Battle Trial Aftermath

...

3rd Pov

All Might could barely hold back himself from grinning, which dad would not feel proud when his son passes any exam so spectacularly? Still, he held himself back, as he didn't want to play favoritism, at least keep it in a limit so other students don't lose their motivation. He looked at the students who were just gobsmacked by the fight they had witnessed.

"*Ahem* So tell me what you learn from witnessing this fight?", he asked them, Midoriya raised his hand, and so did Momo," Well you both can tell me, Young Momo you go on first", he said, and she nodded," Sir! Akash has been the MVP of the entire fight! While I think breaking through the walls is a bit foolish, but if we consider them as villains, it's fit quite well."

" Indeed! Akash not only chose to took out Ida first recognizing his ability, knowing well Ida might win due to his fast speed, after that he decided to take out Shoto, however I find it a bit wasteful that he didn't took him out quickly, maybe he wanted to act like a villain and taunt them to fill up with the role better?", Midoriya said and All Might nodded with a big smile.

" Very Good Observation, though I would like to give a bit of credit to Miss Hagakure as well, she took up her position and was waiting patiently to put knock out any intruder!", he said, and everyone nodded. Everyone was thrilled by this fight; it also showed them the overwhelming might of Akash. Katsuki looked at the screen in daze and recalled the fight,' If that was me- ', he was arrogant not stupid.

He knew that Akash belonged to a different league, and that made him- frustrated. He couldn't believe it, he just couldn't. How could extras be better than him? He was supposed to be the future No.1, not just in Japan but in the entire world, he dreamt of surpassing All might, and if he could let extras walk over him, how he is supposed to achieve that?

While he was in his own thoughts, Ida and the Shoto were sent to granny for healing, Akash and Hagakure returned and he talked with Midoriya as the next lots were drawn. "Team A of Midoriya and Ochako as heroes versus Team D of Katsuki and Tenya!", All Might said, while the second team was random, he deliberately chose Team A.

Kacchan grinned, he was going to enjoy this, breaking that pathetic twerks' dream." Get ready to lose fucking Deku!", he said as he walked towards Tenya. Soon the stage was set, with Bakugo being a jerk," Hey, do whatever you want just don't get in my way of beating that useless deku", he warned before leaving, while Ida not liking his words decided to stay back to protect the bomb.

" The biggest question though, how should I act?- Like a villain or a Hero?...", he muttered, meanwhile Midoriya and Ochako got ready," Kaachan will most probably go after me, I will keep him busy, and you take care of the bomb", he said and she nodded, after discussing a bit more about strategy they split as soon as the round began.

" Deku!!!", Bakugo shouted, his voice reaching to the lowest floor. " I hear you, no need to shout", said Midoriya as he blitzed through the floors before encountering him. " You think you are some hot shit just because you beat me in Entrance exam and training?! They were but children's game, today I will show you how unfit you are to be a Pro Hero!", he said with a grin as he jumped forward.

Flames bursted from his arm and shot at Izuku who simply dodged them," Is that what you think Kachan?", he asked as he dodged his attacks. " Stop dodging! Take a hit already!", Kachan shouted as he broke through the walls, blasting them away, but Midoriya's agility made him swiftly evade his attacks.

" Why can't I get you?! Why?! You are but a useless nerd! Stop looking down on me!", Kachan shouted as the fight was dragged on. " Remember it, whether a quirk or not! You are the same useless deku!", he barked as he blasted a wall off with Midoriya dodging it. He wasn't retaliating, as if waiting for something, and... It was done.

" You are wrong Ka- no Katsuki Bakugo. It doesn't matter whether I have a quirk or not, but I am not useless and never will be. Also it is time you wake up from your delusion, because this is what is REAL!!", Midoriya said, his eyes darkening as green lightning flashed around his body. 

"Remember Izuku Midoriya you aren't useless, never was and never will be no matter what anyone says, All Might chose you and that's enough proof you will ever need", the voice of his sensei rung in his ears. He had tried to make him understand, he had tried to make up with him, he really- But he never needed to, perhaps only he considered Bakugo a friend, the latter probably just considered him a way to vent his frustrations.

Still, he held a lingering hope in his heart, perhaps he is just jerk outside, but with the things he said- That last hope was broken. ' Fine, if that's how you want to play Kachan ', he thought as he glared at the Blonde, He will make him realize- That he should be out of his delusion BY NOW!!

*BOOM*

A punch fell on the blonde, time seemed to slow down for both of them as bones cracked under the might of his punch. ' When? ', Bakugo couldn't even see when he struck him, he gasped as his ribs cracked and he was thrown back on a wall, the wall behind him cracked, the cracks spreading like a spider's web, and he fell down.

The pain was too much for him, and he was barely conscious. " Bakugo, this isn't a game. You aren't some shitty Mc in some novel, you have fallen far too deep in that delusion. This should end your delusion, and our one-way friendship", Midoriya said with a sad chuckle in the end. Soon the bell rang declaring Team A's victory, Ochako had beaten Ida far faster than he expected.

' i-I t ca- ', Bakugo's conscious faded. Soon he was escorted to the medical room. Midoriya had held quite a back, while he did boost his agility in the end, his attack was very light, otherwise the wall behind Katsuki would have been blown away alongside him. So, he was in no danger as medical granny said he should be healed up soon.

After that one, matches after one another played out, some teams won, some lost. In the end the entire class 1-A was hyped for their future, leaving out a few. " Still in deep thought?", Akash asked as he sat by Midoriya," Yeah, for my entire life I considered that guy my friend- and now I want to laugh on myself so bad", he chuckled.

"For years he and his buddies or minions abused me, snarled at me, mocked me- While the poor boy considered him his best friend, but you made me realize I was delusional and so he was. It feels surreal, I am an idiot", said Midoriya and Akash sighed," C'mon don't tell me you will be sulking all day."

" Nah, anyway Akash, you told me you want me to join in your band", Midoriya said as he recalled Akash has invited him to join him in his music band. " Yup, are you up for the challenge?", asked Akash and Midoriya grinned standing up," Always", though he didn't knew that he would regret his words latter. Akash grinned inside his mind.

[All according to keikaku], Great Sage's voice rung in his mind as he nodded, for no reason Midoriya felt a chill in his back, he looked back only to find wind blowing and shrugged.

...

While Midoriya was going through a character development, so was a certain potato*Ahem*, Symbol of Evil. " Our plans are almost ready", replied to Kurogiri as he stared at the man sitting in front of him. Dozens of eyes were all over his body staring at him, making an extremely creepy scene.

" As for the schedule for the USJ, I successfully got it", Kurogiri said as he presented him the schedule. He had simply teleported into UA High and copied it using his smartphone. It would have been impossible for the previous him, but with All for One giving him two more quirks, his capabilities have far surpassed his former self.

" Very well... We still have some time, Doctor are the Nomus prepared?", he asked as an eye came out from the back of his head and looked at the screen. " As you wanted, three High-class Nomus, each of being capable of taking down All Might", replied Garaki with a grin. " Still I think a single of them is enough to be an experiment for Tomura", he then said.

" Indeed, but plans have changed now. A new obstacle stands in my way", All for One replied as a holographic screen showing the image of Akash appeared before them. " A genius programmer, a musician, lyrist, mangaka... All these talents not only show how talented he is but also the capabilities of his much-ignored quirk, Great Sage."

" He is like a Supercomputer Doctor and coupled with a quirk like Energy Manipulation he is a force to be reckoned with, this time it is not only to make a statement or train Tomura but to gouge Akash Alpheus' true capabilities", Shigaraki said with a grin. " You think he equals three All Mights?", asked Doctor after all he too can see the terrifying capabilities of the boy.

" Nope- I think he equals at least Ten All Mights of now!", said All for one as grin on his face widened. " It has been first-time, first-time Doctor that I have wanted a quirk other than One for All so bad! That quirk- no, those quirks can make me a God, a true Demon Lord! ", All for One said with excitement in his voice.

" Also let's discuss plans after USJ, I want you all to contact a man named Wolfram... I have found he has quite an interesting quirk", All for One grinned. Akash didn't know that Butterfly's wings have already changed a lot, and this time the danger was increasing.
