- Okay, everyone, listen up!
The Almighty has decided to interrupt this mess.
- We are now going to do Hero Basic Training!
- What's it gonna be?!
- Will there be expulsion for failure?
- What are the rules?
- What do you have to do?
- Will there be rules like teacher Shota's?
- Have you seen my cape, it's gorgeous, isn't it?
The voices of the students literally made the Almighty dumbfounded from shock and embarrassment in front of the students, so for about a minute everyone asked all sorts of questions, and not only on the topic.
- QUIET!
Everyone quieted down immediately.
- I will try to answer all the questions, but I ask you all to be quiet and not to speak at the same time! So...
The Almighty took out a small notebook from a special pocket on his belt and opened it, beginning to read.
- ... Basic Hero Training. As the name implies, this is the basic training that every hero must undergo during his training. And you will go through it repeatedly. Today I am the mentor at this training, but it can be a guest hero. And it is the hero who determines the basic rules of this training.
Everyone listened to the Almighty in silence, and he finally began to calm down a little.
- Today for training, you will be divided into teams of two....
- But...
- Quiet!
He interrupted Shadow, who was about to say something. And he shamefully shut up.
- I know that after the transfer of one of the students to Class 1-B, there are nineteen of you left, so one of you will have to work alone....
- It's not fair!
- What's that?!
- Who is this...
- Quiet!
A shout made everyone shut up.
- Izuku?
- I don't mind
- All right, we've decided who's going to work alone. Now let's continue. I'll choose teams and tell which team will act as the defenders of the nuclear weapon and which team will have to fight it off. There are two backstories.
The Almighty looked at us all carefully over his notebook.
- For those defending the nuclear weapons they are heroes who have learnt that the villains want to steal the nuclear weapons. The mission is to protect the nuclear weapons. For those who break through to the nuclear weapons, they are the heroes, and the enemy is the villain who somehow got hold of the nuclear weapons. The mission is to seize nuclear weapons.
- Yes?
The Almighty gingerly eyed the glove raised in the air in the gesture of an exemplary student wanting to ask a question.
- Toru Hakagure, right?
- Yes... Master...
This kind of address made Toshinori very confused.
- ...I have a question, will the bomb be real?
- Of course not! But whoever damages the mock-up will be considered the loser. Any other questions?
- Yes.
I raised my hand.
- I'm Izuku Midoriya.
- What are nuclear weapons?
- А?
- You know, like a bomb or a missile with a warhead or something?
- Well...
The Almighty scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
- ...The mock-up is in the shape of a missile, I think that's something to consider... yeah....
I nodded gratefully.
- Any more questions?
After waiting for about thirty seconds, he continued.
- So, to begin, Izuku Midoriya will be the attacker, with Katsuki Bakugo and Tenya Iida as the defenders. You have ten minutes to prepare and discuss the plan. After that, I will clap my hands with a signal and your test will begin... Ah, yes!
The almighty's exclamation made me take my mind off planning and pay attention to him.
- I completely forgot to tell you... This training has a time and place limit. To start with the location... every two teams will have a training session in their own building. You can leave the building, but you cannot move more than five metres away from it. You can't use neighbouring buildings either.
We were given a careful look.
- I would also like to point out that in the senior courses you will be awarded points for this training, and for the destruction that you will cause points will be removed. You may not think about it, but in my experience, it will be harder to retrain later, if you now accustom yourself to work without looking at the destruction. Time is ten minutes to complete the task. Is everyone clear?
- Yes!
A chorus of voices answered the Almighty's question.
- Then the first two teams can start preparing.
I shrugged my shoulders and walked towards the building the teacher pointed to.
The time allotted for making a plan flew by quickly enough and soon there was a loud clap signalling the start of training.
Inhale...
Exhale...
Let's go!
Or rather, running!
I snapped out of my seat and ran in a circle around the building, listening to my gut, of course I couldn't use a lot of things right now, like not being able to use my satellites, and a lot of gadgets, but even so....
My keen eyesight noticed when Katsuki's face flashed in the window, so turning the corner I jumped up and immediately caught the wall at the third floor level. A jerk of my arms, and I soared up another floor and a half.
I listen to my gut....
Quiet.
I crawl to the window and carefully peek inside. Katsuki was in the third floor window, but Shadow....
Empty.
Leaning my hand against the glass, I pressed on it, and it cracked with a quiet crack, showering shards inside the room.
Listen...
Silence.
And the passage is not open yet, but now through the hole in the glass you can easily slip your hand and just open the window, which I did.
So...
Once in the building, I did not go down to the floor, instead I climbed to the ceiling and slowly crawled around the building listening....
Oh... Katsuki is bombing the floor below....
Quickly finding the staircase, I realised it was guarded, which meant I had to act differently... but how? If I didn't have ten minutes and my man outside, I could act more efficiently, but what I don't have, I don't have....
I take a few pebbles and position myself so that I can't be seen from the stairs and throw one pebble down....
- Stop! I heard something!
Katsuki took a few steps forward and was in my field of vision, but he was looking down and I was on top of him, and I crawled away from him so that neither I could see him nor he could see me.
- Don't you go! We don't know all his powers!
Tenya began to press Katsuki with authority, well, as he thought. And that was a mistake.
- I know!
A little to the side, from the sound of Katsuki turning away... Indeed, which means we can throw another pebble.
- It's over there! It's over there!
- Stop!
Shadow's shout coincided with Katsuki jumping over the railing and then only his footsteps were heard.
- Damn idiot...
With a full body tense, I gently pushed off from the spot I was on, flying towards the wall, sticking and immediately pushing off... flying towards the next wall. Once again, I glued and pushed off, this time flying into the doorway where Katsuki ran out of.
And there's Tenya...
I let the web out at the guy's feet.
- He's here!
Damn Shadow and his suit! If it wasn't for his closed helmet, I wouldn't have let him make a fuss. But as they say, what we have is what we work with.
Tenya stumbled on the web, but he was already moving forward at a fairly high speed, apparently keeping his 'engine' warmed up and ready for a spurt. Well, he was mistaken in thinking that my reaction would not allow me to react to his jerk....
Patina to the ceiling and a jerk to get closer to Tenyi, who had not yet managed to get up and make ten shots of web fixing the enemy on the floor and a new jerk to the model rocket.
- Finished!
The Almighty's thunderous voice comes over the internal channel in the headphones we were given and it was at that moment that Katsuki returned to the floor.
Here he froze confusedly transferring his gaze from me touching the mock-up to his partner lying helplessly on the floor.
- Shit!
The guy kicked the doorway.
- Shit! Shit! Shit!
A few more kicks.
- Die!
Katsuki's hand blasts off, but it's not towards us, but towards the nearest window.
Hopefully he'll calm down eventually....
I approach Shadow and quickly dissolve the cobwebs with a special reagent.
- Are you okay?
I hold out my hand to him, which he grasps gratefully. So I help him up off the floor.
- Thanks... it's weird... I thought I was ready, and it turns out you still twisted me up like I was some kid.
I shrugged.
- It's just that my plan was better...
- Yeah...
Shadow took off his helmet, and I saw him smiling a little crookedly.
- Yes, it wasn't hard for me to predict Katsuki's actions as his roommate. His temper is too explosive.
- Huh... That's right!
- WHAT ARE YOU YELLING ABOUT?!
- Calm down.
I'm tilting my head to the side.
- ...there's no offence in telling the truth.
- Yeah, I'm not a rich Pinocchio! You're the one who's been practising with the pro heroes with your woman all the time!
- А?
I took one look at a dazed Shadow and nodded at the door and went out myself.
- He's the one about the Wild Wildcats. Tsuyu and I, when we started earning money by creating games, were able to hire them for training. We all dreamed of becoming heroes... But you were able to train for nothing, right?
- Ahem...
Tenya took an embarrassed look to the side.
- What are you talking about?!
- Judging by his quirk and last name, he's Ingenium's brother.
- THE TURBO HERO?!
- Yeah.
- How do you know?!
Katsuki came so close to me that I had to push him away from me a little.
- So his brother doesn't hide his identity...
I shrugged.
We finally left the building and after a few more minutes we returned to the room where all the students were.
- Well done Izuku! Now who can tell me who and where was wrong?
