Sentinel (BNHA x OC)

11: Sentinel vs. the Deku Squad

As the school day came to a close, the members of the Deku Squad gathered in the hallway outside their classroom, deep in conversation about the upcoming final exams.

"I can't believe finals are already here," Uraraka remarked, adjusting her backpack strap. "I feel like we just started the semester yesterday."

"Yeah, time flies when you're training to be a Hero," Midoriya replied with a nod. "But we need to make sure we're ready for whatever challenges the exams throw at us."

Todoroki, his usual serious expression softened by a hint of determination, added, "We can't afford to let our guard down. The exams will test our skills in ways we can't predict."

Iida, always eager to uphold his responsibilities as class representative, chimed in, "Indeed. We must approach our preparations with the utmost seriousness and dedication. We owe it to ourselves and to our classmates to perform at our best."

Asui, standing a bit apart from the group, observed quietly, "I think we might benefit from seeking extra help with our training."

The others turned to her, intrigued by her suggestion. "What do you mean, Tsu?" Uraraka asked, curious.

"I mean, we've been working hard, but sometimes a different perspective can help us improve even more," Asui explained, her voice calm and measured. "Maybe we should ask someone for guidance, ribbit."

Todoroki considered her words for a moment before speaking up. "Sentinel-sensei has proven himself to be a capable mentor. Perhaps he could offer us some valuable insights to aid in our preparations."

Iida nodded in agreement. "Sentinel-sensei has demonstrated exemplary leadership and heroism. His guidance would undoubtedly be beneficial to our training regimen."

Uraraka smiled, feeling encouraged by the prospect of seeking help. "It sounds like a plan. Let's go talk to Sentinel-sensei and see if he can assist us."

With their decision made, the Deku Squad made their way to Yaze's office, ready to embark on a new phase of their training journey.

As the Deku Squad made their way to Yaze's office, they exchanged nervous glances and whispered among themselves about their upcoming final exams. When they finally arrived, they found Yaze seated behind his desk, engrossed in some paperwork.

"Hey, Sensei," Midoriya spoke up first, his voice betraying a hint of apprehension. "We were wondering if you could help us with some extra training to prepare for the final exams."

Yaze looked up from his paperwork, his expression thoughtful. "Of course," he replied with a nod. "What aspect of the exams are you looking to focus on?"

Todoroki stepped forward, his gaze steady. "We'd like to work on the physical part," he said firmly. "We want to make sure we're as prepared as possible."

Yaze nodded in understanding. "Alright then," he said, rising from his desk. "Meet me on Field A in ten minutes. We'll start there."

The Deku Squad exchanged determined nods before turning to leave, already feeling a sense of determination building within them. With Yaze's help, they were confident they could tackle whatever challenges lay ahead in their final exams.

Once they arrived on Field A, Yaze stood at the center, waiting for them to gather around him. As they approached, he offered them a reassuring smile.

"Alright, here's the plan," Yaze began, his voice firm but encouraging. "We're going to spar. Your objective is to work together as a team to try and apprehend me. Use your Quirks, your skills, and your strategies. Don't hold back. Give it everything you've got."
