Villainous Quirk, Heroic soul

Not as They Seem

A/N UGH why does life have to be so chaotic? It seems the universe it determined to mess with me, so my posting is likely to slow down for a little while. I'll likely be posting the chapter of the new story that are already written in the meantime. Which if you're interesting, I'll give the rundown at the end of the chapter to see if it's something you'd enjoy. But considering we are close to the USJ, something I've been looking forward to writing for a very long time, I'm hoping it won't take too long to get everything (including my head) straightened out. Aside from that, I want to thank Silenthorse, Gamer_kid1609, and Zurgboy2 for all their help. Hope you enjoy the chapter!

"Seriously, how does she adjust those? I can't even tell what they're set to." Ashido called out to Izuku and Kinoko as she looked over Mei's equipment. All Might was currently grabbing the boxes from earlier to decide the next match. She had to admit it was nice seeing that All Might acted the same in person as she does on Tv, if not goofier.

"Without revealing too much since they're her babies, she has something that allows her to make the adjustments and it also tells her what they're set to." Informed Izuku.

"While we know she wouldn't mind us explaining everything, we're not going to rob her of the opportunity to gush about her babies." Added Kinoko. While the two referring to the equipment as babies has become normal for them, it was still throwing off a few of their classmates.

"I have returned!" Declared All Might as she came back into the room carrying the tables and boxes with a single hand.

"You sure you remembered everything this time?" Joke Izuku, getting a chuckle from everyone including All Might.

"I'm 98% confident." All Might joked back, earning some laughs herself. "Now let's see who our next teams will be!" She declared with her hands already in the lot boxes despite no one even seeing her set it up. Lifting her hands she showed team A as the heroes, with team F as the villains.

Without a word or any fanfare, Todoroki simply started walking out of the room the moment she saw her letter.

"Young Todoroki, you need your earpiece." Called out All Might.

"Won't be necessary." Said Todoroki monotone as she walked out the door.

"I'll give her the earpiece." Sighed Jirou, already dreading what was to come. As soon as she had them, she joined Nejire who was waiting for them.

"Looks like we're on defense." Said Kendo confidently as she gently elbowed Yaoyorozu, getting a determined smile and nod back. They quickly got their own earpieces and made their way out.

"Should we be concerned about Todoroki?" Asked Hagakure.

"I'm honestly not sure, but leave it up to the staff and I." Instructed All Might, masking her own concern perfectly. With a hesitant nod from Hagakure, it was time to start things off. After giving the first match participants the same rundown she gave the others earlier, she asked for their assessments.

"I believe Yaoyorozu will be the deciding factor." Answered Intelli, her usual smugness diminished. "She easily has the most versatile quirk out of all of us, but I believe she is unintentionally holding herself back."

"Oh, and what makes you think that?" Asked All Might genuinely curious on where she was going with this.

"During the assessment test, she only made stuff using the standard materials, and only made in standard ways. But if she's creating things atom by atom by simply converting lipids, then she's not bogged down by things like price, limited resources, or crafting difficulties. Plus she might even be able to create materials that we cannot make due to limited technology. Meaning her possibilities are endless." Answered Intelli.
