Hello my lovely and entertaining readers!

Recently I've started to notice that my chapters are now taking about a month to finish, when they would usually take a week. So I'm going to hold a survey! I can either shorten my chapters to about 800 words, but they will be out at least once every one or two weeks at most. OR I can continue my 2500 word chapters and we only get about one or two chapters a month

Comment or react to this sentence if you would like me to shorten my chapters to 500-1000 words yet shorter wait time.

Comment or react to this sentence if you're willing to waiting a month and just want a good 2500 word chapter!

Alrighty! Enjoy chapter 24!

Uraraka walked through Ground Beta, checking her surroundings every time she turned a corner. She's been wandering for about half an hour and surprisingly hasn't run into anyone yet. Neither opponent nor classmate.

She wanted to call out to allies but didn't want to risk bringing attention to herself just in case she alerts someone from 2B.

"You will be dropped around this area." Ryoku told her. "Just find your teammates and eliminate at least 11 of class 2B, leading to victory by majority. If your opponent gives in, accept their surrender and lead them to the captured area. Your advantages are your numbers. Try to find people to work well with."

Who I work well with... She placed her head in her forefingers. Who do I work well with?

She hit her fist against her palm. "Of course! Cellophane and I work great together. If I can find him then we should make a great team!"

"Is that so?" She heard a voice echo from behind her. She turned around and saw no one.

She frowned. "Who's there?" Sounds like a female.

"So you were the one that helped take down that robot that Yaoyorozu made?" The female voice approached her and got louder. "You must be quite strong."

Wait, I know that voice.

"It seems I have a disadvantage. But that's alright because I can easily outsmart you!!"

Uraraka heard the sound of wind breaking and looked up. "Battle Fist!"

She rushed to avoid her great punch and leaped out of the way. Kendo smashed the ground floor, which broke into small pieces.

Debris flew everywhere, Uraraka had to shield her eyes.

Kendo rose and stood her ground, grinning.

Kendo... Uraraka grit her teeth. I should have the advantage. If she destroys our terrain I could use the pieces against her.

"I'm not naive enough to give you material to work with." She cracks her knuckles. "Which is why..." She jumped to a pipe and used her quirk to grab ahold of it and leap on top of it.

Uraraka raised an eyebrow. What is she-!? She felt something cocooning her feet. She looked down and saw that the concrete below her had turn to mush, and her feet were sinking into the earth. She tried to move her feet, but she couldn't pull them out.

"Where did this come from!?" Uraraka gasped and looked around. Where is he?

"Nice job distracting, Battle Fist." She heard clapping.

She heard footsteps behind her, yet she couldn't turn her body to see who it was. But the quirk he used made his identity obvious.

"Didn't expect us to make a good team, Mudman!" She placed her hands on her hips. "Though I did insist that I could take her on alone!"
