Bab 92: Battle Trial, Team A vs. Team D
The battle trial finally started after Akane gave everyone some advice.
Izuku looked over to here and saw how blatantly calm she was? He was sure that he just saw how she said to Minoru how he should perish. Guess, she really wasn't angry or anything.
But now wasn't the time to think about others. He knows that it was now the time to prove himself, not really for the sake of others, it was for himself. All that training that he had to go through that year, all the suffering he went through all his life.
Though he had to admit that it paled in comparison to Akanes, he knew that this was the only chance for him to show Katsuki that he isn't worthless, not a pebble on the road that he could overstep.
He would show him that being quirkless isn't an argument to looking down on others.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Katsuki and Tenya where meanwhile in the hideout.
Katsuki was currently sorting through his thoughts, while Tenya was scouting out the area.
"This may be just a training exercise, but it still pains me to be a villain. Though I suppose I just need to defend this thing."
He still wondered about one thing though.
"You, so Deku's got himself a quirk after all, right?"
"Didn't you see it for yourself? That extraordinary strength of his. Though, I suppose having Seigi stand next to him makes it pales a bit in comparison."
He laughed at that thought, a quirkless girl being as strong as a boy with a strength-enhancing quirk.
If he hadn't met Akane he wouldn't have believed that if anyone told him this.
"You'll charge right at him, just as she said, right?"
Hearing this, Katsuki grit his teeth. He wondered if Izuku fooled him all the years.
Meanwhile said person stood outside of the building and was looking at a map. He had to sneeze though.
"A layout map of the building guess we have to ingrain it in our memory. How tedious."
The two of them were currently memorizing a map of the building. Izuku didn't find that too difficult though, he had more trouble coping with the fact that he had to face Katsuki.
"It doesn't seem like there are any penalties like with Aizawa-sensei, so I am relieved."
She turned around to look at Izuku, but it seemed like he was absentminded. She waved her hand around his face, but he didn't seem to react.
"Hey, is everything good with you? You seem a bit tense."
"Oh, yes I am. It's just that my opponent is Kacchan. We had our differences in our past..."
"Differences? Izuku, wasn't he your bully? I am pretty sure that this is more than some simple differences."
Izuku was surprised at Ochacos reaction. He hadn't thought that she would have such a strong opinion about that thought, but it might have been his fault for exaggerating a bit.
"Well, you are right about that, but it's just that I kind of admire him. His confidence, his strength, his quirk, his will. It's just that he always just had his goal in mind and knew what he had to do to get there, meanwhile I sat still for so many years doing nothing, in that point he his hundreds time better than me."
Izuku looked down and Ochaco was worried about the boys confidence for a moment, but as he put his face mask from his hoodie on, she just saw a particular glint in his eyes.
"But still, I want to show him that I am not the wimpy boy from before. This time, I just don't want to lose."
Seeing his resolve, she just had to smile. Akane smiled as well, as she observed that from a roof.
"So that boy finally gained some confidence. How nice."
Suddenly a loud shout came from below.
"So then this must be fate! The bonds between men!"
Akane chuckle, Ochaco basically hit the nail on the head.
"Oh man, I am sorry, for rambling about something that has nothing to do with this."
"It does! We are a team now, aren't we? Let's do our best, Deku!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile by the monitors.
"Sensei, was it a right choice to let Seigi be on scene? Couldn't she possibly disturb the scene?"
"Don't worry, little Asui. That girl knows what she does!"
He made that answer with a confident smile on his face, seeing this the class agreed on that opinion.
"She also can't see the monitors, so it would be unfair to her."
'So that's the reason why she's outside', went through everyone's head now.
Meanwhile on the location of the battle trial.
Izuku and Ochaco climbed through a window to get into the building. At least the infiltration was a success.
But still, Izuku was worried.
"I am thankful for Akane that she showed me the necessary pressure points to 'suppress' One for All..."
(Flashback start)
"You should press these four points in this order to seal your power."
The moment after she pressed them Izuku felt very weak and sluggish.
"Of course, it also affects your actual strength. Now listen to me, pressing the first point restricts your power by 15%, the second will seal an additional 25%, the third 40% and the last 5%, bringing you down to a maximum release rate of fifteen percent. It seems that your body is able to completely cope with that amount of power."
Izuku nodded after he heard her explanation, it was really helpful.
"But remember, this is but a temporary solution, like putting duct tape on a broken container. Your body still tries to use 100% of One for All by each activation of it, but it's just that these seals are dams that try to hold it back. If you force it a too much, the seals will break one after another before you realize it. So, take care. Your body is very strained if you try to move in that state."
(Flashback end)
Izuku remembered Akanes words. Yes, he indeed had to take care.
"Uraraka! Go ahead!"
"What!"
Suddenly Katsuki appeared from around the corner, ambushing them, but Izuku already noticed and threw Ochaco down the hallway, at the same time he also used One for All and punched back at Katsukis attack.
"Uraraka, go ahead, I'll deal with Bakugou!"
"Huh, what? Yes!"
She took that as a signal and walked further down into the building.
Meanwhile by the monitors again.
"How unmanly from Bakugou to do an ambush! Unlike Midorya who protected Uraraka and is now challenging him."
All Might internally sighed after hearing this. These young hatchlings and their imaginations of ideals.
"An ambush is a pretty good strategy, but sadly young Midorya saw through it and countered it, I wonder how that boy will react."
Back to the battle.
"Huh, so you grew the balls to oppose me. How surprising."
"Of course! I didn't train this much for nothing. I made it until here, so there is no way in hell that I am just going to stop here."
Katsuki scoffed after he heard that. 'No way' he said.
Katsuki activated and ignited a bit of his sweat to prepare a heavy attack.
"Don't get cocky, useless Deku! I'll blow you away, but just short enough to not let this fight get interrupted!"
He swung out, but just before he truly activated his quirk, Izuku grabbed his arm and made an overhead throw with him. Before he could formulate any thoughts, he was already thrown.
"GAH!"
That throw pushed the air out of his lungs.
"Kacchan, you always lead with a big right swing. That didn't change and Arata, or should I say Akane, always took advantage of that by tilting her head to the other direction of your swing. I basically can't even count anymore how often you did that mistake."
Katsuki ruffled his head, trying to see if his five senses still worked, before kicking himself up.
"I analyzed and took notes of all the people I found amazing. You were one of them Kacchan. The same notes you blew up and tossed away. I am no longer the Deku you saw as a worthless pebble on the side of the road. Now I am the Deku who will never admit defeat!"
Katsuki looked Izuku in the eyes for a moment. He saw that he wasn't the same boy he used to be before, he used to bully. The light in his eyes changed tremendously since that day.
Suddenly he remembered the words Akane said to him right before the battle, he scoffed as he thought about that.
'What useless advice.'
But he still took stance and slowly breathed in and out.
'But I must admit that there is some truth to it.'
He looked Izuku straight into the face.
"I truly am pissed off right now."
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Izuku and Katsuki now stood before each other, they both stared each other in the face, both of them not daring to take a step towards one another.
"I have to admit it, but..."
"I hate to admit it, but..."
""That last strike of him numbed my hand!""
They both knew that the two of them were about evenly matched. In the entrance exam it was Katsukis victory by about three points, but in the apprehension tests it was Izuku victory by 30 centimeters.
By that mention Akane had to sneeze, because that idiot broke his seals during the throw, resulting in a dislocated wrist and shoulder and elbow. He was lucky that only the fourth seal broke completely and the third partially, else he had more to deal with than that.
Anyways, both of them looked each other in the eyes, before finally Katsuki made the first move.
He used his explosions to propel them forward, before giving Izuku a savage kick, well that was the plan, but Izuku dodged and rolled into another hallway, he was planning to lead Katsuki out of an exit.
"Get back here Deku and face me!"
As Izuku didn't do it, Katsuki was ticked off.
"You little...! You tricked me, didn't you? Were you having the laugh of your time as you finally got your quirk?"
Izuku stopped as he heard him say that.
"Well, your quirk is pretty awesome isn't it? When did you gain it? Last week, last month, last year, or maybe last decade? Why don't you use your wondrous appeared quirk and face me! I BET THAT MINE IS STRONGER!"
After Katsuki said that he intended to chase Izuku down, but he was all the more surprised as he stood before him.
"Look at that..."
"What do you know?"
He was confused as Izuku asked that sudden question.
"What?"
"What do you even know what I went through to awaken my quirk? You think this was just a whimsical turn of fate saying, 'wee, that poor boy looks so pathetic! Let's give him a quirk!'..."
He said that last part like a little girl would do when she admired something.
"...is that how you thought I got it!"
Katsuki didn't know what to do with that outburst, but the next moment he paid attention, Izuku was already in front of him, coiling his fist back.
'I am sorry, Akane. But I think I'll release seal four and three for this punch.'
"ALL FOR ONE, 60%"
He punched Katsuki in the stomach with that punch and launched him out of the window he came in, included wall. Katsuki was out of the building.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile by Ochaco and Tenya.
"I moved to counter you by giving this floor a thorough cleaning! Now there'll be no little tricks you can try."
"Actually, you quite helped me?"
"What?"
While he was distracted by the fact that he apparently helped Ochaco, she managed to touch him in this moment.
"I am sorry, but that just seems too easy, I think you should have listened to Akane instead of cleaning the floors! Bye!"
She gave him a push and with him being lighter it was easier for her. Thanks to the cleaned floors he lost control and fell through the windows.
Now with that out of the way Ochaco touched the bomb.
"THE HERO TEAM WINS!"
… or was it?
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Meanwhile on the roof were Akane sits:
"Whew, how exciting. Deku and Kacchan really went at it, in the battle."
Well former roof, the building she sat on was collapsed and she was sitting on some rubble above the two teens exhausted bodies.
"You two really went at it, look at you, your bodies covered all over with wounds."
She just carried both of them up in potato sack style.
"I guess I should bring you to recovery girl, but seriously. Your fight was really awesome! Makes me only more excited about my battle in a few minutes!"

HopelessHikikomori Lol, I don't know anymore. One time making a way too long line would go out of the format, the other time Webnovel manages to fix their bugs and everything is normal.
For my convenience I'll use double lines.
