A Heroic Heart and Tired One Too (Discontinued)

4: Battle Training

---------------------Chapter Start---------------------------------------------

It was another ordinary day at U.A. Ive got to say it gets rather monotonous here. Yawning in bored, I'm quickly proven wrong as All Might, comes bursting through the door, causing me to cough in surprise.

"I AM HERE! AS YOUR TEACHER!"

"Woah, All Might!"

"He does work here!"

"And he's in his Silver Age costume too! SO Cool!"

All Might proudly declares that he'll be our teacher for the next class. In said class, we'll be taking part in battle training. I wicked grin crosses Bakugou's face and a scared look crosses Midoriya's. Honestly, I could care less. Still pissed at her for making me go out of my way to defend her when I've got my hands full as-is. One changing room later and we're here. My hero costume is designed to allow easy absorption through my hands whilst still protecting them, as well as having a storage pack on my back. Midoriya tried coming over and standing next to me, leading me to turn away from her. All Might Explains the activity and groups us with people. I'm grouped with Yaoyorozu and we're going up against Jirou and Kaminari. Though the first battle of the day is Midoriya and Uraraka vs Iida and Bakugou.

"Uh, oh."

"Is all well, Gisheikyo?" Yaoyorozu asks somewhat concerned. Her costume is very distracting so I look away from her. She says she appreciates the trepidation but asks me again what the issue is.

"Well, it's Midoriya against Bakugou. Bakugou is already very angry at Midoriya, so likely she'll target her."

"If I can ask how do you know so much about Midoriya and Bakugou?" Yaoyorozu inquires, now gaining the rest of the class's attention.

"Yeah! Bakugou seems to be the most chill around you, so what's the deal with that?!" Mineta says. I shrugged before responding.

"I've known Midoriya since middle school and stood up for her here and there. Bakugou is my ex." I say nonchalantly. This seemed to shock a good majority of them. I dont know why though. Back to the task at hand, the battle between Midorya and Bakugou was ramping up. Bakugou began to pull the pin on her gauntlet, which elicited a reaction from All Might. He tried to stop her, but unfortunately a large explosion was triggered, rearing right for Midoriya. This doesn't look too good.

"She's out for blood . . . such brutality!" Yaoyorozu whispers in shock.

"Yeah. But something tells me Midoriya's going to use that quirk of hers soon, she'll be fine." I say, crossing my arms. But it seems like, that won't be the case. Instead, Bakugou rockets forward, and sets off a smokescreen in Midoriya's face, whilst redirecting herself to strike her in the back. Then, Bakugou grabs Midoriya by the arm and slams her onto the ground.

"Hey, Hey All Might shouldn't, you stop this?! Bakugou is going too far!" Kirishima asks. I grip my arm harder, seeing all this. She's got a stupid strong quirk that she's kept hidden, what's stopping her from using it? Midoriya ran back before her and Bakugou rush began to towards each other.

"Young Midoriya and Young Bakugou sto-"

Midoriya yelled something to Uraraka, to which Uraraka grabs onto a pillar. Midoriya and Bakugou collide but at the last second, instead of striking Bakugou with her quirk swings upwards. The sheer destructive force blasts through several floors, creating debris that Uraraka could use to swing at Iida. Distracted, Iida could no longer keep the focus on Uraraka, meaning she secured a win for the Hero team. The Smoke clears, revealing Midoriya. My eyes widen as I see her now twisted and disfigured arm. Which must have been caused by the blowback of her quirk. . .

"Hero Team . . . WINS!!!" All Might loudly proclaim. Some murmurs go on between the class on how the hero team is on the ground whereas the Villains look unscathed (Except Bakugou's damaged pride). All Might asks who will bring Midoriya the rest of the material covered in other classes today, to which I raise my hand. All Might nods. Next up is my battle anyways. Yaoyorozu and I take our place as the villains and she began creating metal plates to barricade the door.

"If my prediction is right, they'll have Kaminari try and shock us. Can you absorb electricity?" Yaoyorozu asks. I rub the back of my head, and I try to explain that I can't do that yet. Yaoyorozu thinks this over before turning around to create something for me. Rubber extensions to my gloves, handing them to me.

"Just try to today alright?"

"Young Yaoyorozu and Young Gisheikyo, the heroes have entered the building!" All Might's voice blares through our transceivers. Yaoyorozu places a hand on my shoulder and nods. I nod back and dont hesitate, planting my hands on the floor. Just as I thought, electricity comes surging through, and up my arms. It stings and sears my arms, but I'm doing my best to stay awake, still activating my quirk as it goes through me. Eventually, bit by bit, Im able to start drawing the electricity in. Until finally I absorb all of it. I open the palm of my hand as sparks fly off of it.

"Gisheikyo?" Yaoyorou starts. I hold up a hand, telling her to stay away, considering some electricity still isn't properly absorbed by me. I give a thumbs-up before I punch back into the ground, sending the electricity back through the ground, towards the heroes. After it's all discharge I cough, with some smoke coming out when i did.

"And with that, the Villains win!" All Might yells. Can he talk a little quieter?"

-Timeskip brought by Gisheikyo accidentally shocking Mineta-

The rest of the day passed, and I headed out of the nurse's office. Recovery Girl said that Midoriya had just left to go talk to Bakugou. I sighed, knowing that probably wouldn't be a good idea, but knowing Midoriya, she's probably going to check if "Kacchan" is okay. I spot her, with her arm in a sling. I snuck up behind her and tapped her on the shoulder. She shrieked and jumped back in shock.

"Yo."

"G-G-Gisheikyo! I wasn't expecting you to c-c-come looking for me. I thought you were still mad at me. . ." She says trailing off. I shrug, before handing her several papers worth of notes from all the classes of the day and I told her I saved some food from lunch just for her.

"Y-You're not mad?"

"Don't get me wrong, I'm still very annoyed at you. Considering you lied to me for the better part of the time we've known each other." i said. Midoriya looks down at the floor.

"But! I can understand why you did it. Sort of. A power that hurts you that badly would just earn you further scorn. So don't take it too personally okay?" I said, placing a hand on her head. I heard a couple of sniffles from Midoriya before she looks up at me with tears streaming down her face.

"M-Midoriya?"

"Thank you. F-For standing up f-for me and b-being there." She manages to get out. I tell her that it's nothing. Seeing how she's still crying, I open up my arms and motioned towards her. She walks towards me and I pull her in for a hug. Midoriya holds onto me, still crying. I patted her on the head and comforted her as best as I could.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
