Battle Trial. (Part 3)

{POV Ryuu.}

To say the least, everyone was rattled by the entire outcome. The heroes came out in a collapsed and worn-out manner. While the villains were rather uninjured during the entire process with hardly a scratch on them.

I still say they all failed in my books.

But as everyone was looking at Midoriya and Uraraka, I was paying attention to Bakugou, his face was distraught.

His eye's screamed with frustration and anger, seemingly wanting to explode and release his frustration. Then like he always appears when you need him.

I noticed that All Might had seemingly disappeared at the right moment as he quickly reappeared right behind Bakugou and clasped his hand on Bakugou's shoulder.

He seemed to have said something to Bakugou that was able to help, or calm him down, then I stopped paying attention as hopefully All Might did his hero stuff. And he's a teacher.

"Did you know who would win? Ribbit." I heard Tsuyu ask in a straightforward manner as everyone else was still watching what was happening on the screen. "It seemed as if you knew what was going to happen? Ribbit."

I just nodded my head in agreement.

"I had a feeling about how it was going to happen, yes. Sure Bakugou is a great fighter but at the same time he lets his emotions get the best of him. It was a trial but not reality, he failed the moment he left his partner and blew the damn building up." I said as I continued to look at the monitors, watching the robots drive off Midoriya to the medics.

"Plus I learned a lot when I traded blows with Bakugou yesterday." Now that seemed to surprise Tsuyu as her eyes widened a little.

"You can learn a lot about a person when you trade blows with them. You even learn something about yourself that way also." I laughed a little as Tsuyu tilted her head to the side slightly while she kept the same face.

All Might returned rather quickly as it seemed he had something to discuss. As he made all of us gather around and made the hero and villain team stand in a line.

"The best in this match was Young Ida!!" All Might said aloud in a passionate and forceful voice. As Ida seemed to be in complete surprise, as was everyone else, as they thought it should go to the hero team and not the villains.

Ida you really need to stop being surprised sometimes. You actually did the best out of everyone. Then All Might raised his hand while asking if anyone knew why.

That's when the noble looking person from yesterday… Momo Yaoyorozu raised her hand.

"It's because Ida was the one who adapted the most to the situation. Having watched the fight, Bakugou's behavior was clearly driven by some personal grudge, which was asinine." I laughed a little as she was absolutely correct and spot on, and continued to be as she said more.

"Furthermore, just as you said earlier a large range attack in an indoor arena was idiotic, its the same reason for Midoriya as well. Uraraka failed halfway through and her final attack was reckless." Ancient be damned, she is destroying all of them. This is great, where is the popcorn when you need it.

"If we were treating that paper mache core as an actual weapon, then that kind of attack wouldn't have flown. Ida devised a counter strategy against the opponent. He correctly supposed the match would revolve around the core, while he was slow in the last attack. I believe the hero team's so-called victory is too nice, in calling this just training. That gets dangerously close to skirting the spirit of the rules."

Silence, just dead, fuckin silent… then I just started to applauded.

On Ancient that was fantastic, just look at All Might, he is stunned! Shaken, but still smiling that damn smile!

Unfortunately, no one else applauded, rather they just stared at me… their eyes seemed further away somehow as they stared.

"We should always start our studies with what's familiar! And if we don't cheer each other on whole heartedly, then we'll never become top heroes!" I applauded further as she kept going.

She is amazing, why is no one else applauding, this is amazing!

After Momo was done giving her amazing speech I walked over to Bakugou. Tsuyu had also decided to follow.

The next pair of heroes and villains were chosen and when I heard the result I just shook my head. I already knew who was going to win.

It was Mezo and… Shoto Todoroki, the hot and cold guy, the sad looking one. So I didn't have to pay attention at all.

"It hurts doesn't it. Going all out in that type of confrontation all to still lose in the end," I spoke in a familiar manner.

"But in the end you're still standing and he's not. Acknowledge the loss, and move past it. All Might probably said something similar. And I agree, learn from this moment to make yourself stronger." I noticed Bakugou's almost dead eyes had started to gain a little life.

"Watch the next match also, but don't watch Mezo, watch Shoto, and after watching, tell me, could you beat him? Do the same for everyone else also, as there is always something to learn." I smiled as I reached out, and clasped his shoulder.

After speaking to Bakugou I noticed his eye focus as I put my helmet back on, "We should get ready also, as I feel our match will be up soon. As the next match will end rather quickly." I heard Tsuyu ribbit in reply as I quickly tried to formulate a strategy for which side we ended up on.

I wasn't wrong when I said the battle ended quickly, everyones gasped in surprise and their awe was rather loud from the display they just witnessed.

All Might even made a comment on how Shoto was being aware of his comrade and not damaging the core, all in all it sounded like Shoto did everything. The clean up was quick and All Might started pulling out another lottery pick… and would you look at that.

…

Hero, really… fine let's put on a show then.

I was easily able to spot both Eijiro and… Hanta Sero, I recall that he had tape for his ability.

They weren't moving at all, just standing, and it seems there are at least three points of entry, easy. I smiled as I saw Tsuyu was still looking at the rough sketch of the map.

"I have an idea if you're interested, Tsuyu?" I said in a friendly manner as I waited for her response. Which was rather quick as Tsuyu looked up and smiled.

"Sure what do you have in mind Ryuu. Ribbit." I nodded my head, then pointed to the side of the building that had a window closest to the core from the outside.

"The core is closest to that window, near the third floor. So if they are smart they should set up traps, but since Eijiro has manly standards. Then that just means there is a single trap in the core room only. And are you able to climb walls?" I asked as I looked in her direction… and I'm not going to lie the last question was for myself. I was a little curious to know.

Tsuyu didn't even answer as I watched her hop twice, my head doing the same before she started to stick to the wall and climbed it! I was impressed, Tsuyu didn't even struggle at all as she went up a little more and hopped off the wall and back.

"That was awesome, that'll make capturing the villains easier then, let me enter first to distract them, let them focus their attention on me while you capture the core, just be careful of the traps and if they notice I'm by myself…"

I continued to explain my plan to Tsuyu, while she started to suggest ideas that would help support the areas that weren't covered.

We were able to lay out a plan rather quickly with at least a minute to spare before we were able to enter the building and begin the trial. I have to say it's a solid plan. It's a lot better than what I had originally.

"It's a lot better than what I had originally, I guess it seems I still have more to learn. And it's a pleasure being partnered with you for the trial today Tsuyu," I thanked Tsuyu as I pointed at the building with my thumb.

"Now, let's go and stop those villains before they do something dastardly"

I noticed Tsuyu started to smile as she brought her finger to her mouth as she nodded her head in agreement.

"I agree with you also, Ryuu, and it's a pleasure being partnered with you also. Ribbit," Tsuyu said as she hopped slightly while pumping her fist.

"Yes, they must be stopped at all cost or the harm they'll cause would be quite dastardly."

I just started laughing. I was starting to have a little fun with the whole battle trial. It almost felt like a relaxing training day, but hopefully I'll be able to witness how others use their ability in combat.

The last few seconds quickly arrived, as it signaled our start. "Times up Tsuyu, you ready?" I said aloud in a slightly excited tone as Tsuyu nodded in reply.
