My Hero Academia: Blood and Fire
Entry: Interrupted Lesson
Previous ChapterNext ChapterSelene, Celestia, and Izuku found that the rest of the day went by normally, despite the reporters getting into UA before the Principle managed to convince them to depart, which meant going to class like normal, turning in homework, having just a normal lesson, and having a normal school day. It was a nice change of pace, instead of focusing solely on their hero work, even though the sisters knew Aizawa had all sorts of plans for them and had new lessons in mind in the coming weeks, so a bit of a slow pace was nice to have. With that in mind they were able to focus on their school work, collect the assignments for later, and head home while the teachers investigated and fixed the now broken barrier, which they knew would be fixed before they returned in the morning. Of course Katsuki passed them, being the same old annoying person he was, but this time it seemed to be coming from the fact that he had missed his chance to be Class President, even though giving him that sort of power would have been bad for everyone.
When the following morning arrived the siblings returned to UA with their heads held high, they were eager to see what the new day had to offer them and their fellow students, and it wasn't until after lunch that they learned what Aizawa had in mind for them today.
"It was decided that the fundamental hero skill you'll be learning about today will be supervised by myself, All Might, and one of the other teachers: it's the Trial of Rescue." Aizawa stated, where he could see that some of the students were confused by such a thing, while others understood that this was a core concept of what the heroes did while on the job, though while the class talked he tapped a button that revealed the cases containing their battle gear, "Now, this time around it'll be up to you if you wear your costumes, as some of them might not be suited for this type of test... go get changed and meet me at the buses, as we'll be riding to the training site."
As it turned out everyone wore their battle gear, though Izuku had to go in his gym clothes since Katsuki ruined the suit that Inko had made for him, meaning that the support people were making him a new suit to replace the old one, but he did get a new make since his old one was trashed. Tenya, of course, tried to reign them in and offered a way for them to sit while on the bus, even though he was saddened by the fact that the layout of the bus was different from what he was expecting, and as soon as everyone was ready to go Aizawa got them underway. It was a reminder that UA's campus was far larger than all of them were expecting, that they had to take a bus to reach the other testing facility, but it did provide them some time to just talk and relax before worrying about the trial to come. While they relaxed Tsuyu, as that was what the frog girl wanted to be called, made the comparison between Izuku's Quirk and the mysterious Quirk that All Might used, though everyone else was quick to add that All Might didn't have the body breaking aspect, eventually leading to Katsuki shouting and some of the other students teasing him.
In the end they were able to get to their destination without delay, a large facility that had multiple zones so they could have an area for each and every natural disaster, which caused most of the class to be excited as they laid eyes on the place, all while Aizawa tracked down the other teacher, who arrived without delay.
"This is the practical training grounds that I created, to simulate every disaster and type of accident... I call it the 'Ultimate Space for Jams'. a voice said, which was coming from a hero that was dressed as an astronaut, though the gloves they wore seemed to have openings that could be used so they could utilize their Quirk, though the siblings knew that this was 'No 13', a female hero who was often labeled as a man by many, mostly those who didn't know her.
Aizawa glanced around for a moment and asked about All Might, as he was supposed to be here as part of this lesson, and No 13 told him that the Number One was constantly helping people during his commutes to work, so he was likely taking a moment to clean himself before the lesson started. Selene, Celestia, and Izuku knew the truth of that statement, All Might was no doubt in his weakened form and couldn't be seen by the rest of the students while in his true form, though Aizawa thought the buff hero was the height of irrational. It was for that reason that Selene liked their homeroom teacher, he was no nonsense and spoke his mind, and it seemed like he really disliked All Might, despite his contributions to the lives of the other heroes, causing him to focus on the lesson with just him and No 13 as the teachers. No 13 even talked about her Quirk a little, a power called 'Black Hole' that sucked up all matter and broke it down, a power that could save and do harm, just like all of their Quirks, and even talked about the lessons they learned from the last two trials, while this lesson was to make sure they knew their various Quirks could help people.
Selene's attention was disrupted as she noticed the familiar opening of Kurogiri's gates, as one opened in the center of the entire facility and she noticed that Aizawa noticed as well, though the first one to emerge was Tomura, wearing the freaky hands all over his body, and as he called for No 13 to protect the students Selene found an array of villains standing before them, with a Nomu among their number.
"Eraserhead and No 13... but no All Might? Strange, that doesn't match the information we obtained." Kurogiri said, though at the same time he didn't even look at Selene, as they had to act as if they were strangers meeting for the first time, but he was pleased to see that all three of his Sensei's children seemed to be doing well.
"You mean to tell me that after all of the preparations we did, and the gathering we did, the final boss isn't even here for us to fight?" Tomura remarked, where it was easy for them to tell that he was annoyed, his voice told them volumes, while at the same time No 13 told the other students that these were villains and weren't part of the lesson, causing them to have some level of fear since this was most of their first time in this situation, "I wonder... do you think All Might will come to us if we slaughter his precious 'villagers'?"
"Sensei, permit us to do battle." Selene stated, because while this deviated from what she was hoping this day would have, as she liked learning about the core aspects of what made a hero in this world, she also wanted to smack around Tomura for a time, and he picked one of the worst times to do so, because while it was around one o'clock in the afternoon her sister's power was still beyond what Tomura possessed, "Celestia and I are here, and we're more than a match for these thugs."
Aizawa looked at Selene for a moment, debating whether or not her request was a good thing, before eventually sighing as he pulled his goggles out and placed them over his eyes, because this could be a bad move or it might just save them, and of all of his students he trusted these two the most.
"Selene, Celestia... you two have my express permission to do battle." Aizawa stated, because with the amount of villains in the crowd there was no way he was going to be able to keep all of them contained and away from all of the other students, and No 13 wasn't much of fighter, rather she was a rescue specialist, before sighing again, "And Class 1-A, if you are attacked by villains, you have my permission to defend yourselves."
"Are you serious? What can two pawns do against an army?" Tomura remarked, his tone telling them that he believed that his force was going to come out ahead in this fight, while at the same time Kurogiri stood off to the side, his orders were clear to not engage the sisters if they ended up attacking this particular class.
"Plenty, actually." Selene stated, where she climbed onto the railing and let her body shift into her hybrid form before just leaping into the fray, where the villains stared at her for a few seconds as she touched the ground, a smile on her face as she looked at all of her targets for a couple of seconds, "Night Hunt."
This was one of her Ultimate Moves, the signatures of a hero, that involved using her speed and power to rush around the area she was in, to the point that it made her look like she was literally jumping out of the shadows while attacking her foes, much to the surprise of Tomura and his various allies. With that in mind Selene lashed out at the lesser villains, kicking and punching them before any of them even had a chance to target her, and those that attacked the general direction she was moving in happened to miss her as she dodged, forcing the villains to hit their own allies. When she actually attacked them her form and methods were closer to what her mentor would have done, her attacks hitting areas that would bring each of them down in no time at all, while at the same time keeping her guard up for additional attacks. Selene even spun around in the air before bringing the back of her foot down on one of the lesser villains, sending him headfirst into the ground, which knocked out another foe while the others just stood there in shock as they realized that she was literally beating them up like it was nothing.
Aizawa found that his assumptions were correct, Selene fought just like Mirko did, in fact it seemed like she might have also inherited some of battle bunny's habits, a nickname that people gave the rabbit hero, meaning Mirko had to be her mentor, there was no doubt about it now, yet Selene was calm and collected, despite having a smile on her face as she beat up the villains that came at her.
Celestia, on the other hand, kept it short and simple as she engaged the villains that came at her, after she slid down to the area her sister was fighting in, where she dodged the attacks that were coming her way and grabbed the arms of her foes, a fact that allowed her to slam them into the ground. There were no wasted movements when she fought her enemies, rather she made sure that each of her foes wasted their energy as she fought them, and yet when the villains reached for her she just sidestepped their grabs and lashed out at them without delay. As Aizawa watched her he understood why Ryukyu had taken a liking to Celestia, she was skilled when it came to combat, fighting as well as Selene and Mirko by the looks of it, and the shocking this was that the girl wasn't even using her Quirks at the moment. Even the villains that dared to loose blasts at her found that they didn't have a target at all, as Celestia weaved around the area that she and her sister were in, sticking all of her targets with ease, like she understood that neither of her overpowered Quirks were needed right now.
In that moment Aizawa and No 13 understood why even All Might was interested in the sisters, their skills were far beyond that of all of the other students that had been selected this year, because in a short period of time the lesser villains that had been assigned to this area had been wiped out, and neither sister had taken a single bit of damage.
"...the FUCK?!" Tomura stated, as this wasn't what he was expecting to see, that the lesser villains they had spent time trying to find would be wiped out that quickly, because the ones that hadn't been warped to the other regions of the facility, as in those who would have fought Eraserhead, were now unconscious on the ground, "Kurogiri, get rid of them!"
"Of course." Kurogiri replied, though Selene found out two things, the first being that No 13 had gotten Tenya to leave, so he was no doubt running to UA to get the rest of the teachers, and the second was how he targeted everyone else and warped them all over the facility, leaving her, Celestia, and Eraserhead in front of them.
"Why did you leave them behind?!" Tomura asked, his tone revealing that he was annoyed with this turn of events, especially since the sisters had wiped out the advanced force that was supposed to deal with the other teachers before they focused on restraining and killing All Might.
"You know the reason why, Tomura: Sensei told us not to touch them, or even engage them." Kurogiri said, where Selene wasn't even remotely surprised by that, their father didn't want either of them or Izuku to deal with Tomura and his issues, and yet the brat was going out of his way to attack their class specifically, which she knew Hisashi would have a problem with.
"You know what, screw this. Nomu, crush the one with the golden costume first." Tomura stated, because this wasn't fun and he wanted to get the show on the road before they clashed with All Might, all while Selene glanced in the direction of the flood area as the air shuddered, no doubt Izuku using his Quirk again, and the brutish Noma walked forward and brought his fist down on where Celestia was standing, kicking up a bunch of dust, "Ha, see?! Nothing to..."
Selene wasn't even surprised as Celestia emerged from the smoke unscathed, though this time she had used a single finger to stop the Nomu's attack, and as the seconds ticked by her sister stepped out and revealed her own hybrid form, which was why she was able to stop the powerful attack like it was nothing.
"Worry about? Sorry, you picked the wrong people to say that to." Celestia replied, where she flicked her finger towards the ground and the Nomu went down into the ground, much to the creature's surprise and Tomura's shock, while Selene smiled as she joined her sister in going on the offensive.
Aizawa watched as the sisters literally beat the Nomu like it was nothing, the creature staggered as it was knocked around by Selene's attacks, and when it tried to hurt the sisters the tiger used Hydra to shield herself while the other simply remained in her dragon hybrid form, and it wasn't long before they knocked it into the ground.
"Okay, that's it! Both of you are dying here and now!" Tomura stated, where he rushed at Celestia first, she seemed to be the greatest threat right now and if he wiped her out it might force the others to realize the terror that he represented, though as he approached his target he found that she returned to her base form for a moment, before a flaming aura appeared around her, one that was unlike anything he had seen before, and the heat alone caused him to pull his hand back before he got burned, "What the? That's not fire... what is it?"
"My main Quirk: Sunshine." Celestia said, because while many assumed that Dragon was her main Quirk, since she used it far more often than this one, she, Selene, and Izuku knew that her true power rested in this Quirk, where she raised her left hand into the air for a moment and a large orb of solar energy appeared above her, five times the size of the one she used to keep Selene and Tenya down during their first trial.
"...what the fucking hell is this bullshit?! You can use the power of the FUCKING SUN?!" Tomura remarked, as this was just beyond unfair in his eyes, because not only did they have the mutant pony girl and her Tiger and Hydra Quirks to deal with, a foe they had to get through to get to All Might, now there was someone who could turn into a freaking dragon, which he did find to be interesting, and channel the power of the sun itself.
"Yes, and this is one of my specials: Cruel Sun." Celestia replied, though Selene wasn't surprised by her calm approach, due to the fact that her sister was quite literally in her element right now, and if she was being honest she loved seeing the brat like this, flustered and outraged by the hand that he had been dealt, "It is time that we brought an end to your incursion into UA, villain."
Tomura growled for a moment, clearly debating his options on what to do, before the door to the facility burst open and All Might, in his basic teacher outfit, walked in as he tore off his tie, why Selene had no idea, and if she was being honest the frown on his face really didn't suit him at all. She understood that it was meant to be taken in a way that expressed just how concerned he was for his students, and his fellow teachers, but even then she felt that the frown really didn't fit with his face or his attitude, and instead of letting them finish the deed he rushed down to where they were standing. Celestia sighed as she dismissed her Cruel Sun, because All Might's arrival meant there was no reason for her and Selene to do much, though they did find that the Nomu got back up and rushed the Number One hero, like it was trying to uphold it's mission, despite the beating it had taken. She and Selene found that the weakened hero actually struggled to deal with the weakened Nomu, his punches did nothing to the monster and found that it was pushing him back, and yet All Might refused to go down as he channeled more of his fading power into his punches, going 'Plus Ultra' as he threw three hundred of them at the Nomu, to cripple it's defenses.
In the end All Might's last punch sent the creature flying through the air, though while Tomura debated fighting all of them, his target and the girls, he was shot multiple times by Snipe as he and the other teachers arrived, causing Kurogiri to warp the two of them out of there, where Selene sighed as she wondered what this meant for them and their hero studies.
