MHA being a hero is very hard but I'm still standing.

Chapter 32: Midterm 1



POV "Midoriya"

The written exam wasn't hard; the pens ran and the smiles rose. When the time ended everyone was happy but the tension was hidden between the smiley lips of them all.

Aizawa took us on a bus until we reached the "Center", where all the test grounds meet. Nezu and all the teachers were waiting for our arrival.

Seeing all the teachers in one place was stunning as the worries broke to the surface turning to excitement or fear and even anxiety had a place in between.

"And now for the practical exam," the evil smile widened on Nezu's face, "mostly every 2 will fight a teacher,". I was confused, we were 20 so why mostly. But when I saw another car coming our way and Ida coming out of it, 'all make sense,'. For a brief moment, a happy sensation washed over me yet it was destroyed again when Nezu opened his mouth.

"and the unlucky one to fight alone against a teacher is…" A screen appeared from underground and the roulette started.

Deep in me, I knew I was that unlucky one, my heart was bursting out of my chest in excitement. And the roulette stopped at my name; "Izuku Midoriya," he said with the same evil smile and that excitement vanished when I knew who my opponent was, "now to the G-ground against Almight," Nezu said. 'I'm cooked' I thought.

Almight will get in the test ground after me by 10 minutes. I had 10 minutes to put up a plan; I channeled all my energy while lying on the ground to my mind. '5 minutes is too little,'. Facing him by any means is wishing for a quick loss, I understood that very well. So the question was...

What could surpass the difference in power levels and experience gap?

A trap.

That was my best option, however, considering his powers nothing I could make in 5 minutes would stop him. 'wait!'. And when it came to my mind I started gambling on my win and I'm all in.

It took me 2 minutes to return to normal. Some drops of blood surrounded me as my suit cut through me unlashing my veins.

"Sorry Mr. Almight, but I'm not willing to make it easy on either of us," I smiled as everything was ready to welcome him.

POV "Toshinori"

"Now we need to see how far our hero has reached". Nezu had said.

I opened my eyes, Nezu had told me since a week that I would face Midoriya alone. "Midoriya boy,". I never thought in my wildest dreams that I would watch someone rise from the dark like him. Everything had started as a precautionary measure, but now it was a full investing plan for the coming AFO counter. I feel bad for giving my OFA too soon; it would have helped him to shine more.

A whistle spread across the whole test ground, and the midterm practical exam had started. I put shackles around my wrists and ankles, giving Midoriya boy another minute. They were made to hold my strength and speed in check.

I heard the heavy running steps coming towards me. Out of nowhere, a dust cloud swallowed me; I clapped wiping it away to uncover the scene of an iron boot hunting my head, in a split second I put my hands in front of my face, nonetheless, nothing hit me and the heavy running steps came from my back.

I looked at his back as he ran toward the gate nonstop. Pushing my foot against the concrete until it collapsed into a spider web, I cut all the distance in one step and went for a wide hook to his body, yet I felt something off; my punch accelerated uncontrollably toward Midoriya's body, yet he put his palm to the side to block it, the moment it touched his palm all the forces vanished, and his whole arm turned red.

His face was Enlighted with a shining grin and 2 green orbs, he spun and threw a straight jap, I felt my head turning off for a moment after his jap landed, I felt a truck hitting me after that strong punch as if I was punched twice.

I saw him flying in the opposite direction, and it took me some moments to put myself back together, I reclosed the distance but before I did anything, I felt something rushing to my back so I dodged to the side, it was a giant axe. It landed in his hand and it came hunting me as fast as a bullet; I put as much power as I could and dodged to the side to see Midoriya changing his direction.

I ran after him trying to catch him but he vanished in a hallway.

Focusing on the sound and my instinct I ran to the gate's direction and found him running to it. The shackles on my wrists and ankles fell and I regained all my speed and power, however in the heat of the moment I didn't notice the change. I sent another hook with my right after cutting the space between us; I saw his eyes widen, his smile vanish, and he flew like a broken kite breaking through 4 or 5 buildings.

I was worried when I noticed that the shackles weren't on. So I ran to see if the boy was alive or not.

I followed the destruction and all I saw was just some blood on the ground, I noticed a trace of blood so I followed it until I stood in an empty hallway. My gut was telling me I was being played as the blood trace ended but without him.

I tilted my head when I felt it coming, dodging the iron boot again, however, I didn't fall for it as I gripped his leg and slammed him on the ground.

...

I forgot that I had given him a full power hook that made him break some buildings of steal and I was looking for him worried that he's dead.

Cold sweat ran down my back as Midoriya shattered in my hand into a million white pieces. I looked around me to see the green orbs profaned by the dark crimson blood, the grin of the devil made me think 'Are we raising a monster inside our lines?'.
