A few days have passed sense the final exams. Luckily, I passed. Everyone will be going to the training camp, so it will be fun. Summer vacation has officially begun. U.A. High holds special classes for those wanting to train during summer vacation. I thought I would attend because they could help be adjust to my "new" quirk.
"We've been running this course multiple times with small groups from your class. Normally, we would have four to six students working together, but we're doing something different for you. You'll be taking on this lesson alone. Just so you know, this will be harder than a regular class. We're having you do this alone so you can adjust to you quirk." Mr. Aizawa spoke.
"So that's why we're alone." said Bo.
"Correct. In this master class, you'll be tasked with saving innocent bystanders and capturing a villain. This should be obvious, but villains commit many different types of crime. You'll be dispatched to a scene and will need to determine what happened there. Whether or not a villain was actually at fault. Whether or not you should fight. We will be judging your ability to assess the situation as well as how will you diffuse it. Welcome you're instructors."
"I am here, sneaking in though the back door!" shouted All Might. He was standing at the back to the class while striking a pose. Delaney was sitting where Todoroki sits, Claude was sitting where Momo sits, and Bo was sitting were Uraraka sits. Normally, the three of them are sitting behind me in class, we took advantage of the empty seats.
"Hi" Delaney said with no emotion. "If you were trying to scare us, it didn't work." Claude and Bo agreed. I stayed quiet to not let them know I almost had a heart attack because of All Might.
"He's not the only one today. Cementoss, Midnight and Present Mic will be assisting. They'll be acting as special trainer. Let's get started. Head to Ground Beta and we'll begin."
We all changed into our hero costumes. Claude, Delany, and Bo were made hero costumes the matched mine. The only difference was the weapon we each used. I continued to use knifes while Delaney used chains. The chains are stored in her sleave and can release them whenever she wants. At the end of each chain is a blade. They can be used to pull herself or other things to her. Claude is using the standard gun. It's nothing fancy, it's just a simple gun. He said he didn't want anything too crazy. Bo was using hidden daggers. Just by looking at her, you won't see any weapon. The daggers are covered by her sleaves and can pop out when she wants. She wanted to focus on the element of surprise. When we arrived at Ground Beta, it was strange to see each other in hero costumes.
"Normally we see your hero costume from the first-person perspective; it's strange seeing it from this angle." Said Claude.
"But what about last year? We always saw this outfit because they were our P.E. clothes." Bo said.
"That's true, but it was never my face. You only saw the others." I added.
"But what about that one picture in the yearbook? It consisted of everyone from E class wearing their gym uniform." Pondered Claude.
"What picture?"
"I don't know what page it was, but everyone in E class was in a picture with their gym uniform."
"I'll have to look for that when I get home."
"Focus." Mr. Aizawa spoke. "Let me brief you on the situation. There's been an attack in this jewelry story. The employees and customers have been taken hostage and are barricaded inside. The number of villains and bystanders is unknown. As pro heroes, you've been asked by police to intervene and resolve this incident to the best of your ability."
"Will that be all?" asked Claude.
"That's it. I won't be answering questions either. Good luck."
"Ok, I think we should to recon. We need to know what we're dealing with." I spoke.
"Nah, let's charge in." Delaney said.
"That's a stupid idea."
"We're on a tine crunch. We need to do this quickly. What if something happens to the hostages?" Delaney making some valid points.
"Why don't we call them?" Bo was pointing to the building which had a phone number on it.
"Let's start with that. Delaney and I can sneak into the building while the villain is distracted. Claude, you should be lookout. Keep an eye on the villain." I was trying to think about everyone's specialties. Delaney wants to fight and is good at it. Claude is more tactical so he would be a good lookout. Bo has the least intimidating voice so that could throw the villain of their guard. Bo began calling the villain.
"All Might's the villain!?" I signaled to Delaney to move closer. We each had an earpiece so we could communicate over long distances. It was originally only meant for the hero costume but decided to carry them at all times just in case. We stayed out of the line of sight of anyone in the building, but we couldn't see inside the building. Claude began talking though the earpiece.
"Bo is calling All Might again." That means she is trying to reason with the villain. Delaney and I were in the building, we were sneaking in though the back. Suddenly, there was a loud explosion. We rushed to the main area. Bo and Claude were already there, along with the dead villain.
No one knows what happened. The villain must have had an explosive on him. The question is, how did he die to a knife wound. The murder weapon was laying on the ground next to him.
"So... he's dead." I broke the silence.
"There are three options." Delaney spoke. " Suicide, one of the hostages killed him, or one of you two killed him." Delaney was pointing at Claude and Bo.
"It wasn't us. It was probably one of the hostages." Bo defending herself. "And are we sure the villain is actually dead?" Claude walked over to check All Might's pulse.
"He has a pulse; he's most likely staying in character to seem like he's dead."
"Who would want to act like a dead body? That's boring."
"All Might will most likely stay in character so-" I began.
"We need to first conform that he's dead." Delaney had an idea. "Let's go kill All Might!" Delaney began pulling on All Might. Claude and I joined too. We dragged him up the stairs because he was too heavy to carry. Bo was staying with the hostages.
We dragged him all the way to the roof. There was no fencing so anyone could fall off; or get pushed off.
"Great. Now if All Might is really alive, he won't let us push him off." Delaney had an eager smile.
"And if he is dead?" I was questioning her method to finding this out.
"He'll probably land and tell us he was dead"
"And if we kill All Might?!"
"U.A. can just hire another teacher." No ones just going to replace All Might. Especially if he was killed by a student. Delaney began rolling All Might of the ledge. The last second before he fell, he "woke up."
"I'm alive! Don't kill me!" All Might sounding panicked. he was probably trying to stay in character. "Some hero you are."
"Great. What happened?" Claude asked All Might. Delaney was upset that she didn't push him off. All Might was completely silent as we walked down the stairs.
Bo had untied the hostages and began asking them questions. She told us their answers, but we didn't know who it was either. I had a hunch on who did it, but I couldn't know yet.
"One thing to think about is how the villain never left." Said Claude. "He had what he wanted, so why didn't he leave?"
"By the time I had finished filling the bag, the police were already here. He had no time to escape." Cementoss said, pretending to be the shop owner. Someone must have called ahead of time. There all here for a different reason. Cementoss works here, Present Mic wanted to buy a gift and Midnight wanted movie props.
"Midnight, you were the last one in the store. Why did you enter, even though you saw the villain?" She was shaken by my question.
"He was just too fast. I before I knew it, I was tied up too." Midnight was shaking. She was obviously nervous. Was it because she was being interrogated or because she's hiding something?
"Oh come on! That's a lie!" Delaney blurted.
"And how do you know?" I questioned.
"It obvious!"
"Says the person with bloodlust!"
"Just pay attention!" I didn't argue back. I stared at Midnight. I was in deep focus. There was something different about her. I could almost sense something. It was some sort of high frequency.
"I see. You were the one who called the police." When I said that, the high frequency became more intense. I gave her a hug to try and calm her down. "You did the right thing, even if it wasn't easy." Midnight began crying.
"Okay, that's enough" Mr. Aizawa walked through the front door.
"Ooh, this was so fun!" Midnight quickly stopped crying. I let go and remembered that this was an exercise, not the real thing.
"Thanks, you four are all done here. Save your energy for the next group."
"Hahaha! That was certainly a first!" said All Might as he left.
"Claude, you managed to figure out the story correct?"
"I believe so. Midnight and the villain knew each other before the attack. I don't know how, but she rushed into the store in an attempt to do good." Responded Claude. I hadn't even thought that far.
"Almost, out of all the groups so far, Midoriya was the only person to figure it out. Midnight was in love with the villain and rushed into the store in an attempt for him to change his ways. Delaney, you found that the villain wasn't dead, but there were other methods to do so. Of course, you were also limited because All Might was alive and can't fake being dead."
"Don't praise her." I spoke. Delaney ignored me.
"You three are getting better at communicating. For this assignment, you earned eight points. You weren't perfect, there are still some things you need to work on. That's it for your special class. Class dismissed." Mr. Aizawa walked away.
After school, I was playing video games. Delaney was playing with me. She was better at the game than I was, but it was also her favorite game. Bo was watching anime on my phone. I don't plan on letting the three of them get a phone because we're always together. Claude wasn't in the room with us.
"Guys!" Claude rushed into the room. He was smiling. "Look what we got!" he held up tickets that read "I-Expo."
"What's an 'I-Expo'" asked Bo.
"It's when scientist show off their inventions! It's held at I-Island!" Claude was ecstatic.
"Cool, when do we go?"
"The plane leave in an hour!" Bo quickly got up to go pack a bag. Delaney and I left at a much slower pace. She wasn't as interested as Claude or Bo was. I was thinking about my experience being there. After our things were packed, we left for the airport. Before we know it, we'll be on I-Island. The home of all great inventors and the life Salazo Maekawa has.
