"Yo̡u̮ a͈re ͈wa͔t̹c͖h̗i̟n͕g̪ qu̠i̜t͖e̢ ̗int̖ently͜~͖"̰
Izuku internally scoffed as Nana attempted to tease him over his intense look as Momo maneuvered to the goal zone of their speed test.
First thing back and the hero class was testing their new limits. UA never changed, but he never wanted it to.
Maze of pipes in an industrial zone. Slippery metal, unstable footing. Even Tomoyo would struggle with getting there fast.
"O̯r ̮ṷsed̡ t̺o̤, ̬s̞h̗e m͓i̟g͕ht̩ d̼o͕ bet͎t̥er no̘w̺ ̺th̠a̘ţ ̜s̯he̝ ͕has͓ t̡r̠ai̪ne͚d̮ i͓n t͖he̖ i̖nt̘e̹rn͕ships.̻"
He hummed in thought, focusing on Momo once more.
She had spent a week under Nighteye and it was showing, unlike everyone else she seemed much more aware of her surroundings, each step taken with purpose, her body moving as efficiently as it could through the layered maze.
"H̗e͢r suit̮ ̭is am̦aẕi̜ng͍ ͇to͎ ștare͚ a͈t͕, ̢i̼snͅ'̖t̩ ̭i͉t?"
He didn't even validate that with a response.
"Woaaaah," Hakagure chimed from his side, leaning onto his crossed arms. "Look at Momo go!"
The next few moments took the breath out of Izuku.
Momo generated two climbing picks from her thighs, releasing them during her steps forward, the added momentum shooting them forward and up enough for her to grab out of the air, using both to grip onto the ledge in front of her and kicking off the wall, the momentum giving her enough leverage to pull herself up with ease.
He blinked slowly, a smile breaking out. "She's starting to use the full extent of her quirk."
"You mean adding the momentum of her limbs?" Katsumi grumbled, trying to keep herself from smiling. "It's annoying how versatile it is."
"Oh hush Ms. 'I can fly'," Hakagure muttered hiding behind Izuku's frame. "Like your quirk isn't stupid versatile."
"Not my fault it's the best quirk out there!" Katsumi cackled almost egotistically.
"Well, in theory, you could think of your quirk to be the best-considering your educational background, I have no doubt your quirk was the best of the bunch-I am inclined to point out that Izuku's quirk..." she paused to rake her eyes over his body as if she were appraising him. "...is likely the best. Just based on genetic luck, of course," she finished quickly from the side.
"He doesn't fucking count," Katsumi grumbled, looking back to Momo.
Izuku's eyes landed on Ochako who was looking greener than usual as she used her quirk to hop from pipe to pipe, keeping herself above the ground, but seemingly the angles she was taking were causing her greater discomfort.
He could barely hear her grumble 'this isn't as easy as running on the three-pointers' over the feed.
"Oop, it's done!" Hakagure cheered, seeing Mina beat Momo by a second. "Guess even with all of her tools, she is still a little slower than Mina"
"I mean, by a second sure," Izuku muttered with a tilt of his head.
"Next group!" All Might hollered from her spot, echoing to their location even as she stood a good 500 meters away.
"Your turn." Katsumi sneered, "try to beat my time, will ya?"
"As much fun as it will be seeing your reaction to getting beaten by him, Midoriya's movements will be slower- probably, you are lugging around what? 150 kilos of support gear alone?" Saiko mumbled scanning his hero suit up and down.
