CHAPTER 92: On the Edge of War
Class 1-A gathers outside, excitement buzzing in the air as each of you prepares to showcase the hard-earned skills and moves developed during your Work-Studies. There’s an undeniable pride in the atmosphere, a sense of camaraderie that has only grown stronger since everyone began training under professional heroes. You stand among your classmates, sharing in their eagerness, awaiting your turn to demonstrate what you’ve achieved.
Yuga steps forward first, a glimmer of confidence in his eyes as he activates his new technique. With a dramatic flourish, he unleashes his Navel Saber, a powerful beam of energy that slices through multiple training robots with ease. You can see how he’s learned to control and focus his Quirk, amplifying its offensive power. He looks over at Toru, who grins as she warps Yuga’s light, refracting it at various angles to strike even more targets. The synergy between them is impressive, and the class cheers as the last robot collapses.
Then, Mina steps up, her body covered in a thick, protective layer of acid. She calls it Acidman, a new move she developed with the Equipped Hero: Yoroi Musha. The acid coats her entire body, granting both offensive and defensive capabilities. She rushes through a cluster of robots, dissolving them effortlessly. Afterward, she bounds over to Eijiro, a proud smile on her face. “This is inspired by your Unbreakable move, you know,” she tells him with a wink.
Eijiro’s eyes light up, clearly thrilled to have been part of her inspiration. “That’s so awesome, Ashido!” he exclaims, giving her a hearty pat on the back. You can’t help but smile at the friendly encouragement between them, reflecting how each of you has grown through shared efforts.
As more of your classmates step forward to demonstrate, you marvel at the range of improvements. Rikido and Mashirao, who had trained with Shishido, show off their newfound ability to anticipate opponents’ moves by reading their body language, helping them dodge attacks with precision. Mezo and Kyouka, who trained under Gang Orca, reveal how they’ve sharpened their search skills, becoming more adept at scanning and locating threats in a wide area.
Minoru, Hanta, and Denki, who worked with The Lurkers, demonstrate a fast-paced combination of teamwork, quickly swapping positions and covering each other’s weaknesses. Tenya even learned refined manners from Manual, which, while not directly related to combat, seems to have given him a new level of poise and confidence. Koji displays improved communication skills thanks to his time with Wash, and Fumikage reveals an increased control over Dark Shadow after training with Hawks Agency.
Eijiro explains that he’s learned a new approach to combat under Fat Gum, one that focuses on making opponents lose the will to fight, taking them down with a blend of strategy and compassion. Ochaco and Tsuyu step forward next, showing how they’ve improved their teamwork and decisiveness with Ryukyu, moving in perfect harmony to take down several targets.
Momo, who had trained with Majestic, showcases her newfound ability to predict her opponent’s moves, creating tools and defenses with a newfound efficiency. Katsuki and Shoto display their increased speed and ability, having trained with Endeavor. Their precision is astounding, and as they finish, the two share a brief but respectful nod.
Finally, it’s your turn.
You step forward, feeling the weight of everyone’s eyes on you, but this time, it doesn’t faze you. There’s a calm confidence in your movements, a direct result of the months of intense work under Endeavor’s guidance. Your breath is steady, your focus sharp. You close your eyes for a moment, centering yourself, feeling the familiar hum of your quirk coursing through your body. It’s different now—more refined, more powerful than it was when you first started training. You can control every drop of water, every molecule of ice, every gust of vapor that flows from you.
