And so, the day of 'H-e' had arrived, I realised as Aizawa pulled out the Salvation challenge card. A few days had passed since the villains' attack on the academy, which had been blamed on cheeky journalists, but nothing particularly interesting had happened. Dressed up in costumes, we were pushed into a bus and, accompanied only by Sotrigolov, sent to the training ground.
- Shizuka,' Asui spoke, 'your quirk is very similar to the Almighty's power....
- Except that the Almighty doesn't maim himself by using force,' Kirishima pointed out, while Midoriya's face showed a look of consternation and her heart must have gone into overdrive. The girl needs to work on her emotions, it's written all over her face....
- It's true, - I decided to cover for my classmate who was in trouble, - there are many different and at the same time similar quirks in our world, - I said, ostensibly thinking, - even me and Hoshi, - and the girl, having heard her name, started wiping a hole in me with an angry look, - we have almost the same quirks and study in the same class, what are the chances of such a coincidence?...?
- Ha! There's more...' the girl whispered under her breath, but the whole bus heard it, and the classmates laughed, and Midoriya, whose interest was completely gone, relaxed and exhaled.
They went on to talk about the rankings, and that it was more of a talent contest, but I didn't want to hear it, looking out the window at the place we were going to. Twenty minutes later, we were there.
- Wow, so this is U.S.J.? - Mina, Uraraka, and Shizuka exclaimed simultaneously as we got off the bus, and I was in complete agreement with them: floods, landslides, and even fires, I couldn't believe that all of these controlled disasters were gathered in one place for training.
- Welcome! - the space heroine 'Number 13' came out to greet us, and the girls squealed as if they'd seen a superstar. - All this was designed by me personally for training in the most dangerous cataclysms, please follow me. - and the whole class followed the girl right into the centre of the huge polygon, where there was a beautiful fountain, and from where you could get to any of the disaster zones.
- Now we... - having got to the place, the heroine wanted to tell about our further actions, as near the fountain the space burst and unpleasant-looking personalities started to come out of it:
- Heroes! - Shigaraki's voice was so nasty it sounded like a fork on glass, it made me shudder, - Heroes! Heroes! - He continued shouting, clearly enjoying the moment as more and more of his companions crawled out of the portal, -Where's the Almighty? Why isn't he here? We came to meet him, how come? Well, if we kill all his disciples, he will come, won't he? - laughed the villain, and I realised that there was something more disgusting in this world than his speech - it was his laughter. - Today we're going to kill the symbol of peace! - Shigaraki shouted, and his team exploded in applause supporting the leader.
- Everyone get back! - the teacher grew serious as he put on his glasses, 'These are the villains! Thirteen, look after the students, - like a bullet Sotrigolova rushed at the villains, knocking them out one by one.
- So guys, - instantly reacted the heroine, - turn round and go out, - commanded the teacher, but before we could make a step, as the way to the exit was blocked by a purple fog.
- Do you really want to miss all the fun? - A purple mist appeared in front of us, blocking our escape route, and two yellow lights in the shape of eyes appeared in front of it, - since you are here, why don't you take part in the game? - Katsumi jumped on the fog and blew it up, but it didn't affect the one in front of us, - oh, oh, I guess I was worried for nothing, I can see you can't wait... - but I decided to test this psycho and his ability by spreading my flame all over the area where the fog was and increased the dissolving effect.
- Oh, I'm sorry, but it doesn't work on me,' the fog said in a calm tone, but I saw that he rose above the ground, just to avoid touching the ground, can he fly? To be honest, I don't remember this weirdo having such an ability, maybe he teleports himself somehow and that creates the effect of flying?
- Are you sure? - A sly smile spread across my face and I launched a fireball right between what appeared to be his eyes and the enemy immediately dodged the attack, - oh? Did something go wrong, Mr Villain?
- What an annoying kid,' Kurogiri said, and in a flash of darkness and blue flames enveloped everything, "but I only need a touch," the villain said as the fog cleared and only a few students and the space heroine remained, and the blue flames disappeared completely. - let's see how your fire handles electricity!
- Where are the students? - exclaimed the teacher, hiding her excitement.
- Maybe I sent them to the bottom of the ocean, or to the mouth of a volcano, - shrugged the violet mist taking a human silhouette, - who knows? But you should deal with me first,' he pointed to himself.
- Children, quickly take cover, - the heroine commanded, opening the fingers of the spacesuit, creating a black hole in front of the enemy. But the enemy was more cunning and created two portals, one in front of himself and one right behind Thirteen's back, causing the heroine to be instantly defeated by her own quirk.
- Sensei! - Shouted Uraraka and Mina as they watched the complete defeat of their instructor.
