Chapter 6- Rage, You Nerd

"I AMMMMM... HHHEERRREEE! COMING THROUGH THE DOOR LIKE A HEROOOO!"

"Oh, wow, it's All Might!"

"He's so manly!"

"I wanna be just like him!"

"So cool!" The class's mutters are hushed, allowing the hero to speak.

"Welcome to the most important class at UA High! Think of it as hero-ing 101! Here, you will learn the basics of being a pro! And, what it means to fight in the name of good! Let's get into it! Today's lessons will bear no punches!" Multiple excited and nervous thoughts echo around the room when All Might reveals that we will be fight training.

He continues on with his spiel, showing us our costumes and giving us the next directions. We change, dramatically entering the area we were told to meet in.

After a few moments of chattering, All Might finally gets to the point of why we're here.

"Now that you're ready, it's time for combat training!" He quickly explains that not all fights are outside, and quite a few are actually fought inside. He recites the rules, explaining that we will be split into teams of two, and then we'll face off against each other in duels.

This brings many questions, to which he responds by pulling out a script to read off of. He describes the rules; then excitedly pulls out a box to determine the teams.

TEAM A: IZUKU MIDORIYA AND MASHIRAO OJIRO!

TEAM B: SHOTO TODOROKI AND CHISATO MERA!

TEAM C: MOMO YAOYOROZU AND METORI SAIKO!

TEAM D: KATSUKI BAKUGO AND KOKOMI TERUHASHI!

TEAM E: KINESHI HAIRO AND EIJIRO KIRISHIMA!

TEAM F: TENYA IIDA AND RIKI NENDO!

TEAM G: DENKI KAMINARI AND SHUN KAIDO!

TEAM H: FUMIKAGE TOKOYAMI AND OCHACO URARAKA!

TEAM I: KUSUO SAIKI AND CHIYO YUMEHARA!

TEAM J: HANTA SERO AND TSUYU ASUI!

He brings out two more boxes, one with "Hero" and one with "Villain" written on it. He pulls out two balls, declaring the first two teams to fight.

"Team C will be the heroes, and team F the villains! Everyone else can head to the monitoring room to watch." The class nods, allowing him to briefly explain in more detai to the participating teams before following him to the room.

"Wish me luck, buddy!" Nendo yells, waving at me as I leave.

[What a pain. Why can't I get rid of him?]

We arrive at the room, watching as the match unfolds before us. I use my clairvoyance to watch closer, observing my classmates' every move.

"If you win this for us, I'll pay you a million dollars."

METORI SAIKO. HIS QUIRK: MONEY!

HE CAN CREATE MONEY OUT OF THIN AIR!

THAT'S... PRETTY MUCH IT.

"Why would I want money? I'm already rich."

"Not as rich as my family."

"How would you know?"

"My father is the richest man in Japan, and quite likely the world!"

SAIKO'S FATHER. HIS QUIRK: GOLD!

HE CAN CREATE GOLD OUT OF THIN AIR!

"We're wasting time. If you want to win, make yourself useful."

"You can't speak to me like that you plebe!"

Yaoyorozu ignores him, running off to find the bomb. Saiko is completely thrown off by her, as people usually do anything for his money.

'As long as we win, it doesn't matter.'

"Well, wait for me!" Saiko scrambles after her, doing his best not to lose his composure.

"Here, take these." Yaoyorozu hands Saiko x-ray goggles, putting a pair on herself.

"Where did you get these?"

"I made them."

"So you can create things as well."

"As long as I know the molecule structure, yes." Saiko eyes his partner, jealousy shining through him.

"So you can make money too?"

"Oh, easily." Saiko crosses his arms, pouting like the child he is. "Come on, put these on and help me look for the bomb."

"Right."

"We must device a plan to ensure our victory in this battle."

"Huh? Oh yeah, sure."

"First, we should understand how our quirks work. My quirk is engine, I have engines in my legs that allow me to run fast."

"That's it?"

"Well, what's your quirk?"

"Oh, my quirk is s-" Nendo is cut off by a cannonball to the face, which knocks him to the ground. Iida runs over to him, concerned.

"Are you ok?" He chops the air robotically, almost whacking Nendo in the face when he sits up.

"I'm fine." Iida nods at Nendo, who stands up completely, towering over Yaoyorozu. She doesn't waste a second, firing another shot out of her cannon. Saiko yelps, covering his face as she does so. The shot hits Nendo in the chest, bouncing off of him easily. This makes Yaoyorozu hesitate, but still, she jumps through the wall, making a break for the bomb.

"Not so fast!" Iida yells, grabbing the weapon and moving it away from her.

"Hey!" Yaoyorozu falls over herself, roughly landing where the weapon once was. Iida runs past Nendo, who turns to Saiko.

"He- hello." Nendo, a foot taller than Saiko, easily towers over him.

"Hi, little man." Nendo's eyes illuminate menacingly and he smiles evilly, causing Saiko to squeak and jump back slightly.

'Why can't I have bodyguards with me? Only peons would be left to fend for themselves.'

"I'll give you a million bucks if you let me win this!" Nendo's face completely shifts, confusion spreading over him.

"Huh? What would I do with that many deer?"

"No, money! I'll give you a million dollars!"

"Why would I want that?"

'Does my power not affect him either? But how? Everyone wants money! Or does he want more? That must be it.'

"Fine, I'll give you five billion dollars!" Nendo is not impressed. He decides to ignore Saiko and instead goes to help Iida with Yaoyorozu.

Yaoyorozu creates a large net but fails to capture Iida when she throws it. He's running literal circles around her, easily keeping the bomb out of her reach.

"I can do this all day, you know!"

"So can I!" Yaoyorozu creates a small taser, throwing it at Iida. It clips his shoulder, sending electric shocks through his body. He falls to the ground, immobilized. Yaoyorozu walks up to him, smiling.

I did it! I won! She reaches for the weapon, but her hand it pulled back last second.

"Wha-?" Nendo throws her away from the weapon, smashing her against the nearby wall. The wind is knocked out of her. As she attempts to catch her breath, Nendo walks up to her, his eyes glowing once more. Yaoyorozu looks up at him, backing herself into a corner. Nendo pulls his fist back, preparing to knock her out.

"TIMES UP! THE VILLAINS WIN!"

"Huh?" Nendo glances around, confused. Yaoyorozu sighs thankfully, standing up and brushing herself off.

"That was amazing. I have a lot to learn." She reaches her hand out to Nendo and they shake, Nendo still quite confused.

"What just happened?"

"We won! No thanks to me," Iida says, scratching his head nervously. "Thanks for that save back there. We would've lost if it weren't for you."

"Oh, no problem, buddy!"

The three walk out of the building, chatting about what they could've done better. Saiko remains in the building, hunched in a corner as he tries to understand how his power doesn't work on everyone.
