The next day's training proved to be even more grueling. "This is even worse," you growled, determined to push yourself harder. "Don't hold back, Y/n! Running is very effective on your left!" Iida zoomed past you, making it sound effortless. "Stop saying that every time you pass me!" you shouted, increasing your pace to keep up. All you wanted was to rest; the thought of sleep lingered in your fatigued mind. "On your left!" Iida called out again. "Stop saying that!" Your frustration echoed through the training ground, a relentless pursuit pushing you to your limits.

After training and a hearty dinner, the Wild Wild Pussycats announced an evening activity for both classes. Unfortunately, Kirishima, Sato, and Sero couldn't participate, but you were pleased to see Ashido and Kaminari joining in.

"Class 1-B will be the first to be the 'scares,' and the winners will be the class that scares the best!" Tiger announced, handing out papers. "Revelry in the dark," Tokoyami added. Why does he keep saying that? You and Uraraka shared a puzzled look. Glancing at your paper, you smiled. "Hey, Zuku-kun, we're partners. What are the odds, eh?" you jokingly said. Izuku turned into a full tomato as he stuttered, "Y-yeah, the odds." Suddenly, a hand grabbed his shoulder roughly.

"Oi, Deku, trade with me!" Bakugo pointed at Todoroki and then at you. "Sorry, Kacchan, can't trade," you grinned, holding onto Izuku, which made people who were watching glare.

"Alright then, start, everyone!" Tiger announced. "Try not to scream, Zuku-kun." The challenge began, and the night was filled with both laughter and screams as the two classes engaged in a scarefest.

In the aftermath of the training and a replenishing dinner, the Wild Wild Pussycats proposed an engaging evening activity for both classes. Regrettably, Kirishima, Sato, and Sero couldn't partake, but the presence of Ashido and Kaminari brought a sense of camaraderie.

"Class 1-B will be the first to be 'scared,' and the winners will be the class that scares the best!" Tiger declared, distributing papers with the theme "Revelry in the Dark." Tokoyami's recurrent use of the phrase prompted a shared, contemplative glance between you and Uraraka. Examining your paper, a subtle smile surfaced.

"Hey, Zuku-kun, we're partners. What are the odds, eh?" you jestingly remarked. Izuku blushed and stammered, "Y-yeah, the odds." Abruptly, Bakugo intervened, demanding a swap with Todoroki. Your refusal ignited glares from onlookers.

As the challenge commenced, distant screams echoed through the forest, setting an eerie ambiance. "Geez, Class 1-B can be so unnerving," you noted, a keen observer of the surroundings. Pixie Bob, utilizing her heightened olfactory senses, detected an unfamiliar scent in the air. Confirming her observation, you, too, registered the ominous aroma.

Suddenly, Pixie Bob was violently thrown into the bushes, and a foreboding figure emerged. Mandalay, Tiger, and Ragdoll braced for a confrontation. The air thickened with tension as menacing individuals claimed affiliation with the League of Villains, prompting memories of Stain and the Wild Wild Pussycats' assault.

"Mandalay! We know where Kota is. Leave it to us!" you urgently conveyed, seizing the initiative to locate the missing classmate. Steering through corners, you and Izuku discovered Kota with a looming, imposing figure. His heartbreaking whimper for his "Papa" and "Mama" instigated rapid action.

Protectively, you rushed towards Kota and engaged the menacing figure. In a swift, biting motion, reminiscent of a predatory instinct, you attempted to subdue the foe. However, the encounter escalated, culminating in Izuku's valiant attempt at a Detroit Smash.

The subsequent altercation unfolded with a visceral intensity, capturing the essence of a primal struggle. The villain, seemingly impervious, taunted the duo. In a climactic moment, Izuku unleashed a 100% Detroit Smash, mirroring the fervor of a desperate apex predator.

As the confrontation reached a zenith, Kota's anguished plea, "Mama!" pierced through the chaos. A critical decision ensued as you, undeterred by injuries, opted to confront the adversary, drawing on your unique abilities. The ensuing clash unfolded with a blend of primal aggression and strategic prowess, reminiscent of a territorial dispute.

In an unexpected turn, water disrupted the confrontation, prompting a momentary respite. Despite the perilous situation, the resolve to protect persisted. Izuku's unwavering determination led to a decisive, if not bruising, victory against the villain.

Amidst the aftermath, you tended to Izuku's injuries with a nuanced understanding of reptilian healing mechanisms. The expertise in your actions underscored a profound connection to the primal world. As Kota's quirk extinguished the remnants of a fire, the primal echoes of the encounter subsided.

The subsequent retreat into the woods, marked by a commanding dinosaurian roar, encapsulated the resilient, untamed spirit of prehistoric survival. The melding of primal instincts and calculated strategy evoked the essence of a seasoned dinosaur expert navigating the untamed wilderness.

In the dimly lit chaos, the urgency in the air hung heavy as you, Izuku, and Shoji found yourselves in the midst of a perilous situation. Kota was left under the watchful eye of Aizawa, and Mandalay had just delivered a critical piece of information about the imminent danger targeting Bakugo and you.

With determination etched across your face, you and Izuku sprinted towards Mandalay, making a split-second decision to leave Kota in the capable hands of Aizawa. The urgency of the situation prompted quick thinking, and Izuku wasted no time in using his quirk to fend off the imminent threat. As he swiftly kicked away the Spinner villain, your attention turned to Mandalay, who was facing imminent danger.

"Mandalay! Aizawa-sensei granted us permission to use our quirks! And I know who they're after—it's Bakugo and Y/N," Izuku urgently explained. The gravity of the situation intensified as Mandalay nodded, acknowledging the authority Aizawa had bestowed upon both of you. With a sense of purpose, she utilized her quirk to convey the crucial information to the rest of the classes.

As you and Izuku prepared to move, the tension in the air escalated. Izuku's words resonated, advising you to stay close for protection. But before you could respond, a shadowy figure lunged at you. Swift and unexpected, Shoji appeared, his numerous arms swooping in to shield you both from the imminent threat.

"Shoji, you're hurt," you exclaimed, surprise evident in your voice. The aftermath of the battle was taking its toll on your classmates, injuries and exhaustion setting in.

"Yeah, and you are too. We got ambushed by villains. I took a hit and was protected by Tokoyami, but Dark Shadow took over," Shoji explained, his words revealing the severity of the situation. As the truth sunk in, your mind raced back to the sports festival, recalling Tokoyami's warning about the challenges of controlling Dark Shadow in the dark.

Izuku voiced the harsh reality you were facing. "If we want to go through, we have to face Dark Shadow." The weight of the statement settled heavily on your shoulders, knowing the perilous path that lay ahead.

Dark Shadow's roar echoed through the chaos, Tokoyami struggling with the internal battle. "Stay away from me!" he demanded, tears streaming down his face. Your heart sank at the sight of your friend in distress, torn between the shadows.

But amidst the fear, a resolute determination took hold. "Don't worry, Tokoyami. We're going to save you," you declared, knowing that your friend needed your help. The imminent confrontation with Dark Shadow loomed ahead, but with unwavering resolve, you were prepared to face the darkness to bring your friend back into the light.
