We all arrive into class and sit down at our desks. A few minutes later, Denki bursts through the classroom door, mouth full of food and hands full of snacks. Mina's eyes immediately light up and she scurries over to steal a handful of snacks.

"Aeyyy!" Denki tries to protest but his mouth is still too full of food for him to speak.

Mina just gives Denki a sarcastic salute and tosses some of the snacks to Sero who gives her an approving thank you.

"If anyone else is hungry," Mina announces, "Snacks are on Denki."

"Mo! Mo vhere mot!" Denki curls his arms around the horde of snacks on his desk and eats as many as he can.

You laugh and watch the chaos play out as a few other kids try to steal some snacks, only to be mildly shocked by Denki's electric quirk.

Aizawa enters just as Denki shoves the last of the food in his mouth and shoves the discarded wrappers into his backpack.

"Today, we will be reviewing your training exercise ratings and analyze how you did."

One long winded analysis and a cramped hand from note taking later, Aizawa goes on to the training activity you will be doing in gym next period. "We will be conducting mock battles. You will be one on one and battle against multiple opponents to get a feel for how you can use your abilities against different types of quirks. So, everyone take out your training uniforms and meet me in the gym after you change in the locker rooms."

"All right, we get to wear our hero costumes!" students cheer.

You walk with the rest of class 1A, accompanied by Mr. Aizawa, to the gym and the boys and girls funnel off into their own locker rooms. Everyone hurries to change, excited about today's mock battles.

"Okay," Aizawa says as soon as everyone is gathered in the gym. "Now, you will be fighting one on one mock battles. Except, unlike all the other times, this time, you will choose your own partner."

Students immediately begin pairing off and fighting over who they want to fight against.

You make eye contact with Uraraka across the fray and raise an eyebrow in question. She smiles and nods back. Yes! Looks like she's going to be your partner.

Midoriya walks up to you and smiles, "Hey, Y/N, I was wondering if you wanted to be my partner? I thought it might be interesting to see how our quirks work against each other since they're kind of opposing."

You're about to open your mouth and decline, saying Uraraka is already your partner, when Mina and Kirishima approach you also, both asking to work with you. Iida, Denki, and a few others join the fray, all wanting to go up against you since none of them have gotten the chance to fight you yet.

"Outta the way losers!" Bakugo shoves his way through the small crowd that has congealed around you. "Move it, ya damn extras!"

Your eyes widen when he grabs your hand and plows his way back through the group surrounding you and turns back to growl at you, "Time for a rematch."

"W-wait," your shoes squeak on the gym floor and you stagger a little when Bakugo suddenly stops. "I'm already partners with Uraraka."

Bakugo looks back over at the student crowd, "Pink cheeks? Looks like she's already with that damn nerd."

You look where Bakugo is facing and see Uraraka smiling and talking animatedly to Deku.

"But why do you want to fight me again? You already know you can't break through my barrier."

He scoffs, "New rules this time. You're not allow to trap yourself in a barrier this time."

"Fine. But, only if you agree to my condition. No using your gauntlets or causing the super big explosions like last time. I don't want to die during a practice fight."

Bakugo nods, "Fine. If you think you're too weak to handle my full power."

"Hey, I wouldn't need your handicap if I was using my full barrier."

"Whatever," Bakugo grumbles, "Let's just fight."
"Yeah, okay. But-"

Bakugo cuts you off getting worked up, "But, what?! You can't back out of the fight! I'm going beat you this time and-"

This time, you cut him off, "That's nice and all, but as I was trying to say before you interrupted..."
Bakugo scowls at you and you look down pointedly at your hand, "It will be kind of hard for me to fight you with only one hand."

"What do you mean one hand? We never-" Bakugo follows your line of sight and you glance back up again to see pink tinge his upper cheeks before blooming into a full bright red.

"Tch, whatever. You wouldn't be able to beat me even if I was using one hand." He quickly drops your hand and turns around to stalk several paces away.

"So, how do we decide when to start fighting- AH!"
Bakugo sends an explosion shooting your way before you can ask your question. "Okay," you call out flustered, "I guess that answers when the fight is starting."
