บท 8: Chapter 8: USJ Incident Pt.1

"All Might, Thirteen, and I have been assigned to supervise you for today's Foundational Hero Course Study. Saving civilians through flames and floods, the Trial Of Rescue," Aizawa announced.

The USJ incident huh. This was one of the big events that motivated Class 1A to push themselves harder and dominate in the Sports Festival. Well, they're pretty strong as is but they'd still get mopped by Monoma right now, especially with no info on his quirk. That reminds me, never let that creep touch me. Not sure if he can copy my quirk or not but I'm not willing to take the chance.

"It's up to you to decide if you want to wear your hero costumes, though some of your costumes may not be accustomed to certain conditions. We'll be taking the bus to get to the training area so get dressed," Aizawa shuffled out the room.

I looked over at our main protagonist pumping his fist. Ah, if only you knew the things that would come. A man who can open his warp holes as wide as he wants and one who hasn't realized the existence of chapstick. The fuel of nightmares.

I chuckled to myself getting the attention of Mina.

"You excited for the rescue training Ryu?"

"Yeah, you could say I am" I gave her a smile before getting up to get changed.

>>>>>

Standing next to the bus I was lost in thought before I felt a poke in my side.

"Hm?" I looked towards Momo who stood beside me and nodded her head toward the class. Oh yeah, orderly line and whatever.

"Oi," everyone stopped chatting and looked towards me. "Get in a line and enter the bus," I said, receiving a nod of approval from Momo. Couldn't you have done this? I thought you wanted to be class president.

Sitting on the bus, I closed my eyes and just listened to the class discussions.

"Y'know Midoriya, your quirk reminds me a lot of All Might's" said Tsuyu.

"H-haha r-really? W-well my q-quirk-," stop stuttering Midoriya, you're way too suspicious. How is no one else suspicious? Well if you haven't watched the anime I guess you wouldn't suspect that All Might would transfer his quirk to a quirkless kid with a quirky personality. Ha, I'm hilarious.

"Nah no way, All Might doesn't get hurt when he uses his quirk. I'm kinda jealous though that you have that kind of strength enhancer quirk. It's pretty flashy and you can do a lot with it, unlike my Hardening. It's pretty good for some beat-downs but not really eye-catching," Kirishima said, hardening his arm.

"No way! It's totally cool and it's perfect for hero work!" Midoriya started fangirling over quirks again but he's not wrong. I nodded my head to his judgment. He may be a weirdo but he is smart, though he makes it hard to see it with that ridiculous act of his.

"Yeah but it's not all about that, it's a lot like a popularity contest isn't it?" I hum to Mina's question. "You totally wouldn't be popular with your broody personality Ryu!" Mina pointed and got a few chuckles from the rest of the class. I looked at her with a look that said 'why though?'.

"But his quirk is crazy powerful. Let's not forget Bakugou and Todoroki. They've got flashy and powerful quirks too"

"Yeah but Bakugou's always angry so he wouldn't be well-received," said Tsuyu, getting Bakugou to start spewing insults and the classes incessant teasing.

"Quiet down, we're almost there" Aizawa called out from the front.

Standing at the USJ entrance, the class marveled at everything in the facility.

"Flood wrecks, landslides, fires, etc. This is the practical area that I created to simulate disasters and for training, it is named The Unforeseen Simulation Joint" Thirteen announced with pride. I'm not too on board with that name honestly but whatever, it doesn't diminish how impressive the place is. A shame most of it will be wrecked but we have a humanoid clay man so no problem.

Aizawa asked where All Might was and Thirteen pulled him a distance away to discuss something, their whispers were still loud to me, or I'm simply replaying their conversation from the anime in my head and I think I'm hearing it. I don't know.

After Thirteen's warning speech about our quirks and society we gave our applause.

Suddenly Aizawa stared at the fountain as an unmoisturized hand emerges from a dark void. Disgusting. I never wanna see that except in an explicit film.

"Everyone get to the entrance! Thirteen protect the students!" Aizawa yelled and clutched his scarf.

"Is this part of the training?"

"No! Those are real villains!"

"Eh!" Everyone was startled and took a step back as a horde of villains poured out of the warp gate. Damn, look at all that cannon fodder. Ha, couldn't be me.

"Ah...I wonder if he'll come if I kill these kids..." I heard Shigaraki say to no one in particular. You've got it mixed up pal, you come before the kids are shot, you need a lesson in sex ed. Okay wait that didn't come out right...

As I was lost in thought the others were discussing what to do.

"Thirteen, why haven't the sensors picked them up yet?" Momo asked.

"They've obviously jammed it with some kind of quirk, others the other teachers would have been alerted and All Might would be here," Todoroki said as he glared at the group. "This was carefully planned"

"Someone must have a quirk that interferes with radio waves..." Eraser Head fixed his goggles over his eyes and jumped down to engage in combat with the villains. Watching him fight was really an inhuman level of strength that he displayed.

His cloth defied the laws of physics as much as Captain America's shield.

Pulling along Midoriya who was in a daze, we ran toward the entrance only to be blocked by Kurogiri and his giant mass. What is wrong with me and these jokes today? It's probably cause I'm slightly nervous.

"Greetings students, we are the league of villains. We apologize for being so presumptuous as to invite ourselves onto UA campus grounds. We have come here with the goal of eliminating the Symbol Of Peace. I see he is not here, was the schedule wrong perhaps? No matter, my task is to deal with you students" Kurogiri started expanding but Kirishima and Bakugou already leaped at him and enveloped him in an explosion.

"Bet you never saw that coming huh!?" Kirishima yelled.

"Ah, I have forgotten. You may be students but you are the cream of the crop. But you are not enough, now scat-" Kurogiri didn't get to finish his sentence as I stepped forward.

"RASHOMON: GOKU MON AGITO" I growled, my Rashomon taking a giant bite out of Kurogiri's mist, resulting in his anguished screams. So Rashomon works on this guy huh? Interesting.

I didn't get to finish my thoughts as Kurogiri warped us away in anger. You mad bro? I smirk at him before I'm suddenly falling towards a destroyed road. Activating Rashomon I soften my fall and stand up only to start coughing uncontrollably.

Looking around everything was dyed in a orange and red hue, smoke coming out of buildings that were hazy from all the heat.

Fuck. That bastard dropped me in the worst disaster scenario. The Fire Zone.

I hunched on the floor and felt my hand become wet with blood. I can't last long like this. I should've gotten some type of support item to filter oxygen or something. I'm such an idiot.

Suddenly I felt a hand on my shoulder and looked up at the face of Ojiro who asked me with concern and worry in his voice.

"Hey Akutagawa, you alright? We're surrounded and I need your help" Ojiro helped me stand up as I wiped my blood on my jabot and used it to cover my mouth and nose as am improvised mask.

"I'm fine. I just can't handle places like this" I tell him as I push off of him and stand up straight glaring at the villains approaching us.

"We need to get this over with fast. The rest of the class may be in trouble, especially Mr. Aizawa. Fighting all those villains won't be easy, so the plan is I'll support you from behind while you engage in close combat. Let's go," I growl, getting a nod of agreement from Ojiro as he sped forward.

Fucking Kurogiri. Was it a coincidence that he sent me to one of the places I would be weakened in or was this planned? No, they sent Tsuyu to a water disaster scenario, they don't have information on our class besides the schedule.

What rotten luck. Whatever, let's just take out the trash in front of me and join up with the rest.

"Rashomon: Sawarabi," spikes stuck up from the ground and immobilized the villains Ojiro managed to take down. I sent more tendrils out, working in tandem with Ojiro. I swear I could hear Mineta's annoying screams in my ear but it must just be this heated situation getting to me.
