Security Plan
The last Grimm to come out of the forest... wasn't quite what they were expecting.

It was...very canine-like. Much like a Beowulf, but also very different. It was a bit bigger than a Beowulf, as well as being more dog-like than wolf-like.

Its body was also much less armored, in fact, the only armor on it was around its snout. With some bone-like spikes coming out of its spine and shoulders.

But the most notable difference was that its body seemed...less solid. Like Yami's Grimm vomit had only half solidified while making it. It wasn't a liquid per-say, it looked more like melting ice cream than anything.

"That thing is...super creepy," Toru said.

"It looks like something you'd see in a horror movie!" Mina said, giving the creature a good hard look. "I kinda like it."

"You have such weird taste," Kaminari told her.

"This is likely Yami's most versatile, and impressive Grimm yet," Fu explained. "You see, up until now, we were never able to make an intelligent Grimm because their brains just aren't capable of that. But, Amai had the idea, of sticking a human brain into Yami's Grimm vomit, and seeing what happens. What happened, was this."

"Wait where did you get a human brain?" Ochaco asked.

"Yeah, please don't skim over that part," Tsu added.

"Oh, we just opened Fu's skull and took out his brain," Shiruku explained. "It took us a few tries to do it right, but we eventually got it right."

"That's fascinating," Izuku said. "Ignoring the part where you cut open your brother's head and took out his brain-"

"God this place is weird," Kaminari commented.

"-It's essentially like replacing parts in a computer so it runs better," Izuku explained. "Using Fu's brain as a processor, you can make a Grimm much smarter than it otherwise would be."

"That's actually rather interesting, and also disturbing," Momo added.

"This Grimm can use its intelligence, and its special body, to adapt to almost any situation!" Shiruku explained.

"Although it is blind, it has an enhanced sense of smell and hearing, so it can track people down extremely well," Fu explained. "I think the best way to show off its abilities, would be to have someone fight it. Anyone want to try?"

Kirishima raised his hand. "I'll do it!"

"Alright, please come over here, and prepare yourself for battle!" Kiba told him.

Kirishima got up out of his chair, and the children stepped back to give the two fighters some room.

The Hound and Kirishima faced off against each other, as Kirishima got into a fighting stance.

"Defeat him. Don't kill, don't hurt him permanently." Yami ordered.

The Hound gave a growl of affirmation, before lunging at Kirishima.

Kirishima raised a hardened arm, and the Hound bit down on it.

The fake redhead gritted his teeth, as he felt the pressure of the Grimm's jaw come down on his arm. It was strong, but not THAT strong.

Kirishima punched the Grimm in its unprotected chest, and felt his fist sink into its body, like punching goop. "Huh?"

The student retracted his fist and looked down at the indent he left in the Grimm, as it quickly regenerated.

The Hound then jumped back, before lunging back at Kirishima with its claws, slashing his chest.

Kirishima hardened his chest, and the slashes bounced off.
