Chapter 3: Battle Trial... How Boring

The next day of school at U.A. was relatively... normal? At first, Kyushiro was surprised that they actually taught normal lessons such as English and, '...Math- Ewugh, gonna throw up just thinkin' about it' He shivered at the thought of the cursed lesson. Then again, it IS a high school, so after some thought he and the other 1-A students got used to it and realised it's normal.

Annoyingly enough though, U.A. had 4 of these lessons in a row before lunch. The only things that sort of saved it from being hell was the fact that the lessons were only 50 minutes long, and the students had a 10 minute rest/break in between the lessons they'd spend to either chat, get a snack/some water, or go to the restroom.

After the lessons, at 12.30, lunch began, "Seriously, only 50 minutes for lunch? How annoying" Kyushiro groaned in slight agitation, a tray in his hands with food as he sat on a table with Sero, Kirishima, the yellow-haired pikachu boy called Kaminari, and the explosive porcupine called Bakugo.

"..." Kirishima, Sero and Kaminari looked at Kyushiro's tray with their jaws dropped and stuck in place, "Awww, did you bring all that extra food to share with us? How considerate of yo-" As Kirishima stretched his hand towards his food, Kyushiro moved the tray aside and glared at the boy, sending shivers down his spine.

"*Slurrppppp*..." Bakugo simply watched, strangely quiet as he drank his carton of juice with an angry expression.

"Don't. Touch. My. Food." Kyushiro growled, earning a nod from the scared and sweaty Kirishima who backed off and apologised, "Good. Now-" Doing a complete 180, the boy's darkened face changed to that of a giddy kid in candy-land, "Thanks for the food" And with that, he engulfed half of the pile of food in mere minutes.

"..." This time, even Bakugo himself couldn't help but have his jaw drop at the sight. Unbeknownst to Kyushiro and the group, there were even a few onlookers looking in shock, "Surely that's a world record, right?" They wondered, someone even taking time to google the different kinds of world records to do with eating food earned by mainly Fatgum.

"Ahh~..." With a sigh of satisfaction, Kyushiro's tray of food had completely disappeared, *Gurgle~...*, his belly rumbled, causing him to look back at the chef, Lunch Rush, who had plenty of food leftover, "I'll be back" He told the boys before refilling his tray with more food than previously.

"What the fuck?" The four decided that they would have to get used to it and act like it was normal if they wanted to carry on living life the way they were with no major worries.

After lunch, class 1-A returned to their empty class with no teacher present. They decided to take their seats and wait patiently until they heard loud and fast footsteps approaching.

"I ammmMMMM..." A familiar voice entered everyone's ears, a large and muscular blonde figure bursting through the door dramatically, "COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A NORMAL PERSONNNNNNNNNN!!"

"It's All Might...!! Incredible!! He's really gonna be teaching us!" Kaminari, like the majority of his classmates, cheered excitedly as a fan of the Symbol of Peace.

Even Kyushiro couldn't help but be excited, 'The number 1 hero, huh?' He looked at All Might in his silver age costume posing glamorously as he flexed his large muscles.

"Welcome to..." All Might spoke through grit teeth, his body shaking from the hard flexing he was doing, "Hero Basic Training Class!" He announced, welcoming the class as he switched poses, "The class that'll put you through all sorts of training to mould you into heroes!" Finally, he stood up like a normal person and dug for something inside his costume, "No time to dally, today's activity is THIS!" He revealed a card with the word 'BATTLE!' on it, "Battle Training"

"Hell yeah!" Bakugo let off a small explosion from his hands out of enthusiasm, with Kyushiro having a similar reaction by smirking whilst clenching his fists tightly.

"And for that... you need these!" With a press of a button on a remote, the wall at the front of the class to the left side of the students opened up to reveal 4 columns of boxes labelled with numbers from 01-20, "In accordance with the "Quirk Registry" and the special request forms you filled out before being admitted...-"

"Our costumes!!" The students yelled enthusiastically, interrupting All Might who didn't mind as he knew the kids were simply happy to see and use their costumes for the first time

"After you change, come out in ranking order to ground beta!!" All Might instructed, leaving the students in the class to grab their numbered box - with Kyushiro grabbing the box numbered 09 - before running over to the changing rooms to get changed.

In the boys changing room, the boys stood in different spots of the room as they got changed, making sure to put a good amount of distance between each other. With a smile, Kyushiro finished his hero outfit by attaching a fox-mask over the top half of his face, leaving only the mouth to be seen freely.

"Cool mask, dude" Kaminari complimented, looking Kyushiro's costume up and down, "The rest of your costume... it's pretty basic, but looks cool and suits you, I've gotta admit" He said with a thumbs-up.

Kyushiro looked down at his clothing and was satisfied with the result: As part of his first layer, he wore a plain white vest and comfortable black shorts (It didn't really matter what he wore here, as what mattered most was the next layers). His second layer of the costume consisted of a white yukata wrapped by a black sash, followed by a blue jacket which was attached around his shoulders/neck and didn't need to be worn (It was purely for aesthetics - then again, the whole point of this costume was for aesthetics-purposes). Finally, a black scarf wrapped around his neck which was customised to be suitable for both hot and cold weather - but mainly the cold, as he was quite sensitive and weak to it, which was something he wouldn't tell anyone [Images].

"Yours is pretty nice too" Kyushiro and a few of the boys, excluding Todoroki and Bakugo mainly, spent the next few minutes complimenting each other and boosting each other's moods.

"Guys! What about my costume!?" The guys, including Todoroki and Bakugo, turned to the purple midget, Mineta, who looked up at everyone being silent as his eyes began to get wet with tears.

Midoriya was the first to speak up, "M-Mineta! Your costume is cool too-" Lying to try and make the boy feel better, the others couldn't help but think to themselves that Midoriya's lie was too obvious

"Don't lie, Midoriya" Kyushiro spoke up, his expression blank as he blinked a few times while looking down at Mineta's costume, "Why are you wearing a diaper, dude? Your costume would be decent-at-best if it weren't for that" He bluntly stated, causing the midget to cry before running out of the changing room, "IT'S NOT A DIAperrrrrrr-"

"Oof/Yikes/R.I.P. Mineta" The boys let off their own words of encouragement, "Come on, man" Kirishima walked up to him, his hand on Kyushiro's shoulder, "I know we were all thinking it-" He looked around and earned nods from everyone, "-But that was a bit harsh, dontcha think?"

"Indeed! Such rude behaviour towards another classmate is inexcusable" Iida, in a robot-like manner, appeared behind Kirishima in order to reprimand Kyushiro who simply looked at him deadpanned

"I see nothing wrong with it" Bakugo shrugged, standing up as he went to leave the changing room.

"Of course you don't, ya rude bastard" Kaminari whispered underneath his breathe. Unfortunately, the explosive 'bastard' heard him, "HUHHHH!? What was that, Pikachu?! You wanna die!?" He screamed, Midoriya attempting to calm him down, "Get off me, Deku, you spineless broccoli-haired bastard!"

Now that the unnecessary attention was off of him, Kyushiro simply groaned in annoyance at the ignorant kids, 'All I said was the truth, the fuck is their problem?' He wondered, walking by himself to Ground Beta with the other boys relatively far behind him with his arms resting inside his yukata.

With a lone, loud round of applause from All Might, he looked at his class with a larger smile than usual, "Fabulous costumes, my dear students!" He finally stopped his ear-ringing clapping, proceeding with the class, "Shall we begin? It's time for battle training!" He spoke after coughing into his hand.

All Might gave the class a few seconds to speak amongst themselves, as the boys and girls had yet to see the other genders' costumes. Kyushiro stood silently on the side, seemingly agitated about something, 'Can this thing just start already' His arms which hid inside his yukata began to shake, not out of fear but rather impatience and excitement.

"Sensei!" Iida in his hero costume raised his hand, stepping forward and carrying on even though All Might hadn't signalled him to carry on speaking, "This appears to be the same field used in the entrance exam. Will we once again be performing cityscape maneuveurs?!" He questioned.

"Nope! You'll be moving on to step two! Indoor anti-personnel battle training!!" All Might announced, carrying on by explaining that statistics show that villains lurk and fight more indoors rather than out, hence this trial being held inside a building, "You'll now be split into villain teams and hero teams... and face off in two-on-two indoor battles!!"

Asui, the froggy green-haired girl, tilted her head and asked "So no basic training?" To which All Might shook his head and replied with, "Practical experience teaches you the basics!" Earning a nod from the girl.

Frustratingly, the class bombarded All Might with rapid-fire questions that he wasn't able to answer all-at-once, causing him to clap his hands lightly to silence the class with a shockwave before pulling out a small piece of paper and reading it, "Listen up!! Here's the deal. The villains will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout. And the heroes have to go in and take care of it! The heroes have a limited amount of time to either capture the villains or secure the weapon. The villains must either capture the heroes or protect the weapon until time is up" Before scrunching it into a ball and throwing it far into the distance behind him which the class took notice off but chose to ignore as All Might seemed really into his role as a teacher.

"And as for how your partners will be decided..." All Might twisted his body before turning back around to the class and magically holding a box in his hands, "With lucky draws! Or drawing lots, whatever you call it"

With the students lining up and one-by-one drawing their lots, the teams were now decided. Kyushiro held up his drawn letter and waited for his teammate to walk over to him. After a few seconds, "Hey~! Looks like you're my partner for this trial!" An enthusiastic pink-skinned girl, Mina Ashido, walked beside him with her hands behind her head, a smile on her face, "Team E for the win! Woooo!" She pumped her fist in the air, energetically shouting with all her might.

"Heh" Kyushiro couldn't help but chuckle, finding the display of excitement from the girl amusing, "Just don't be a nuisance to me and I'll be happy, capiche?" He asked, earning a mocking salute and a sarcastic "Sir, yes sir!" from the girl causing him to look at her blankly, "...right" He sighed.

The first fight consisted of Team A as the heroes vs Team D as the villains, "Bakugo versus Midoriya, huh? Didn't think we'd see this so soon!" Kaminari joked as he and the other students, and All Might, sat/stood in a room looking at the match through a bunch of monitors.

After a few minutes, Team A ultimately won... though, it didn't really like look it considering they came out with the worser injuries, "At this rate, the nurse's office is gonna become Midoriya's second house" Kyushiro commented, earning synced nods and a few giggles from his classmates and even All Might himself.

When all the matches, except his own, passed, Kyushiro waited for his Team to be called out for the final match against the only other uncalled team left: "Team E as Heroes" His and Ashido's team, "Vs Team F as Villains" The team consisting of Rikido Sato and Yuga Aoyama.

"Got a plan?" Ashido asked Kyushiro with her hands placed on her hips, the two of them looking up at the building they were about to enter, "Planning's not really my thing" She added, hoping he had at least a decent plan they could run with.

"It's not really a plan, but" Kyushiro started, "Since pretty much all the other villain teams lost by sending 1 person to try and deal with 2 people, they're, probably, not stupid enough to do the same thing and they'll both stay and protect the bomb"

Ashido, at his words, began to think as she hummed to herself, "Mmm... no. Aoyama's definitely stupid enough to do the same thing, have you seen him?" She asked, shaking her head.

"Fair enough" Kyushiro gave a silent nod, "We'll just stick together. Use your acid quirk when need be-" His eyes then widened in realisation, "Scratch that. Once we see Aoyama, use your acid to melt his belly button belt instantly. After that, we can just double-team Sato. You cool with that?"

"Fine by me!" Ashido replied enthusiastically, holding her fist out towards him, "Let's do this, partner!" She smiled goofily, causing the boy to snicker before bumping his fist with hers, "Oh, yeah" She suddenly jolted up, "Speaking of quirks - what IS your quirk, exactly?" She asked him.

*Beepppppp!* "Well, would you look at that?" Kyushiro's mouth curled up into a smile, tilting his head slightly as he looked at her, "It seems it's time our test's begun" The two entered the building.

Unsurprisingly, no one was at the entrance to welcome them, "Where should we-" Ashido was about to finish her question, but blinked a few times once she saw her teammate closing his eyes and sniffing the air.

After a few seconds passed, "*Sniff...* They're on the fourth floor" He stated, walking ahead as he signalled for Ashido to follow him sceptically.

Meanwhile, back in the monitoring room, All Might and Kyushiro's classmates couldn't help but wonder what Kyushiro was doing, "He... sniffed the air now they're walking? What the hell is his quirk?" Sero questioned.

"Well, he has those ears. And the quirk test Aizawa put us through showed his impressive physical feats, so it appears to be a mutant quirk. Perhaps some kind of dog or wolf judging by those ears" Yaoyorozu, the un-proclaimed intellect of the class, deduced after observing the boy.

"So what?" Kaminari spoke up then began to list what Kyushiro's quirk had done so far, "That's super strength, speed, and I'm assuming all his other physical stats. Then enhanced smell as well? You reckon he's got super hearing as well?" He wondered.

"I mean, the furry bastard's got 4 ears. So if his hearing isn't any better, it'd be quite embarrassing" Bakugo rebuked, 'Kyushiro... You couldn't have possibly beaten me in the Entrance Exam just from that. Show me what else you've got!' He thought to himself, watching Team E through the monitors as they approached Aoyama's team.

"They're above us" Kyushiro announced, pointing up at the ceiling above them, "Use your acid to create a big enough hole for me to jump up through" He instructed, earning a nod from the pink girl as she produced acid in her hands and shot it up at the ceiling, melting it at a pretty quick pace due to the volume of acid thrown up at it.

"Perfect" Kyushiro smirked, grabbing Ashido and throwing her over his shoulder causing her to yelp slightly, "Sorry, I'll put you down in a second" He politely apologised before crouching down and jumping up through the hole, getting the jump on a surprised Aoyama and Sato as he landed on the ground and placed Ashido back on her feet beside him, "Warn me next time, will ya!?" She screamed, smacking him on his back playfully.

"My bad, my bad" Kyushiro repeated himself, "But now's not the time" He and Ashido focused on the Laser and Sugar pair in front of them, standing in front of a bomb that they had to guard as the villains, 'Hmm... Should I?- Nah, they're too weak for that' He thought to himself. If someone were to hear his thoughts, they'd think he was being extremely arrogant and egotistical.

With a quick first step, Kyushiro instantly appeared in front of Aoyama which caught him off-guard due to his attention being off him and on Ashido instead, which Kyushiro noticed and took advantage of.

"Hup!" Releasing a quick and sharp exhale, Kyushiro punched the unreactive Aoyama's stomach, breaking the belt and sending him flying across the room in the process which he crashed into, knocking him unconscious, "...Whoops" He looked at his outstretched arm momentarily before scratching the back of his head, "Sorry, I didn't think he'd be so weak" He said sheepishly.

Sato, having seen his villain teammate go flying past him, was fast enough to eat a cup of sugar from his reserves which allowed him to bulk up, "You'll pay!" With a battle cry, looking for vengeance for his teammate, Sato went for a punch towards the boy's face.

"Hm" With a blank expression on his face, Kyushiro casually moved his head to the side and avoided the punch which hit nothing but hair, "How..." Reeling his arm back, he punched Sato's chest causing him to gag, "Bor-" Noticing he hadn't entirely fallen yet, Kyushiro sent a good ol' punch to the stomach which sent him flying towards his teammate, "-Ing" He sighed, touching the bomb effortlessly, 'If I knew it was gonna be like this, I would've just asked to be paired up against Todoroki or somethin'... hoping he's a good enough challenge, at least'

"Damn, you're strong" Kyushiro, who had walked back to his teammate in order to leave the building with a victory to their name, simply nodded as he replied confidently

"I know I am"
