Chapter Five

YN followed the rest of the class to the monitoring room. It had a bunch of screens that showcased the indoor battle. Woah, everyone's gonna be on TV! How cool!

"Alright! Let's begin the indoor combat training! Team A and Team B, your time starts now!" All Might yelling into the microphone. He turned to the rest of the class. "Pay attention, kids, think about what you would do."

YN found himself in a nice corner, away from the crowd. How am I supposed to think about it if I don't know which side I'm on and who I'm going against? I don't think he thought this through. He sat down in the corner, his legs pushed against his chest, and his head laying against the wall.

Yaoyorozu noticed YN in the corner of her eyes. What is he doing? He should be analyzing the fight. I swear if he goes to sleep again.

Midoriya and Uraraka climbed through one of the windows. They made their way through the halls, peeking around the walls, making sure it was clear. Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Bakugo jumped from behind a wall. Midoriya pushed Uraraka out of the way. Bakugo exploded the wall in front of him.

Bakugo moved the smoke out of his field of vision. Midoriya stood, clearly speaking, but the screens didn't have audio.

"He almost got the jump on him."

"Sneak attack, Bakugo? What kind of man pulls cheap crap like that?"

"It's a viable strategy," All Might said. "He's playing the part, acting like a true villain would."

"It didn't work! Midoriya dodged it!"

"Look, there he goes!"

Bakugo ran at Midoriya. Midoriya grabbed Bakugo's arm. He turned his feet and pressed his back against Bakugo's torso. He pulled his arm and flipped Bakugo onto his back. Bakugo's breath was knocked out of him.

Everything was shocked. YN's eyes widened, and a smile crossed his face. Finally! Someone put that pomeranian in his place! Never thought it'd be Midoriya of all people, but I'm glad he did. He needed to be humbled. Maybe this isn't too boring. I can definitely get by if it's like this. Long-term enemies finally battle it out. What a headline!

Bakugo stood up, his body radiating anger.

YN stood up to go back to the group, watching a closer look. Man, is this guy never not mad? Who raised him? Did he not have a good home life? I mean, mine was pretty bad, but no one sees me getting mad over things like this.

Bakugo began speaking.

"Hey, who's Bakugo talking to?" Shark Boy wannabe asked. "I'm not hearing anything. Can we get any sound with this video?"

"Same, it kind of takes away from the experience," YN chimed in.

Yaoyorozu glanced at him. "Look who decided to join us again."

"Aw, you noticed I was gone. Does that mean you care about me?"

"Don't flatter yourself, Chronis. There's no time for games here."

"He's got a radio in his ear so he can talk to his partner," All Might replied. "I gave it to him before the match started. Along with the map of the building. Also, this," he pulled out some 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."

"So, there's a 15-minute time-limited, and the good guys have no idea what floor the nuclear weapon is hidden on, right?" the alien girl said.

"Correct!"

"Then the heroes are clearly at a disadvantage here. A big one."

"Real pros have to outwit villains on a daily basis. That's life. Even when the odds aren't in our favor: we fight! All together!"
