"We'll have to discuss it some other time, I'll keep this a secret between us."

Meanwhile, back at U.A., Aizawa sat in the conference room by himself going over the students' test results. The door slid open, and All Might stood in the doorway.

"Aizawa, how'd it go?" All Might wondered.

"So far, so good, I guess. That Midoriya kid seems to have some promise, even though he placed last. Tomorrow will be different though, you'll be conducting that combat training, right?"

"Indeed! Hopefully it goes well."

Shota didn't say anything after his comment. All Might took the notion to leave the room, as he shut the door, he let out a sigh of relief.

"Managed to somewhat impress ole' Aizawa, eh? Good work, Young Midoriya." All Might muttered.

Back at the Leonidus household, Alyx was in his room meditating, attempting to enter the Seventh Plane. He furrowed his eyebrows until he felt someone tap him on the shoulder.

"Alyx? You're here!" A woman giggled.

Alyx opened his eyes and looked up, "Oh! Aunt Nezuko! There you are! Where's Grandpa and Uncle Zenitsu?"

"W-Well, they're kind of..." Nezuko answered.

Nezuko looked behind her towards Tanjiro and Zenitsu running away from a boar mask wearing man.

"I-Inosuke! Cut it out already!" Tanjiro yelled.

"I wanna fight 'em! Let me! Let me!!" He shouted.

Alyx stared at the scene with a disappointed look on his face. He stood up on his feet which caused Inosuke to look over in his direction.

"Finally! You've decided to show up! So, you ready for that Breathing Style training shit, Ryan?" Inosuke yelled to him.

"It's Alyx, Uncle Inosuke! And yes, I am! I'm feeling a lot better now, so hopefully, I can get started on your Breathing Styles." Leonidus replied.

"Well, it might be best to learn something a bit more interesting. How about... Water Breathing! It pairs perfectly with that Quirk of yours, especially since it'll help out if you're ever underwater!" Tanjiro suggested.

"Also, how are you doing with that Total Concentration: Constant?" Zenitsu wondered.

Alyx walked over to them alongside Nezuko, "I've been trying, but it sure is tough! Your shocking whenever I lose it during sleep has been helping me though, Uncle Zenitsu."

"Good! You'll be breathing like us in no time then!" He smiled.

Zenitsu handed him his Nichirin Blade to use for practice, Alyx stood next to his grandfather and copied his movements. Rushing waves of water came from Leonidus' and Tanjiro's blades as they went through the Water Breathing Forms. Alyx landed on the ground after preforming the Water Breathing Style's Tenth Form, Constant Flux.

"Hey, look at that! You aren't out of breath like normal!" Inosuke remarked.

"Woah... You're right! I guess I was just so focused on the forms that they kind of flowed together. Can I try yours next, Uncle Zenitsu?!" Alyx exulted.

[One Hour Later...]

After an exciting training session, Leonidus learned not only Water Breathing, but Thunder and Beast Breathing! The five went into a small house that materialized in the Seventh Plane, reminiscent to that of Tanjiro & Nezuko's childhood home. Nezuko placed down a large plate of rice crackers and green tea. Alyx stared down at his tea after eating a bit of a rice cracker.

"Is everything alright, Alyx?" Nezuko questioned.

"Yeah... It's just that... I've been feeling a bit weird as of late. Like I've been craving something but I'm not sure what it is." Leonidus responded.

"Maybe ish jush dat you're hungry fo sumfin!" Inosuke spoke with his mouth full.

"That could be it!" Tanjiro quickly replied.

Alyx ate more of his rice cracker, "That might be it... Oh! I think my mom is calling me, gotta go, I'll see you all soon!"

As Leonidus left, Tanjiro, Zenitsu, Inosuke and Nezuko all slowly looked at each other. The tension in the room rose as the four remained silent.

"He... He didn't mean..." Zenitsu mumbled.

"I'm afraid so, Zenitsu. I could smell it as soon as he appeared. His Rage Quirk..." Tanjiro confirmed.

"Whadda we gonna do if he up and freaks out? We can't warn anyone about it. How long has it been since he used that power or whatever?" Inosuke asked.

"It's been about a couple years, I'm afraid." A voice responded.

They all looked and saw a glowing figure standing to their right. Tanjiro lowered an eyebrow as he tilted his head.

"Greetings, I am Amatsu Mikaboshi, I see you've stumbled into this realm of existence. I've been wanting to make myself known to you four for quite some time now. But what I have told you is true; Alyx has not harnessed the powers of his Rage Quirk in a couple years." Mikaboshi greeted.

Zenitsu blinked a few times, "Wait a second... You're the God of Evil, Chaos and the Stars, right? What are you doing here?"

"A long time ago, I was summoned to possess Alyx Leonidus by his grandmother, my hypothetical 'Master', Daniela Leonidus. This plane is merely an extension of his consciousness, only accessible by him and a select few others like yourselves. Do not fret however, I do not possess ill intentions with him, our goals are one in the same. Allow me to show you..." Amatsu explained.

[The Next Day...]

Class 1-A had a surprise in store for them, All Might burst into the room with tremendous speed.

"AH HAHA! Hello there, children! It's time for your first... Foundational. Hero. Study class!" All Might resounded.

Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement at All Might's unexpected presence. He quickly looked through a small notebook before returning his gaze towards the class.

"Alright everyone! Today's lesson is 'Combat Training'! In front of you are briefcases, in said briefcases are the hero costumes you designed and submitted before your first day here. Although some were designed elsewhere, most were designed here at U.A.! Go on, give 'em a look!" All Might announced.

Leonidus opened his briefcase, on his hero costume was a note, he picked it up and read it:

"Hey, Alyx! It's been a while, I hope you're doing alright, I'm super glad you talked to me about making a hero suit for you. Call me when you can, love you bunches Lil' Leonidus! -Melissa Shield"

Alyx smiled at the note before putting it in his bag. Several minutes later, after changing into their hero costumes, the class arrived on Ground Beta. They stood and waited for All Might's next instruction.

"Okay, everyone! Let's get started! We'll be doing indoor battles, you'll be assigned to teams of two, one team will be the 'Heroes' while the others will be the 'Villains'. The goal for the villains is to keep the heroes away from their payload, heroes will be attempting to secure that payload. You'll all draw lots to see who you'll be paired up with, as you'll be with a plethora of different heroes out in the real world!" All Might instructed.

The students all drew lots after All Might's speech. The teams were set up afterwards:

Team A: Izuku Midoriya & Ochako Uraraka, Heroes

Team B: Shoto Todoroki & Mezo Shoji, Heroes

Team C: Alyx Leonidus & Momo Yaoyorozu, Villains

Team D: Katsuki Bakugo & Tenya Iida, Villains

Team E: Yuga Aoyama & Mina Ashido, Heroes

Team F: Koji Koda & Rikido Sato, Villains

Team G: Denki Kaminari & Kyoka Jiro, Heroes

Team H: Tsuyu Asui & Fumikage Tokoyami, Heroes

Team I: Mashirao Oijiro & Toru Hagakure, Villains

Team J: Eijiro Kirishima & Hanta Sero, Villains

With the teams set, All Might went over the rules once more before sending the first teams up to bat.

"Remember! If the heroes secure the weapon, the villains are out! Also, if you manage to capture both members of either side, you can win that way as well! Now, how about we start with... Team C and Team G! Head to Battle Building C, the villains will head in first to prepare." All Might continued.

Yaoyorozu and Leonidus quickly headed to Battle Building C to plan, as they arrived, Momo looked around at the rooms.

"Hmm... Big enough for..." Momo muttered.

"Rage arms... If need be."

Momo looked at him at smiled, "Well, not what I was going for, but that's most definitely an option. There's plenty of hallways, but the weapon should be upstairs."

The two made their way upstairs towards the payload, it was a giant fake missile sitting in the far back of the room. Along the way there however, Yaoyorozu set up various traps that would deter Kaminari and Jiro. Alyx stood at the ready with his hand on his Nichirin Blade.

"๐˜'๐˜ฎ ๐˜จ๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฅ ๐˜ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ญ๐˜ฅ ๐˜”๐˜ฆ๐˜ญ๐˜ช๐˜ด๐˜ด๐˜ข ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ข๐˜ฌ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ด๐˜ฐ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ฑ๐˜ถ๐˜ต ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜ด๐˜ธ๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ! ๐˜•๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ ๐˜ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฏ ๐˜ถ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜บ ๐˜‰๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜š๐˜ต๐˜บ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ง๐˜ถ๐˜ญ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ต!" Leonidus thought.

All Might allowed Kaminari and Jiro to head into the building, starting the training. Alyx looked back at Momo as she set up a barrier around the weapon.

"I'm gonna go meet them down there to stall time. If you hear footsteps coming towards you, that's not me, you'll know if it is." Alyx told her.

"Alright! Good luck!"

Leonidus took a deep breath in and took up a stance, "๐˜›๐˜ฐ๐˜ต๐˜ข๐˜ญ ๐˜Š๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ค๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ช๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ... ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ ๐˜‰๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ... ๐˜๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ด๐˜ต ๐˜๐˜ฐ๐˜ณ๐˜ฎ... ๐˜›๐˜ฉ๐˜ถ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฆ๐˜ณ๐˜ค๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ฑ ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜๐˜ญ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ฉ!"

Within the blink of an eye, Alyx darted out of the room with a thunderous boom. Everyone in the Monitoring Room were in awe at Leonidus' move.

"Woah! Does he have three Quirks or somethin'?! That was awesome!" Mina beamed.

"Hmm... Perhaps we missed something when he was enrolled? I didn't know he could do that! Impressive!" All Might smiled.

Alyx tore down hallways towards Kaminari and Jiro. Kyoka raised her hand up to stop Denki as they ran into a large room. She looked up to see a huge amount of electricity coming towards them.

"I got him!" Kaminari shouted.

He pushed Jiro out of the way to save her from getting hit, he absorbed Alyx's electricity at the cost of getting hit in the stomach by his knee. He flipped over Kaminari as Jiro sent a soundwave towards him.

"Ah! You must be Jiro! It's a pleasure to meet you, although I would've rather conversed outside of battle!" Leonidus grinned.

"๐˜๐˜ด ๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ... ๐˜‰๐˜ฆ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ค๐˜ฆ? ๐˜๐˜ฏ ๐˜ต๐˜ฉ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฎ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ฅ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง ๐˜ข ๐˜ง๐˜ช๐˜จ๐˜ฉ๐˜ต?"

Jiro regrouped with Kaminari, "Yeah, right back at you! But it's two to one now, you sure you can handle it?"

"Sure, but here's the thing... It's not you versus me..." Alyx replied.

His Overdrive ignited fiercely as he stood in front of Kaminari and Jiro. A single bang shined Violet-Blue alongside his eyes.

"It's ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฆ versus you."

"H-Hey, uh... All Might? A-Are you sure he's not getting serious?" Izuku fretted.

"I'm positive, Young Midoriya, it'll be alright. If things get too rowdy, I'll put a stop to it."

Kaminari shot a bolt of lightning at Alyx, but it was dodged effortlessly by him. He appeared on the other side of the room right behind them.

"Over here!" He called out.

Suddenly, afterimages of Alyx circled around the two, Denki and Kyoka looked around at each of them.

"What do we do? Which one is he?" Kaminari wondered.

"Hang on! This is gonna get really rough!" Jiro warned him.

Jiro plunged her earphones jacks into the ground, "Let's amp it up a notch!"

The soundwaves Jiro send into the ground shattered the floor beneath them. Jiro grabbed Kaminari as they fell, she sent a huge piece of debris towards Leonidus, he kicked the chunk of concrete in half and smiled at her.

"๐˜ ๐˜ด๐˜ฆ๐˜ฆ... ๐˜ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ'๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ณ๐˜บ๐˜ช๐˜ฏ๐˜จ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ธ๐˜ฆ๐˜ข๐˜ณ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ช๐˜ฎ ๐˜ฅ๐˜ฐ๐˜ธ๐˜ฏ, ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ'๐˜ต ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ, ๐˜‘๐˜ช๐˜ณ๐˜ฐ? ๐˜ ๐˜จ๐˜ถ๐˜ฆ๐˜ด๐˜ด ๐˜'๐˜ญ๐˜ญ ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ท๐˜ฆ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ข ๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ฏ๐˜ฅ ๐˜ต๐˜ฐ๐˜ฐ!" Kaminari thought.

As they landed, Jiro quickly sent more pieces of debris towards Alyx, Kaminari shot bolts of lightning towards him as he ran around the room. Alyx dodged and cut through the concrete floor and lightning bolts to their surprise.

"Keep going! He can only go for so long!" Jiro yelled.

"Right!"

"Trying to wear me down, eh? Let's see how you like this one! HAAAAAH!!"

His Overdrive deactivated and two Rage arms burst from his back. A glowing red hand darted towards Jiro but was deflected by a soundwave. As it disappeared, he noticed that Jiro was gone!

"Huh? What the..."

He quickly looked behind him to see Jiro with capture tape, "Gotcha, Leonidus!"

Alyx somehow managed to bend his body in a way to avoid Jiro completely! Leonidus looked over and found a light trap that Yaoyorozu had placed lying nearby. He quickly darted and chucked it towards Jiro.

"I'm sorry about this!" He yelled to her.

The trap activated, temporarily blinding Jiro, Alyx shifted his focus over towards Kaminari. As he ran towards him, electricity rattled throughout his body!

"Ah ha! I knew you wouldn't notice! I call that 'Electro-Mine'!" Kaminari smirked.

Denki quickly approached Alyx with the capture tape, only to be blasted back by Leonidus' Overdrive aura that now contained Kaminari's electricity!

"I hate to be the bearer of bad news but... You only just powered me up even more, Kaminari!"

Izuku looked intently at the screen as Alyx wrapped capture tape around Denki in the blink of an eye. He looked down at his hand before looking over at Bakugo who was also carefully studying Leonidus.

"๐˜ž๐˜ฉ๐˜ข๐˜ต ๐˜ฆ๐˜น๐˜ข๐˜ค๐˜ต๐˜ญ๐˜บ ๐˜ข๐˜ณ๐˜ฆ ๐˜บ๐˜ฐ๐˜ถ ๐˜ค๐˜ข๐˜ฑ๐˜ข๐˜ฃ๐˜ญ๐˜ฆ ๐˜ฐ๐˜ง... ๐˜ˆ๐˜ญ๐˜บ๐˜น ๐˜“๐˜ฆ๐˜ฐ๐˜ฏ๐˜ช๐˜ฅ๐˜ถ๐˜ด?" Katsuki thought.

Meanwhile, Alyx healed Kaminari up before turning around to face Jiro, but she had disappeared while he was dealing with Denki. Kyoka had hid behind a large piece of debris, making sure she was staying as still and quiet as possible. Leonidus closed his eyes and sniffed the air, Jiro's scent waft over towards him, causing him to open his eyes quickly. He walked over towards the rock Jiro was hiding behind. He reared his head back and headbutted the boulder! Everyone watching froze out of shock and a bit of horror. They all watched as the rock completely shattered!

"EH?!?!" They all exclaimed.

Alyx smiled at Jiro as she looked back at him, "Hi there!"

He quickly wrapped capture tape around Jiro before nodding with content. Yaoyorozu made her way to the room then stopped as she looked down at the newly made hole in the ground. Alyx looked up and waved at her as he chuckled.

"Heya, Momo! Thanks for setting those traps up, you helped me out quite a bit!" Leonidus grinned.

Their battle trial was over, Leonidus untied Jiro and Kaminari before helping each of them up to their feet. After cleaning up the building, they returned to the observation building, Alyx was immediately swarmed by most of the students as he walked in.

"Can I touch your forehead?! Please? Pretty please?!" Mina quickly asked.

"O-Oh, okay! Sure!"

Mina patted his forehead, her eyes widened with surprise as she felt it, she punched his head and clutched her hand.

"Y-Yeah... You've got a hard head alright..." She muttered.

"Yep! I got it from my dad! It comes from one of my great grandfather's mother's! It's probably the greatest weapon I've got. It's practically invulnerable!"

After everyone marveled over Alyx's extremely hard forehead, All Might sent the next group out, Yaoyorozu stood next to Leonidus as they looked up at the screen.

"So, I'm interested in that Overdrive Quirk of yours, what else can it do?" Yaoyorozu questioned.

"Well, for starters, I can fly! Using my Overdrive, I can heal others through the positive energy output, although it costs me my own stamina and I have to be careful to not put people into shock. Once I get better at healing, I can even restore lost limbs! That's about it though, actually... I could tell you about my techniques!"

Momo nodded with glee, "Of course! Please do!"

"Alright! So, my Boost Fire technique allows me to magnify my power times 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 99, and 100. I'm currently able to go into it at times 20 so far. Oh, I should mention..."

The two went back and forth, conversing about each other's Quirks and more. Their bubbly rambling filled the room.

"Huh... Looks like those two are fond of each other." Sero remarked.

"Yeah, no kidding..." Kaminari replied.

As the trials went on, Leonidus observed each of his peers' Quirks, making note of their flaws and their strengths. He found himself wondering what exactly Izuku's Quirk was during his match against Bakugo and Iida. The trials ended with everyone still astonished with the finish of Izuku, Uraraka, Bakugo, and Iida's match up. The school day finally came to a close, everyone had been dismissed to head home. Yaoyorozu caught up to Leonidus as he was leaving the building.

"Hey, Alyx! I'd like to ask you something if you don't mind." Momo told him.

"Hm? What is it?"

She looked at his bag and then to him, "Would you like to come over after school tomorrow to study? I couldn't help but notice that you were struggling with some things."

"A-Actually, I was gonna ask you that, but I completely forgot! I'd love to though, jumping into a completely new algorithm isn't exactly ideal."

"Ah, I see. Well, would you like to exchange phone numbers? Just in case if either of us has a change in plans."

"Yeah! Sure thing."

Alyx handed Momo his phone so she could put her number in it, Yaoyorozu did the same, the two then waved goodbye to each other as they walked separate ways. Momo looked down at her phone at silently celebrated. Meanwhile, as Leonidus made his way down an alleyway, he stopped as he felt someone following him.

"Hey, I couldn't help but notice you've been following me since I crossed the street a few blocks back. You need something?" Alyx asked.

"As a matter of fact," The man deviously smiled, "I do, Alyx Leonidus."

Before Alyx could react as he turned around, the man was in front of him, he wrapped his hand around his neck and lifted him up high. Under his dark hood, his eyes began to glow orange as a flowy Bright Orange aura surrounded him.

"It's a pleasure to see you again... Little brother." He grinned.
