All Might

"Today you will be split into teams of heroes and villains. It'll be an indoor 2 on 2 team battle!" I beamed.

And then I glanced over to Y/N, who's eyes were shining. My mind flashes to Nemuri and I internally cringe slightly. 'Oh she's dead if Aizawa sees this.'

(Third Person)

Once everyone was sorted into their teams ;

Team A : Ochako Uraraka & Izuku Midoriya
Team B :Mezo Shoji & Shoto Todoroki
Team C : Minoru Mineta & Momo Yaoyarozu
Team D : Katsuki Bakugou & Tenya Iida
Team E : Ashido Mina & Yuuga Aoyama
Team F : Koji Kota & Rikido Sato
Team G : Denki Kaminari & Kyoko Jiro
Team H : Fumikage Tokoyamj & Tsuyu Asui
Team I : Mashirou Ojiro & Y/N L/N
Team J : Hanta Sero & Eijiro Kirishima

All Might drew lots to see who would be the first 'hero' and 'villain' teams. Team A as the heroes and team D as the the villains.

'Oh dear..' Y/N thought, remembering what Deku had told her earlier about himself and Bakugou being childhood playmates. 'I hope they're okay'.

After the rest of the class makes their way up to the monitor room, Y/N instantly catches onto the look on their faces. 'Bakugou looks.. really angry. But Deku looks determined?' She gulps.

(A/N I know I said it's third person but let's just not add the dialogue cause Author-chan is lazy~ so it's gonna be a recap of the fight from the class's view
- which doesn't have sound)

And then it started. Bakugou instantly ran off in search for the hero team, leaving Iida to guard the 'bomb' himself. A surprise explosion followed not long after, knocking the hero team backwards. Midoriya tells something to Uraraka, before she runs off, presumably in search of the 'weapon' they were looking for.

Bakugou rushes to Midoriya raising his arm, which the shorter boy seems to catch effortlessly., before flipping him over his shoulder.

"What is he saying?" Kirishima asked, "There's no audio coming from the surveillance footage."

All Might explains that the teams were communicating through wireless receivers, along with having a rough sketch of the buildings blueprint plans.

"The time limit is 15 minutes, and the heroes have no idea where the weapon is, right" Mina asks, to which All Might responds with a,

"Yes!"

"It looks like the hero side is at a pretty big disadvantage then." She replies, looking a little worried.

"Didn't Aizawa teach you-" All Might starts, only to be cut off by Aoyama pointing at the screen.

The attention of everyone in the room is diverted back to Midoriya and Bakugou, who appear to be going head to head, despite the former not using his quirk at all.

'He probably wants to avoid injuring himself unnecessarily,' Y/N thinks. 'But still, if he keeps going like this..'

'That kid.. his head is swimming with all that fanboy knowledge he's over the years' notes All Might, as his pupil dodges another would-be brutal attack. Midoriya runs off, trying to get Bakugou off his trail.

Meanwhile with Uraraka and Iida..

The brunette finally manages to find the room with Iida, and the fake weapon, in it. Iida's face twists into a maniacal state, causing Uraraka to let out an accidental laugh. Once he notices her presence, they talk.

'Gahhh.. Uraraka don't let him distract you! Just get to the weapon..' Y/N thinks.

Y/N

'Oh no.. Bakugou has Deku basically cornered.. what's he going to do now?' I wondered, noticing the lump in my throat. I gulped. Bakugou raises his arm and points on of his gauntlets at Deku, saying something I couldn't make out.

Toshi yells, "Bakugou my boy, you'll kill him!"

Either he didn't hear him or he didn't care, because Bakugou's eyes never left the greenette's. 'Die..' was all I could think, as my head started spinning and I began to lose my balance. He wouldn't kill him.. right?

I lurch forwards feeling faint, until I feel a firm grip on my shoulder.

Todoroki

The girl in front of me was trembling and by the looks of it she was feeling sick. Not wanting a cause a scene, I grabbed onto her shoulder, steadying her. She looked up at me, but the expression on her face scared me. She looked helpless. Terrified.

"Hey.. are you alright?" I ask her quietly. Y/N was her name as I recall it. She was Mr. Aizawa's adoptive daughter and.. oh. According to the news a couple years ago, her whole family was killed in an accident with the exception of her dad who died a mere 2 years later.

Not knowing what to do, I did the only thing I could think of, which was what my mom used do to calm me down. I pulled her in close. No one else had noticed, since they were all paying attention to the battle on the screen.

I remembered noticing her flames from that very first day, and I couldn't help but remind myself of my 'father'. But it wasn't the same. She used them so freely. It was.. beautiful. I'd be first to admit I was a little jealous, since she always used her fire was such elegance, while I was here shutting mine away.

She sniffled, trembling. 'So fragile..' I thought, trying my best to comfort her. 'She seems so upbeat all the time.. how long has she been hiding this?' I couldn't help but wonder. She grips the section of my costume that was uncovered by ice, burying her face in the fabric. 'She's gone through so much as well.. but why do I feel like I want to be the one to protect her from now on?'

Y/N

After a little bit, I let go of him. "Thank you.." I mumble, not realizing what I was doing until a few seconds later. "O-oh my gosh. I'm so sorry.." I manage to push out, to which Todoroki replies with a confused looking face, soon replaced by his usual stoic one.

"It's.. not a problem. Are you feeling better?" He asks me, as I blush and nod vigorously. He felt.. comforting.

We stared into each others eyes for a few seconds before I ripped my gaze away, turning to the screen. Deku and Bakugou seemed to be going head to head again, but this time everyone was protesting for Toshi to end the match.

"Attention both teams, the match is-" but he suddenly stops when he sees Uraraka day something to Deku.

The two boys collide, shaking the entire building, possibly sending shockwaves throughout the whole city, even. When the smoke clears, Deku seems to be extremely injured, but still manages to yell something out.

He had used one arm to protect himself while using the other to.. punch the air? But then you notice Uraraka, who uses the debris from the damage to attack Iida. Floating her way over on a destroyed beam, she lands on the weapon with a blissful expression on her face.

'It's finally over..' I sigh with relief, still worried nonetheless. As Deku gets carried away to Recovery Girl's office on a stretcher, one of my classmates notes, "The losing team is almost completely uninjured, while the winners are collapsed on the floor."

"In other words, they lost the battle but won the war," replied another, whom I think was Tokoyami.

And with that concluded the first round of battle training.
