The Number One "Sidekick" • {My Hero Academia}

“Alright, let's begin The Indoor Combat training.  Team A and Team D your time starts now!”  All Might yells into the mic.

And just like that my anxiety levels rose.

I stared at the screen with baited breath.  “Pay attention kids.  Think about what you would do.”  I knew this was a horrible idea, but it wasn’t like I would necessarily stop it either.  I knew that Izuku would end wanting to prove himself to Katsuki and himself but I also knew that Izuku was most definitely going to get hurt.

There were cameras everywhere with basically no blind spots so we could see everything.  Izuku and Uraraka climbed in through a window and Izuku led the way as they carefully traversed through the halls of the building.  I could feel my nerves grow as time went on as I knew that it was only a matter of time before Katsuki found them.

I think Izuku and I both knew that Katsuki would end up going after him first.  I was proved right as I watched Katsuki fly around a corner and attack.  My fist clenched as I couldn’t hear any audio from the screens, but I could see that half of Izuku’s mask was now gone.  Dammit Katsuki!  Chill the fuck out!

The rest of the students started talking behind me.  “He almost got the jump on him.”  I was tempted to turn around to see who was talking but I wouldn’t… no, I couldn’t peel my eyes away from the screens.  I took deep breaths through my nose quietly since I didn’t want any of the others next to me to hear me.

“Sneak attack Bakugo?  What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?”  I didn’t know everyone in the class well enough yet to know who was talking without turning to look.

All Might answered the kid, “It’s a viable strategy.  He’s playing the part.  Acting like a true villain would.”

“It didn’t work.  Midoriya dodged him.”

“Look!  There he goes!”

Katsuki started to charge Izuku and started with his usual right hook first.  And then Izuku freaking caught it.  YES!!!  Come on!  I knew you could do it!  Quirk or no quirk.  You’ve been studying his moves our entire childhood.  As I was having a small victory cheer in my head, the look on Katsuki’s face made me smirk with pride.  Izuku then proceeded to throw Katsuki over his shoulder and to the floor.

I could feel the mood in the room shift.  Izuku was saying something to Katsuki but of course I couldn’t hear a thing because there was no audio.  They both got into fighting stances and I could tell that Izuku was scared to fight Katsuki, but I knew that he was going to do great anyway.  The look on Katsuki’s face turned more angry and murderous the more time went on.

I briefly looked at the screen that held Iida standing next to the weapon.  He had his hand up by his ear which meant he was talking to Katsuki.  He was probably asking him what was happening as Katsuki had left right away in the beginning.

“Hey who's Bakugo talking to?  I’m not hearing anything.  Can we get any sound with this video?”  Sadly no.

The only person who could hear anything at all was All Might, “He’s got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner.  I gave it to him before the match started along with a map of the building.  Also this,” he held up a roll of tape, “a roll of capture tape.  Wrapping this around your opponent means you’ve apprehended them and they’re out for the rest of the game.”

It had only been two minutes so far and now the other students have started to ask questions.  I probably could’ve turned around with All Might to help explain everything, but I’m not the teacher and I have more important things to worry about.  Like the two boys that are about to duke it out until one of them is unconscious.
