The Light Hero: Beacon

Chapter 10: The fated battle between Rivals



Izuku was covered in the familiar light of his [FLOW STATE] as he launched himself at Katsuki in a flash of white light.

The blonde had to squint a bit at the sudden flash, but his reflexes were sharp enough to dodge the attack at his face by going down into a sweeping kick.

Izuku jumped up, launching himself from the ceiling and struck with his right leg.

[15% MANCHESTER SMASH]

Katsuki blasted back, managing to avoid the hit completely.

The floor hadn't though, and both of them fell through the spreading cracks down to the ground floor.

Izuku landed first and looked up immediately to see a huge blast coming towards him.

It took everything he had to escape the impact.

In the earpiece he had, he heard All Might-sensei talk about how reckless it was and that if Katsuki tried to pull something like that again he would have the blonde disqualified.

"What was that" Izuku asked his friend.

"I stored up sweat in these" Katsuki gestured to his arm gauntlets "and release it all together. You got the result I think."

Izuku nodded "Big boom."

They both rushed each other, unleashing a flurry of hits from their respective weapons.

 

In the monitor room, the entire class looked on as both of them fought so aggressively the foundations of the building started shaking.

"This is crazy" Mineta cried out.

"Crazy good" Kirishima yelled with manly tears running down his face "SO MANLY!"

"How is it possible to be this good at combat at our age" Iida said out loud.

All Might, who had heard this comment decided to tell the students something about the 2.

"Allow me to answer you young Iida! Both young Midoriya and Young Bakugo were actually judged by the Hero Association as fit to be sidekicks to heroes like me and Endeavour before they even applied for this school! They refused for their own reasons, but you can clearly see why!"

Most of the class, except a few like Yaoyorozu (who already knew) and Todoroki (He narrowed his eyes because that's his thing apparently) had their jaws on their ground.

 

"Midoriya-Kun"

Izuku didn't falter for a second as he heard Uraraka's voice in his earpiece, just jumped back and touched the mic with his hand to respond.

"Yeah?"

"Iida-Kun found me. I'm stalling for now, but I could use help"

"DON'T BE GETTING DISTRACTED NOW!"

Before Izuku could respond, he was hit by a blast from his side, launching him and causing him to actually bounce on the ground before getting back up.

He had an idea though.

He sent out a beacon of light with the thickness of a pen through the floors, till it reached the third.

"I just sent up a line of light up, do you see it?" he whispered to his partner as he picked up his fallen blade and threw it at Katsuki, who was ducked to dodge.

"Yeah, I see it"

"I'm gonna continue my fight. Just say 'NOW' when it's right behind Iida, okay?"

"Okay!" she said, seemingly understanding his plan.

"YOU'VE BEEN IGNORING ME FOR A WHILE!"

Izuku had to backflip to dodge the explosion.

Wordlessly, he launched himself at Katsuki, using simple martial arts enhanced with the [FLOW STATE] to go back and forth with the blonde.

His friend grinned, threw away his staff and responded in kind, using blasts to boost his hits.

Izuku made sure to keep moving around, making sure that light beacon he had sent made its way around until…

"MIDORIYA-KUN, NOW!"

With a grin, Izuku kicked Katsuki away and launched himself up.

 

Uraraka had been taunting Iida, mainly just making fun of rules.

When she made fun of the dress code, she was pretty sure he actually growled.

Obviously, she didn't enjoy this, but she had to make sure Iida didn't notice the line of white light coming from the floor.

She had done her best to make sure he didn't notice by walking in a slow circle so that it was behind him, and when the line was about a metre behind him, she gave her teammate the signal.

She had assumed Midoriya would send up a distraction or something to give her an opening.

Instead, the floor shattered as Midoriya flew through the opening, glowing and a crazy grin on his face.

Realising her chance, Uraraka ran like hell to grab the bomb.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Iida be kicked in the torso, sending him flying while Midoriya panted, wiping some sweat from his head.

"HERO TEAM WINS!" All Might declared in their comms.

 

"Could anyone tell me who the MVP was?"

Izuku and the other 3 stood along with the rest of their class as All Might-sensei stood beside the monitors, the screens showing multiple points from the whole thing.

While most of the class chorused Izuku's name,

"Sensei!" Momo raised her hand at the back "I believe it was Iida-san"

She flashed Izuku and apologetic look, but continued " Midoriya and Bakugo left their respective teammates behind to fight. While Uraraka-San's stalling was definitely crucial to the plan, it was Iida-san who actually did his part."

'She said more than I was going to' Sweat-dropped All Might "All correct, young Yaoyorozu!"

 

**rest of the battles go the same**

 

 

"Settle down" said Aizawa-sensei, getting out of his yellow sleeping bag.

"Today, you will be…"

Everyone tensed, waiting to hear what crazy trial their sensei was going to give them next.

"Selecting a Class Representative."

'IT'S A NORMAL SCHOOL THING' everyone thought in relief. Then…

"PICK ME!"

"I'LL DO IT!"

"IF I BECOME CLASS PREZ GIRLS WILL HAVE TO SHOW 30 CM OF THIGH!"

"I'LL KILL YOU GRAPIST"

"CALM DOWN EVERYONE!"

Everyone flinched and looked at the now standing Iida "The position of class representative is one that must be for the people and by the people. I suggest we vote."

"Wouldn't everyone vote for themselves?" questioned Tsuyu.

"That is precisely why the one with multiple votes is the most deserving of the position. Will you allow this?" Iida asked Aizawa-sensei.

Sensei was already in his sleeping bag, and just replied with a sleepy " I don't care, just be done in 10 minutes."

 

 

Izuku munched on a bite of his Katsudon as he looked up to see Itsuka and Tetsutetsu approaching

They both greeted everyone with a Yo and sat down with whatever they were eating.

"How was All Might's class?" Testu asked earnestly "We have him tomorrow."

"All Might-sensei has provided us with invaluable practical experience that will surely benefit us for years to come and I can only commend the way he…"

While Iida continued his speech, Uraraka answered the silver haired teen's question.

"He made us do a battle stimulation, and Midoriya-Kun and Bakugo-Kun had a fated battle between rivals!"

Again, she had a weird fire in her eyes when she said that.

That wasn't the only weird thing though, because Katsuki actually snorted into his super spicy ramen before looking up in confusion.

"What did you just say Pink cheeks?"

Before Uraraka could finish her sentence, and alarm blared.

"THERE IS A LEVEL 3 SECURITY BREACH. ALL STUDENTS PLEASE EVACUATE IN A CALM AND ORDERLY FASHION"

"What does level 3 security breach mean" Itsuka asked a 3rd year who was rushing by them.

"It means someone's managed to get onto the school grounds! This has never happened in my 3 years here! You all should get out of here too!" he said frantically before running towards the exit corridor.

While everyone was pushed by each other in what could only be called a mob, Izuku (who just phased through the pushing) and Katsuki (who was too intimidating to push apparently).

The blonde wasted no time in looking around, before directing his attention to Iida, who was pointing at the windows and yelling something Izuku couldn't quite hear.

"It's the fucking media" Katsuki cursed, as the two looked through the window as well to see what was going on "the NPCs are gonna kill themselves if this goes on"

Izuku didn't answer, instead opting to use his quirk to create a huge flash of bright white light, causing everyone to look at him wildly.

"IT'S JUST THE MEDIA" he yelled at the top of his voice "EVERYONE CALM DOWN. HELP THE TRAMPLED STUDENTS AND LET'S FINISH OUR FOOD LIKE NORMAL CIVILISED PEOPLE"

Everyone stared at him, but a few people (with a small surge of pride, Izuku realized most of those were his own classmates) started helping people up and slowly but surely, the mob had gone back to whatever they were doing.

 

"The press should not be able to do this"

"You got that right" said Present Mic, who was standing at the disintegrated main gate along with Eraserhead, Principal Nezu and Recovery girl.

Nezu observed the scene but stayed silent.

"We have to sweep the school first" said Eraserhead " Like I said, the press can't have done this."

Nezu shook his head "no villain will still be in there, I'm sure of it."

"Still" Aizawa insisted, and Recovery girl nodded in agreement

"Very well" Nezu sighed " I suppose a quick check can't be detrimental."

While Eraserhead and Present Mic left to do as told, Nezu still just stood there.

"Is this just a simple act of violence" pondered Nezu "or a declaration of war?"
