Chapter 25: Battle Trials (2)

"Spacey room." Izuku observed while he hummed a tune, to which Ojiro winced and took a step away from the humming armored teen, as did the rest of the students following All Might.

The room was dark, save for the only source of light being the various screens adorned on the walls showcasing the areas where the two teams were going to do battle.

One of the screens showed Ochako and Denki conversing with each other with slight frowns on their faces. As for what they were talking about, Izuku didn't hear. It seemed the TVs didn't come with audio.

Another one of the screens saw to Tenya blabbering something to Mina, who had a grimace on her face as the tirade continued. There was no audio, something that All Might probably had a hand in to make sure their conversations are kept silent. A stupid idea, if you asked Izuku.

How were the others supposed to learn from their mistakes when they can't even hear what their tactics are? But hey, he was just a student here, and no matter what Nezu says about him being his favorite, he doubted he could just take control of the class and have them go battle royal in one of the buildings.

Chaotic fights were more fun, plus, the more you participate in one, the more your awareness and skills grow. Can't survive for more than a few seconds if all you did was focus on the enemy in front of you while ignoring one from the back.

That's how Izuku learned in Lordran. Always be aware of your surroundings. He still hadn't forgotten how many times he rolled off a cliff or ledge while dodging an attack from a measly hollow, resulting in his demise via gravity, the strongest boss in Lordran.

Now there's a thought. Izuku would have to run it by Nezu, but knowing the rat's tendencies, it was a guarantee. He couldn't wait for their next practical exercise.

With a grin forming underneath his helmet, hiding the sight from the rest of the class, Izuku's eyes widened when he realized that the fight was already ongoing. Shaking his head from the stupor, he analyzed the heart-pounding action being shown on screen.

Mina was skating around both Denki and Ochako, the former of which was trying, and failing, to shock the grinning pink girl, due to the fact that Denki was too scared to even touch the acid-themed girl. Also, friendly fire.

Ochako, meanwhile, was the same as Denki, too scared to approach due to the sizzling liquid that was melting through the floor, but she had a look of determination riding on her face.

Looking to another screen, Tenya was standing still, alone inside the room where they placed the bomb prop. Izuku was a bit confused, but hey, if they had a plan, then they had a plan. At least it seems to be working.

Glancing back at the other monitor, Izuku's eyes widened once more because of what was on screen. Ochako was straddling Mina and trying to get a grip on her wrists. Behind her, Denki was rushing forward with the capture tape in his hand.

"What? What just happened?" Izuku asked the one right next to him, who happened to be Tsuyu.

"Uraraka tackled Ashido to the ground, kero." Tsuyu put a finger under her chin and hummed. "I don't know why it worked, but it did, kero."

Izuku was now confused. Wasn't the pink-themed girl skating circles around the two?

"Ashido Mina is captured." All Might's voice boomed across the room, his finger tapping on the transceiver fit snugly in his ear.

On the screen, Mina pouted while Denki and Ochako shared a high-five. On the other screen showing Tenya, he was making some very weird gestures which involves making hand signs and curving his back.
