Catch Me If I Fall [BakuDeku]

Chapter 17

Chapter 17

The class of 1-A all stood next to each other inside of gym gamma. They were waiting for Aizawa's instructions to start their training for the day. It has been three days since Tsukauchi dropped the news of Izuku's father on the two boys. After that they haven't heard a thing about the investigation, which had them both on edge.

The rules for their training was simple. They were all divided into groups of 5, making 4 groups in total. Each group had a team leader—who held a colored flag—and the rest of the team members had to work together in order to protect it. If an opposing team got to the team leader and managed to steal the flag, the team that lost the flag would get automatically disqualified. The team to capture all other three flags would be the winner.

The teams were:

Team Orange: Yaoyoruzu, Aoyama, Tokoyami, Sero, and their team leader, Iida.

Team Blue: Kaminari, Shoji, Uraraka, Hagakure, and their team leader, Jiro.

Team Purple: Kirishima, Mineta, Koda, Tsuyu, and their team leader, Katsuki.

Team Red: Mina, Todoroki, Ojiro, Sato, and their team leader, Izuku.

Aizawa stood by the sidelines accompanied by All Might. Everyone got in their respective positions. Once everyone was settled, the teacher gave a once over before blowing a whistle. A few battle cries were heard throughout the building, making Aizawa roll his eyes as his students charged at each other.

Izuku held the flag firmly as he noticed Iida's team making their way to him. Being the flag holder, he could only defend himself if his team failed to do so. So, he stood there in a fighting stance, eyeing his surrounding as an ice wall got in between him and Iida's team. Todoroki fought against Sero and Tokoyami, while Mina and Ojiro went to attack Katsuki's team. Sato stayed by his side, eating candies he had in his pockets to activate his Sugar Rush.

Feeling a presence coming his way, he jumped back when Tsuyu appeared beside him, stretching her tongue towards the flag. He made sure to move it out of her reach each time she would reach out for it.

"Behind you," a voice spoke from behind him. Startled, Izuku dodged just in time to see a rock hard fist almost hit him on the side. Kirishima offered him a toothy grin before launching himself towards the greenette. Izuku managed to kick him in the stomach, sending him flying backwards while also avoiding Tsuyu's tongue.

"I've got you, Izu-babe!" Mina said right before shooting some of her acid towards Tsuyu. Out of the corner of his eye he could see Sato charging towards Kirishima, while Ojiro went to fight against Hagakure and Todoroki took a defensive stance next to him.

"You holding up alright?" The heterochromatic asked, earning a chuckle from the greenette.

"It's not so bad," Izuku shrugged. The sound of a whistle resounded throughout the building, Aizawa's voice following after.

"Jiro's team is out." The teacher announced, just in time for Ojiro to come running towards him with a blue flag. The boy had a smile on his face, handing it to Izuku before taking a defensive stance next to him as well.

Jiro's team went to the sidelines with All Might and Aizawa, all of them having pouts on their faces and apologizing to Jiro. She would brush them off, bummed about being the first team out, but not really blaming any of them. They took a seat and watched how the training continued.

Katsuki was currently blasting off the faces of Sero and Aoyama, who were desperately trying to make an opening to snatching his flag. Annoyed, Katsuki yelled at the rest of his team. "Oi, you extras! You're supposed to be protecting me!"
