When heroes began their surge in popularity, it quickly became apparent that they needed a false identity and an appearance that followed the theming of it to fall back on so villains couldn't attack their families. However, some people had issues creating costumes for themselves because of one thing.
Most people never figured out how their Quirk properly functioned, at least back in the day before Quirk research became mainstream, and it became an issue when it went into designing their costumes. Heroes in the past had to either work around their Quirks or completely forgo them. That was before the time Quirk training facilities boomed in popularity and weren't outlawed.
Now, to be fair, it was never going to be an issue for Yoshihara, but it was something to consider. Due to the fact that she was masquerading her Stand as a Quirk that used explosive bubbles, she had to design her costume around the farce, as well as the fitting idea behind her hero persona.
When she wasn't training with Nemuri, she was figuring out costume ideas. Originally, she was going to go with something flashy, something that was appealing to male audiences so that it could give her the most popularity. But as time went on, Yoshihara changed her mind. Nemuri even suggested that it would've been a bad idea for her due to her past as an entertainer for… the adult crowd. That wasn't even mentioning the other factors in her past that would've caused things to be worse for her. In that train of thought, she agreed with Nemuri.
So, with that in mind, she created something else, something more appropriate for her mental well-being and for the laws of Japan. It started out as a rough design at first, like most things did in the early stages of development, but as time went on it became a fully realized idea for a hero costume. It was something down to earth, something that reminded everyone of a normal person, and someone unsuspecting to be a pro hero.
Yoshihara's costume, on paper, was a white and green pinstripe suit, the green coming from the green stripes laced in the white fabric, going down the suit in straight, vertical lines. It was meant to make her look like someone who blended in with the public, an unassuming threat to all those who called themselves a villain.
The fabric the suit was made of was a strong metal alloy fibre that, once turned into a string, became something akin to wool in terms of comfort. The alloy was resistant to explosions, as well as fire, allowing her to be in the epicentre of her own explosions without getting hurt, at least too badly. She also wanted to incorporate gloves into the design to keep her hands safe, and she found out an easy way to do so.
Since her Stand just placed the bubbles on her fingertips and didn't generate them inside of her body, she could wear gloves to protect her hands from harm. Of course, she couldn't say that, so she had to come up with something that made some semblance of sense and was also reasonable.
In the end, she came up with the excuse that her bubbles were created using the chemical makeup of the atmosphere of the earth. Her Quirk, as she would explain, pushed the carbon and oxygen into a bubble that contained traces of nitroglycerine generated from the combination of the air around it, and allowed her to launch it from her fingertips in the form of a bubble that also acted like a bomb.
And they bought the excuse hook, line, and sinker.
The gloves were white and green as well, though going for a more crisscross pattern for the design. It, again, wasn't much, but it kept her hands safe. Not to mention that it was also made of the same alloy string.
Her costume used basic black shoes as footwear, nothing too special there, although they were steel-toed. She originally was going to have a mask to go alongside it, like an air purifier, but quickly changed her mind on the matter, seeing as it would be too cumbersome.
When she sent the suit in for approval, it didn't take the design company Nemuri had outsourced, Detnerat, to approve it and ship it to U.A. upon completion, just before the deadline of April 2nd, too. She had been satisfied by the speed at which it was completed, and if she ever needed it to be upgraded, well, Detnerat was always a single call away.
The reason why Nemuri and Yoshihara picked Detnerat as their company of choice was because of the massive foothold they had in costume designing—on top of this, they were the best in the business, and Nemuri would only settle for the best for Yoshihara.
The blond felt like she was being pampered by the woman, but Nemuri assured her she was going to need that sort of pampering when it came to her future career as a hero. Not that she cared all too much, but regardless of that, she could see where Nemuri was coming from.
All of that pampering came to a point, leading to where Yoshihara was now.
Currently, she stood amongst her class within a wide faux cityscape, created specifically for training exercises. Adorned in her hero costume, she adjusted the tie that she had made in her own spare time so that the collar would be a bit tighter around her neck.
The tie was a simple black tie with yellow diagonal lines going in a crisscross pattern. In between each gap made by the yellow lines were skulls in the shape of Killer Queen's head. It wasn't the most original accessory, but it made the suit feel complete.
"Oi! Kira-san!" Josefumi's voice echoed out to her as the blond turned to face the boy in question. He was wearing a sailor uniform, minus the tacky hat, with a purple shirt that read "Jojo" going all the way through it. The shirt of his uniform was unbuttoned and only covered up to his midriff, allowing the "Jojo" shirt to be exposed. "Nice hero costume, looks really… er, well, boring. But I think it suits you!"
"I don't know whether to take that as a compliment or an insult," Yoshihara thought, scowling at the pompadour-haired teen. The boy flinched, looking away. She didn't mean to make him feel off, but then again, it was late into the day, and she really just wanted to go home. Today's classes had all been leading up to this moment. Her first real day at U.A. had been met with normal academic classes, which was much to be expected.
However, right here, right now, it was different. All of her classmates, those that she knew and those that she didn't, all stood around her in front of All Might, a teacher at U.A., which was a thought that never crossed Kira's mind. There had been rumours floating around saying that he was going to be a teacher at U.A., but she was never one to actually believe in those sorts of things.
But none of that mattered. No, not right now. Right now, what mattered was what this class was. Heroics Training, or as All Might called it, Heroics 101. Each one of her classmates had a determined look on their faces as they stood just in front of the entrance of the massive faux city, all adorned in their hero costumes.
All Might stood in front of them, a huge smile on his face. She didn't know what he was thinking, but that smile, that damned smile, it was so bright. Whenever she saw it, a part of her felt relieved. Perhaps it had been societal conditioning, perhaps it was the fact that his smile just radiated Hope. Whatever the case might have been as to why his smile made her feel better, none of that mattered, just like the rumours about him being at U.A. hadn't mattered.
What mattered were the words that came out of his mouth moments after his smile.
"Shall we begin, my wards?! It's time for Battle Training!" All Might boomed as chatter amongst the class began. Yoshihara had expected this. Well, not literally, but after seeing everyone get into their costumes, she knew full well that something was up. But battle training? Out of all the things All Might chose to do as his first lesson, he picked battle training. Now that? She hadn't expected that.
Either way, she was going to dominate in this exercise, after all, she had an unfair advantage. She had Killer Queen. Well, that was what she would have said, had it not been for the fact that she limited herself to her bubble bombs.
But that didn't mean she couldn't be creative with them.
The blond saw All Might hold back a laugh, and for a brief second, she was able to track his line of sight, leading over to Izuku. His costume… well, it was interesting, to say the least. It was a green jumpsuit with a face mask mixed with a pullover hood. On top of the hood were two massive antenna-looking things in the shape of All Might's famous pointed hair. Yoshihara had to repress a chuckle as well. The costume was so clearly based on All Might that it was almost too obvious.
Baby steps, he was taking baby steps, but it was fine. After all, the kid was still a massive fan of All Might, so, of course, his costume was going to be based on the guy. She was still upset over the fact that he didn't tell her about his Quirk awakening, and while he did say that he was sorry over the phone, Yoshihara still found it hard to believe that he had actually been sorry.
Then again, he had probably been so used to keeping things to himself because of Bakugo that she forgave him, even if it was only a little bit.
"Sensei! This appears to be the same field used in the Entrance Exam. Will we once again be performing cityscape maneuvers?!" The sudden voice of Ida Tenya spoke out as Yoshihara raised an eyebrow. Did they use this place for the Entrance exam? It made sense thinking about it. With that many participants, it was no wonder they needed so much space.
"I'm honestly kinda glad I didn't have to be squeezed in with so many people…" Yoshihara thought, crossing her arms. "Though that only means that these people truly are the best of the best. I cannot hold back if what we're doing is what I think we're doing."
And as if All Might was psychic, her question was answered.
"Nope! You'll be moving on to step two! Indoor Anti-personnel Battle Training!!" All Might began, his smile ever-present. "Villain battles are more commonly seen outdoors, but statistically, the most heinous villains are more likely to appear indoors. Between confinement, house arrest, and black market deals… in this hero-filled society of ours…." All Might stopped for a moment to clear his throat before continuing. "The cleverest villains out there lurk indoors!!" All Might finished, standing in his famous "two fists on hips" pose.
"You'll now be split into Villain teams and Hero teams and face off in two-on-two indoor battles!!" This declaration caused quite a stir amongst the students, and as a result, murmuring began to occur. Yoshihara was unperturbed, after all, she was confident that she could beat any of her fellow classmates. It was then, in the cacophony of voices, a rather nasally voice spoke up, one belonging to Asui Tsuyu.
"So no basic training?" The hunched-over girl asked as All Might nodded.
"Practical experience teaches you the basics!" The pro hero replied before continuing. "The distinction here is that you won't be fighting disposable robots."
And with that, the teacher was bombarded with questions, much to All Might's and Yoshihara's dismay.
"What determines victory?"
"Can I just blast everyone away?"
"Are you threatening to expel someone like Aizawa-sensei did…?"
"How do we proceed to divide ourselves into teams?"
"How fabulous is my cape?"
"ONE AT A TIME! MY QUIRK ISN'T SUPER-HEARING!!" All Might boomed, causing everyone to quiet down. The pro let out a sigh, his smile beaming once more. Then, he took out a booklet and began to read it, much to a few people's confusion, including Yoshihara.
"Does the number one pro hero really require a notebook to teach a bunch of teenagers? I guess he's not the most experienced teacher in the world, which makes sense, but still…."
"A-hem, listen up!! Here's the deal. The villains will be hiding a nuclear weapon in the hideout. It's the job of the heroes to go in and take care of it! The heroes have a limited amount of time to capture the villains or secure the weapon. The villains must either capture the heroes or protect the weapon until the time is up." As All Might finished explaining, he turned around back to the rest of the class with a box with the word "lots" on the front. "Your battle partners will be decided by drawing lots!"
With a swift sense of concern, Ida was the first to chime in out of everyone in the class. "Is that really the best way?!" The boy in the suit of armour asked as Midoriya spoke up to answer in All Might's stead.
"It makes sense because pro heroes often have to team up with heroes from other agencies on the spot during emergencies," Midoriya said, catching Ida's attention. Yoshihara smirked, uncrossing her arms. Of course, Midoriya would know that, it was in his blood to know that. He was a hero nerd after all.
"Ah, I see…." Ida said, sighing.
"No, young Ida, it was my fault for not clarifying. I apologize for getting ahead of myself, my mistake!" All Might said as the rest of the class echoed each other's thoughts of 'let's just get into it.' All Might went around letting everyone pick the balls out of the box with the corresponding letter on each ball from A through J.
Team A: Midoriya Izuku & Uraraka Ochako.
Team B: Todoroki Shoto & Shoji Mezou.
Team C: Yaoyorozu Momo & Kira Yoshihara.
Team D: Ida Tenya & Bakugou Katsuki.
Team E: Aoyama Yuuga & Ashido Mina.
Team F: Rikido Sato & Koda Koji.
Team G: Kaminari Denki & Jirou Kyoka.
Team H: Asui Tsuyu & Tokoyami Fumikage.
Team I: Mashiaro Ojiro & Kujo Josefumi.
Team J: Sero Hanta & Kirishima Eijirou.
With the teams selected, Both Yaoyorozu and Kira stood side by side, greeting one another with a simple nod of acknowledgement. The ravenette smiled before speaking. "It's good to know that I'm partnered with someone who I somewhat know the Quirk of," Momo commented as Yoshihara hummed in agreement.
Yoshihara looked over her shoulder and noticed that Midoriya had been partnered with Uraraka, and his face was noticeably red, though more out of embarrassment than anything else. Josefumi had been paired up with the guy with the tail, the two had been talking almost as if they knew each other. It was a small world, so perhaps that had been the case. Or maybe they met at the Entrance Exam? That too was also a possibility.
"ALRIGHT!" All Might's voice boomed, catching everyone's attention once more as he stood beside two boxes. The boxes had the titles "Hero" and "Villain" in bold capital letters. "Moving on, the first two teams who will be competing against one another are… THESE!" All Might pulled out two balls with the letters 'A' and 'D.'
"The heroes are Team A! And the villains are Team D!" All Might declared, putting the balls off to the side before beginning another explanation, one that Yoshihara saw coming from a mile away.
"The villain team goes first! The timer starts in five minutes when the hero team sneaks in. The rest of us will watch via CCTV!" The pro hero stated, looking over to both teams. "Ida, Bakugo, you boys need to adopt a villain mindset! This is a practical experience, so go all out. Don't hold back! Though, I will stop you if you take things too far…." All Might, tacking on the last bit as if to cover his ass if something bad truly did happen. Yoshihara frowned at this, though said nothing. Yoshihara, along with everyone else, was funnelled into the viewing room and watched the battle via the six monitors set up within the viewing room.
It. Was. Rough.
Midoriya was never properly given a chance to fight back against Bakugo when said boy ambushed both him and Uraraka—who split up, which was dumb, and Bakugo took things a bit too far nearing the end. Whatever he was doing caused All Might to step in and tell him to stop, though the blond bomber ignored it and attacked Midoriya anyway, unleashing a massive explosion that nearly took up the entire hallway. None of the other students could hear what was going on, but Yoshihara for one was NOT liking what it was she was seeing.
The battle concluded on the side of the heroes, spurred on by Midoriya using his Quirk to blast a hole through six floors of the building, allowing Uraraka to take Ida by surprise, hug the bomb, and lead to their victory. However, as a result, Midoriya's entire right arm was absolutely destroyed.
Of course, everyone made comments on the battle, but Yoshihara had blocked them all out, even All Mights. All she wanted to do was watch the fight and analyze what was going on to better understand the fight and its fighters, yet she barely understood the absolute fury that was strewn across Bakugo's face and the annoyance in Midoriya's.
Clearly, they had some sort of unhealthy rivalry going on. One that needed to be stopped, that way the two of them can leave each other alone.
The entire time the fight went on, Yoshihara watched with bated breath. Bakugo had taken things a step too far each time and seemed to have no remorse for his actions, hell, it even looked like he enjoyed doing it. While no one could hear their conversations, it was clear that Bakugo was the aggressor, and despite being a bit bolder, Izuku was still cowering in front of Bakugo.
"That blond asshole…. He's not going to make it through this year, I'll make damn sure of that…." Yoshihara thought, staring at Bakugo's face on one of the cameras with murderous intent. He had no excuse, not even his anger was an excuse. She was going to make sure that the boy paid dearly for what he had done. Kira didn't know what it was she was going to do to him yet, but she knew that she couldn't kill him, much to her chagrin.
When the two teams, sans Midoriya, who was with Recovery Girl getting his arm fixed, the group of three all lined up in front of All Might. The number one pro hero looked at them all with a judgmental eye, grading them internally. The awkward silence was broken by the titular hero as he spoke.
"Well, I'd say… the M.V.P in this battle was Ida!" All Might stated, causing shock, annoyance, and upset amongst the other three. Though Midoriya wasn't there to hear it, Yoshihara would've had to assume that he'd feel the latter.
"Not Uraraka, or Midoriya? Even though they won?" Tsuyu was the one to ask as All Might hummed.
"I wonder why? Does anyone know?!" All Might asked emphatically as Yaoyorozu spoke up beside Yoshihara.
"I do, All Might-Sensei," the ravenette said, clearing her throat to begin a lengthy explanation.
"It's because Ida was most able to adapt to the scenario. From what I saw, Bakugo's every action was motivated by an obvious personal grudge. And as you mentioned before, sensei, using destructive attacks indoors is foolish. Midoriya's performance suffered from the same faults. Uraraka lost focus halfway through, and her final attack was far too haphazard. Such an attack would be unthinkable if the nuclear weapon were real. But Ida formed an actual counter-strategy and he envisioned what the actual struggle would be like. He was only too late in reacting at the very end. The hero team only won because this was a training exercise with exploitable constraints."
A wave of silence washed over the class, leaving everyone, including All Might, in awe of Yaoyorozu's observational skills. Yoshihara had to blink a few times. She had been paired up with a genius! All Might coughed into his hand before shaking his head. "I-I'd also add that Ida was a bit too stiff but… Yes… You're correct…!"
Yaoyorozu simply huffed, a flat expression on her face. "We've got to start at the bottom and work up! And if we don't earnestly cheer each other on we'll never be top heroes!" Yaoyorozu said, putting her hands on her hips. She was the number 1 recommended first year, after all, so she had to show it.
A new location had to be picked for the next battle, seeing as the previous building was destroyed, though it had the same idea. A tall building with three to four floors within. Team B - Shoji Mezou and Shoto Todoroki, and I – Mashiaro Ojiro and Josefumi Kujo were picked. Currently, the villain Team, Team I, was up on the top floor. Between the two teams, Josefumi's team was a little bit more prepared than Team B.
Josefumi was looking out of the window as the two hero participants were hiding behind a corner, trying and failing to be sneaky, silently, a bubble began to float down towards the back of Todoroki's head, out of the visage of both Shoji and the dual-haired boy. "So… what's the plan, Kujo-san?" Ojiro asked as Josefumi smirked, looking over his shoulder to look at Ojiro.
"Please, call me Fumi-kun, we're classmates, not acquaintances. Anyways, I think I should tell you a bit about my Quirk first and foremost. My Quirk – Plunder, allows me to create bubbles out of my fingertips. These bubbles can steal an aspect from a person upon making contact with them, or if they pop in the area they are in. This extends to Quirks." As Josefumi explained this, as if to prove a point, he pointed up his index finger and revealed a bubble with a star in the middle of it.
"W-What, you can steal Quirks?!" Ojiro said, freaking out as Josefumi shook his head.
"No. I can steal ASPECTS of Quirks. Basically, I can shut it down and prevent them from using it. I can also do that with any part of the body. For example, I can make it so you can't move your arm, or blink, or even see. I could take the friction out of your feet, or I can make the floor slippery. Basically, I can render someone completely useless in a fight," Josefumi corrected, his smirk ever-present.
Technically, he wasn't lying if he was simply explaining his Stand's, Soft & Wet's, Ability.
"Oh, okay. So, what's the plan then? You seem to be thinking of something, so what is it?" Ojiro asked as Josefumi turned to face him.
"Here's the thing. I've already enacted it. Tell me, who do you think the person who is going to give us the most trouble is?" Josefumi asked as Ojiro hummed, leaning against the bomb.
"Well, I'd have to say it's Todoroki, but I'm not sure I follow…" Ojiro said as the pompadour-haired teen crossed his arms.
"Well, I asked All Might in advance if it was okay for me to set up my plan in advance, and he was okay with it. Right now, I have one of my Plunder bubbles near Todoroki's head. A little note about them is that since they're basically see-through, you'd have to squint to see them, and since Todoroki is completely unaware of what my Quirk can do, he won't even bother looking at it or thinking anything of it. That will be his downfall. I plan to make him unable to use his Quirk, completely. I had a feeling that he'd try and freeze the whole building to prevent us from winning and take the easy win for him and his team. But I won't let him do that. The moment that timer starts, that bubble is going to pop, and when it does… Todoroki will be rendered completely useless to his partner."
Ojiro gaped at the plan, but slowly, that shocked expression turned to an amused one. "I have to say, that's genius of you, Fumi-kun. It sounds like you have battle experience already!" The tail-man said as the Joestar huffed.
"Trust me, when you're related to the Joestars, it's in one's nature to be a tactical genius." The timer buzzed, and the bubble popped, causing Todoroki to flinch. Rubbing the back of his head, he looked around, shrugged, then entered the bottom floor of the building.
"Did it work?" Ojiro asked as Josefumi nodded.
"Let's see how this plays out now… you thought you had the upper hand, Todoroki, but now you're on a level playing field with the rest of us, Ojiro, we're going to make our way to the bottom floor, let's go!" Josefumi said, turning to the stairwell.
"But wait, what about the bomb?!" Ojiro shouted as Josefumi smirked.
"We don't need to worry about it. They'll be too busy trying to figure out why Todoroki's Quirk isn't working to focus on the bomb. Once we get down there, I need you to immobilize the big guy, that way we won't have to deal with him. Now come on, let's capture us some heroes!"
Meanwhile, Todoroki and Shoji stood at the bottom floor as Shoji's multiple arms spread out, several mouths coming out from the webbing between them. "They're running down here and leaving their bomb unprotected, I wonder why that is…." Shoji said, crossing his arms. "It might be a trap, they can't be that stupid…," he continued, looking at Todoroki.
"Get outside. It's about to get frosty in here. Our opponents think they're playing a defensive game, but…." As he stomped his foot down, attempting to shoot out ice, nothing came. Todoroki raised an eyebrow and did it again, but it failed.
"Uh… Todoroki, is everything alright?" Shoji asked, his tone of voice filled with concern as the dual-haired boy's eyes widened.
"No…! My Quirk, it's not activating, but why?" The boy said looking at his hand, not even seeing any flakes of ice coming off of it. "Does one of them have a Quirk like Aizawa-sensei's, or, perhaps… no, Aizawa-sensei wouldn't be here, that's improbable. So what the hell is going on?" "What are our enemies Quirks, Shoji?" Todoroki asked as the multi-armed teen blinked.
"Ojiro's is just called Tail for self-explanatory reasons, and Kujo's is… actually, I don't know. He barely used it at the apprehension test, and I didn't see him at the entrance exam. Do you think…?" Shoji left the question unanswered when suddenly, alarms rang off in Todoroki's head.
"That popping sound we heard at the beginning of the match. It sounded like a bubble! That bubble… I think it might have something to do with why I can't use my Quirk. I can't even feel my left or my right side. It's almost as if—"
"As if it was shut down, right?" The sudden appearance of Josefumi caught the two off guard, his hands in his pockets as he smirked. The teen's eyes locked with Todoroki's, who presented a glare towards the pompadour-haired teen. "I knew you'd try something like that, attempting to freeze the whole building. It was a gut feeling, and I'm glad it paid off. My Quirk steals aspects from people, including Quirks. Basically, you're fighting Quirkless. You have nothing to fight back with. So now, you actually have to rely on strategy to fight me. You can't just one shot the entire building and make us look like fools!" Josefumi said, a glint in his eye.
"Shoji, take him out!" Todoroki commanded as the muscular boy ran towards him, yet Josefumi stood calm. As Shoji raised his hand to attack the teen, a tail smacked up against his head, the blow was hard enough to rattle his head, sending him to the ground unconscious. Landing on his feet, Ojiro bound Shoji's arms together using his own capture tape, leaving a stunned Todoroki.
"WHAT?!" The confused shout of Todoroki echoed out in the building as Josefumi closed the distance between the two. Todoroki tried to react with a poorly choreographed punch, only for Josefumi to grab it, then bend his arm away from his chest, causing the dual-haired boy to wince.
"Without your Quirk, you're nothing. With a little bit of forethought and predetermined knowledge about me, you probably could've won," reeling his fist back, Josefumi punched the confused Todoroki under the chin, causing him to fly backwards and onto his back, dazed and confused. "But you were so caught up in your own plan to attack us that you never had the idea to think about who your opponents were," Josefumi said, kneeling to Todoroki as he stared the boy in the eyes. One of the shoulders of his outfit slipped down just a bit to reveal a star-shaped birthmark on the back of his shoulder.
Todoroki's eyes widened as his arms were bound by his own capture tape, courtesy of Josefumi. "Y-You're a Joestar…! Damnit… I should have known. Kujo was the name of a famous hero before the time of Pro-heroes. You're his great-grandson, aren't you? The great-grandson of Jotaro Kujo."
"Damn right, and don't you ever forget it, Todoroki Shoto," Josefumi said, picking him up by his taped wrist.
"THE VILLAIN TEAM WINS!" All Might announced as an annoyed Todoroki looked away. Josefumi snapped his fingers as the half-and-half boy felt his Quirk return to him. Overall, today had been a not-so-great day for Shoto Todoroki.
"I underestimated him. I now know not to do that in the future. I will not let something like this happen again. I'm a recommended Student, damnit, and I cracked under the pressure. He's right. Without my Quirk, I'm nothing. I think I should fix that." As Todoroki finished his train of thought, Ojiro slapped Shoji in the face, waking him up as the tall brute sat up.
"Did we…?"
"You lost. Hopefully, there are no hard feelings," Josefumi said as Shoji nodded.
"Yeah. You simply outplayed us. Although, I have to ask, what exactly is your Quirk, Kujo-san?" Shoji asked as Josefumi walked beside the big man while the other two dashed ahead.
"First of all, it's Fumi-kun, secondly, my Quirk is called Plunder. It allows me to plunder an aspect of a person's body, be it sight, hearing, touch, feeling, and even Quirks, rendering that part of them useless. It generates in the form of a bubble that comes out from my fingertips. I used it to deactivate Todoroki's Quirk and pretty much guarantee our win," Josefumi replied, earning a nod from Shoji.
"That's a really good Quirk. I'm surprised you weren't a recommended student," the teen said, walking out of the building with Josefumi. The pompadour-having teen simply scoffed, putting his hands behind his head.
"I was originally going to be, but I changed my mind and rejected the recommendation. I wanted to get in on my own merits, not because I was pre-selected by some random hero who thought I was good enough to be given a free slide into the school of my dreams," Josefumi said, putting his hands back down to his sides.
Shoji smiled underneath his mask, nodding. "That's rather considerate of you, Fumi-kun. But what would've happened if you didn't make it into U.A.?" the teen asked as Josefumi shrugged.
"Probably work with the Speedwagon Foundation, considering my family practically owns it," Josefumi replied. The rest of the walk back to the viewing room was silent as they picked up the pace.
When the group of four made it into the observation room, All Might laughed heartily before clearing his throat. "Well done Villain Team! Now, who can tell me who the MVP of that battle was?" this time, it was Tsuyu who spoke up instead of Yaoyorozu.
"I think it was Kujo—"
"Call me Fumi-kun. That's what everyone calls me, not Kujo-san or Kujo, please and thank you!" Josefumi interrupted as Tsuyu nodded. Yoshihara raised an eyebrow, crossing her arms as Josefumi shushed her, turning the blond's face into a scowl.
"Right, sorry, Fumi-kun. He was MVP of the match, not only because of his planning ahead but his use of his Quirk to neutralize Todoroki. Not only did he plan ahead, but he used his Quirk in such a manner that made it impossible to guess what it was until it was too late. His positioning of the Quirk as well, having it behind Todoroki's point of view, was also smart—ribbit—and his coordination with his team member allowed for the plan to be conducted in a rather simple, easy-to-follow way so as not to confuse his teammate."
As Tsuyu finished explaining, All Might nodded. "Well said, now, let's move on to the next match! Team C, Yaoyorozu Momo, and Team G, Kaminari Denki and Jirou Kyoka! Team Heroes will be Team G and Team Villains will be Team C!" All Might said as the two teams stood up. As the two teams stood up, Yoshihara felt a sense of determination flow through her. Right here, right now, she was going to prove to her class just how strong she was.
Yoshihara was going to win this, no matter what.
