The Unforeseen Simulation Joint, also known as the USJ, famously houses six natural disaster zones. With the work of U.A. 's support course, hero students are able to go through this training without stepping off campus. Tiles map the floor, towering pillars elevate the grand entrance that leads down a staircase toward the central plaza and divide off into a variety of sectors. Located to the Southwest, an urban atmosphere is clouded by smoke. Flames reach great heights, leaving little space to maneuver. A path of unconscious bodies curate along the desolate street. 

A young hero pins his enemy to the hot cement. Two figures race, assuming their classmate is need of aid before halting mere steps away. Panting, sweating, Todoroki glares down at his foe. 

"So the plan was the scatter us and then kill us. You were woefully unprepared. In fact, it looks to me that you've had no training." The inability to freeze this villain to the ground only fuels his frustration, "Listen up, I'd like to avoid any unnecessary cruelty and treat you more than just disposable for an unworthy cause, but I can only do that if you tell me how you plan to kill All Might." he interrogates. 

A student with several arms protruding from his shoulders blinks, shocked to witness such force. Glancing to the winged hero beside him, "Do you think Todoroki is a bit much?"

Keiji shrugs in response.

"I guess it's effective."

"You call us monsters, but look what you're doing AH- okay, okay! All I know is the boss has a new puppet that will give All Might a rough time." Tough skin battered from battle, limbs dislocated, and eyes stinging from smoke, the enemy wails when his wrists are bound tighter, "AND, and since he's not here the plan changed to have you be our targets. The longer he takes to show up, the more time we have to kill you."

Crawling beneath the rough crust, bodies emerge in the landslide zone. A constant flow of dirt and debris fill the space. Keeping a visual on any sign of an attack is proven extremely difficult. In an attempt to grab a student's ankle and pull her into the depths, the enemy is met with a steel rod to the nose.

"These guys are insane!" a blonde squeals, keeping light on his feet while villains attack from below.

Momo sighs, "Kaminari, we need to focus on getting away."

"Then pull out a weapon for me too!"

"Can't you just shock them?" Another student knocks his tail against the top of an opponent's head, rendering their vision to blur. 

A pair of blue shades fall from his nose bridge, sweeping away with the debris. The student scoffs, "I can cover my body with electricity, but if I try to shoot it out it'll go everywhere. I'd end up taking you guys down along with them or did you want shock treatment today?"

Shaking under the pressure of several blasts, this deteriorating building is no place for the feeble. A small room occupies to rambunctious heroes, falling apart with every movement. An opponent falls to the floor, their back forcefully pressed onto shards of glass and peeling tile. The blow to the head and jab to the neck sent the air out of their lungs, constraining their mobility. 

"I think that's the last of them." Bakugo stands, stepping forward unharmed. 

Kirishima follows, "All right! Let's hurry and find the rest of our class."

"If you wanna track everyone down, have fun." he reaches the doorway, leading his classmate through a dim hallway, "I'm going after that warp fucker."

"But our attacks didn't do anything last time. C'mon don't be an idiot, man."

Stopping just before a flight of stairs, "Shut up." Bakugo takes the throat of a camouflaged creature, pushing their body into the wall and exerting a moderate explosion from his palm, "Anyway. If all the villains are weak like these guys, then our classmates can handle it." he allows the exposed adversary to fall to the floor from his grasp then continues forward.
