The sound of something crashing the wall made an echo in the entire room. Nezu and All Might who were the only ones present, lifted their heads from the mountains of paperwork they were dealing with, to see Izuku watching his phone with one hand, while in the other, in the form of a fist, was deeply buried in the wall, with cracks around it.

Some fragments of concrete fell on the floor, next to his feet, but he paid them no attention. Both teachers took a closer look of their colleague, and found that he was trembling, not of fear, but of pure rage.

"Young Midoriya! What happened!" Toshinori asked completely worried, wondering what earned the young teacher's wrath.

The young one merely showed him the screen of his phone, where a news app was open and showed the following headline

"VILLAIN ATTACK IN DEIKA CITY!"

It only took a couple of seconds for the teachers to piece everything together, because after all, they were the only ones that Izuku confided his the true reason behind his diplomatic of.

And by the looks of the headline, it confirmed the news they were fearing the most: the League of Villains made contact with the Meta Liberation Army.

Taking a deep breath, Izuku extracted his fist from the wall and turned towards Nezu

"That fool... I warned him... I warned him of the consequences his actions will carry... And now..." Izuku spat

Both teachers nodded sombrely, they could perfectly understand Izuku's rage, now that both villain sides have made contact, it was inevitable for it to happen.

"War" Toshinori said sadly

"Yes... And if war is something he craves so much... Then I will gladly show him what is it" Izuku spat with a lot of venom, going back to the table, and started to put his notes and notebooks inside his bag

"Nezu... Now that it is inevitable, might as well teach the students that lesson" Izuku snarled

Nezu simply nodded, with a serious face

"Where are the rest of the teachers?" the young teacher asked after a brief silence

"To the Arena Gym, in Tokyo" the Principal replied

"Good, I'm off" Izuku said, closing the sports bag.

"For what Young Midoriya?" Toshinori asked curiously.

"To let off some steam" the teacher replied, leaving the room.

The Arena was one of the most renowned gyms across the world, and the finest in Japan. Built by Power Loader, it was constructed as a gym exclusively for Pro Heroes, where they could train, relax and socialize with other heroes in peace, out of the reach of the media and public.

The Gym main infrastructure was an enormous three floors building, with the first one being the gym, the second one the lodging facilities and the third one the food court. However it didn't end there, as it expanded way deep in the underground, where the containment rooms were, these rooms were specially designed for Pro heroes who wanted to test and unleash their Super Moves without restrain.

But the main attraction of that Gym was not it's gym machinery, but it's combat simulation training program.

The Arena, or the Pit, as many heroes called it, was an arena where heroes could battle against hordes of robots to hone their combat skills, it's difficulty depended on the type and grade of the robots, with the military types being the hardest and the common villain bots being the easiest.
