Trust in Him

Chapter 11

"The hero team... WINNNNNNS!!"

"Urgh... I'm so hungry." Hina looks around her from where she is on the floor. "No one's dead or fried, right?" She groans, holding her stomach.

"Urk-!" The stench of vomit makes its way to Hina's nose as Uraraka suffers from her Quirk drawback.

"Are you two alright?!" Ida asks, getting down on the floor beside Uraraka.

Hina nods weakly, her nose wrinkled. "I'm super."

"Stinkin' Space Heater!! How dare you beat me?!" Katsuki yells, grabbing the collar of Hina's dark blue short coat.

Hina groans, placing two black-gloved hands on his wrists. "Katsuki, we just finished fighting. Give me some time to recuperate before you get mad at me for winning, will you?" She leans her head on her hands, still holding Katsuki's wrists. "I'm tired and hungry." she sighs. "I need to make a function for Kimi to make food of some sort so she can help me function better when I'm out of energy."

"I'll make a note of it and remind you when we get home." Kimi nods, typing it into her arm. "Now, are you capable of walking on your own or do you want me to carry you?" She raises an eyebrow, a smirk on her face.

"I can walk..." Hina groans. "Help me up, will you Katsuki?"

"Stupid Space Heater." He grumbles, pulling her up with ease. "You're so light! Make sure you're eating properly! I don't want to fight you if you're not at your best!!"

Hina chuckles. "I think I'm just so light because I'm so small. I eat plenty, my Quirk just burns it all off."

"Affirmative." Kimi nods. "You're much shorter than everyone else in this class except for the purple guy."

"See? That's why I'm so light." Hina nods, then walks over to Uraraka. "C'mon. Are you able to stand, or do you need Kimi to carry you?"

"Hey! Don't just volunteer me for things!"

"It's alright... I can stand."

"Well, I'd say the V.I.P. in this battle was Ida!!"

"Whaa?!" Ida looks shocked, to say the least.

Hina nods. Yeah, that makes sense. Uraraka, Kimi, and I didn't really treat the bomb as if it were real, and Katsuki just wanted to win. He didn't think about acting as a villain.

"Not Ochako, Hina, or Kimi? Even though they won?" Tsuyu croaks out.

"I wonder why? Anyone know?!" All Might exclaims, raising his hand.

"I do, All Might Sensei." Momo raises her hand, looking down at the floor. "It's because Ida was most able to adapt to the scenario. From what I saw, Bakugou's every action was motivated by his own personal competitiveness and ambition. And as you mentioned before, Sensei, his use of destructive attacks indoors was foolish. Hina and Kimi worked well together, but they weren't very careful about not accidentally electrocuting or burning their own teammate. Uraraka lost focus halfway through. And her final attack was far too haphazard. Such attacks would be unthinkable if the nuclear weapon were real. But Ida formed an actual counter-strategy and he envisioned what the actual struggle would be like. He was only too late in reacting at the very end. The hero team only won because this was a training exercise with exploitable constraints."

Silence.

"Yeah, that about sums it up...." Hina rubs the back of her head with a sheepish smile, looking away.

She said it better than I could!! All Might thinks, a little shaken up.

"I-I'd also add that Ida was a bit too stiff, but... Yes... You're correct...!"
