3rd Pov
The entire class had been asked to get ready into their brand new Hero Costumes and gather at the testing area. Soon everyone was wearing their costumes, Midoriya looked especially happy with how his costume turned out. Everyone looked at each other, comparing their costumes and showing off their versatility when suddenly Ida rose a question.
" Did anyone see Akash? I didn't saw him in boys changing room?", he asked and everyone became silent for a moment. They whispered and finally came to conclusion that Akash never went in the boys changing room.
" Does that means he went to girls' changing room?!", said Kaminari, they gasped and then looked at the girls who arrived after them and questioned them one by one. " Excuse me, did any of you see Akash?", asked Midoriya and they denied it. " No, and also why do you think he would be in girls' changing room?", asked Momo with a frown.
The boys became embarrassed, and even girls felt it was wrong after all Akash's stature was of a thin boy and his face was androgynous as hell, but due to his blue hair and thin stature he looked more of a girl than the boy he was. " Wait a minute! Now that I think I didn't saw him in boy's changing room during the first day either!!", Kirishima said.
" Where the heck that femboy went?!", shouted Bakugo while fuming. Suddenly, Akash arrived," You guys want something from me?", he asked looking at them. " Indeed, we want to inquire where did you get changed?", asked Ida as he touched his spectacles. " Haha! I guess you all finally realized it! Well I have a private Changing room", he said as everyone's expression changed.
" What?!!", they shouted. " How dare you extra have an changing room?!!!", shouted Bakugo as he fumed with anger coming near him. " Hmm!! Anyway, don't fight everyone! Quickly follow me!!", suddenly All Might interrupted as he stopped Bakugo. " All Might! Why does he have a private changing room?!", asked Sero.
All Might coughed and said," Due to the special circumstances of Akash's appearance, teachers decided to allocate him an private changing room!", finally others understood what he meant. " Indeed, Akash looks like a girl but he is a boy, so it would be inappropriate for him to be in a girl's changing room, while he can't be in a boys room as his look and build are very suggestive, thus letting him have a private changing room", said Ida as he touched his spectacles.
" Hey, stop doing that", said Akash deadpanned as Ida touched his spectacles again and looked at him confused, Akash sighed when suddenly a shout erupted," I am not convinced!! This is being biased! He is a fucking boy even if he is a trashy femboy! Thus he will eat, change and shit in boy's room!!", said Bakugo as he glared at Akash who simply smiled,' Twenty-five bones to be broken during the Sports Festival of this wild dog, keep the record Great Sage ', he said to his partner.
[Affirmative], Great Sage replied.
" Bakugo! No swearing and cursing your classmates! Do it again and you will earn a one week long detention from me!!", All Might said as he looked at Bakugo with slight glare, making him enough to shut up, he glared at Akash once more before looking away, and muttering," Fucking Extra", finally after that small ordeal they reached the testing place.
" Good, now let me explain you today's class! This is a practical class and...", All Might started explaining while Akash yawned,' Hmm, I am feeling sleepy, any particular reason Great Sage? ', he asked as he knew as a slime he isn't supposed to feel sleepy.
[Answer, Master is simply feeling bored, thus his habits from previous life are making you feel sleepy], Great Sage replied.
He sighed and waited for All Might to finish his explanation,' Still in the original this small arc was supposed to be an epic showdown between Midoriya and Bakugo, with my intervention will the things remain same? ', he thought, Akash understood that some power, most probably the world's will was trying to keep the plot or rather pre-destined events intact despite the furious flaps of Butterfly's wings.
' Like, how Midoriya fell as we arrived that day for the USA Entrance Exams despite it shouldn't have happened ', he thought and then asked,' Say, Great Sage what are the chances that this Battle Trial will play out exactly as it did in the original? '.
[Answer! According to my calculations it should be only 40% of chances of same events happening as Master belongs to a higher world, and his very presence distorts the pre-destined events], Great Sage replied.
Akash sighed as Midoriya came beside him with an excited look," This test is going to be amazing and we need to perform our best! ", he said and then looked at him," Even if we are paired against each other, I am still going to perform my best!", Midoriya said and Akash nodded and said," Indeed, I would not expect any less, though we won't be paired together and against".
Midoriya frowned and then looked where Akash was looking and saw the team allocations, finding them in different teams. Akash was paired up with Hagakure, who drew a card and the results came," Team C of Akash and Hagakure as Villains against Team E of Todoroki and Ida as Heroes!!", All Might announced as Midoriya slumped, he wanted a match with or against Akash.
Akash patted his shoulder and said," Don't worry we will compete each other against in Sports festival, this practical class is much less important than it", and Midoriya regained his spirit and nodded. " Wait a minute sir, shouldn't Team A should be first to draw the card?", asked Ida and All Might replied," It's all random, don't worry! Even which team should draw card and play first was my random decision."
Ida nodded while All Might sweated,' I can't tell them I wanted to see the match of Akash and Midoriya first, sadly they weren't paired against each other, it would have been best if they were ', he thought. Then both the teams came to the testing ground, and Akash and Hagakure quickly went to the topmost floor.
" Um- So, Hey! I am Hagakure! Toru Hagakure", said the Invisible girl nervously, Akash looked at her using his Great Sage's All of Creation and thought,' She is indeed pretty huh? ', then he replied," My name is Akash Alpheus, and well I would be blunt your quirk would have been more suitable for infiltration than defense."
His words made Hagakure depressed knowing well that she was a burden to Akash, afterall their enemies were Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Ida, two powerhouses of their class, meanwhile her quirk while quite useful wasn't a match against those two. " I am sorry, but I- I can be helpful!", she said and Akash nodded and smiled," Indeed, that's why I would like to request you to take care of the bomb as they inflitrate while I take care of them."
She nodded knowing well it was for the best, soon she took out her gloves and shoes becoming completely invisible while they got the signal and the training started. He quickly reached the second floor when he saw the entire building freezing," Predictable", he said as orange hot flames manifested around him and evaporated the ice.
" Huh?", Todoroki became surprised seeing his ice suddenly evaporating, and Ida said," It seems Akash is coming, let's act as we discussed!", and Todoroki nodded, Tenya quickly used his quirk and ran up on the other way as Shoto froze the floor below him again, and slid through the ice, quickly transversing through the place, he even made an ice jet behind his feet to climb through the stairs.
' Our plan is simple and efficient, we both act separately, and whoever gains the attention of Akash keeps him busy while other secures the victory, considering Hagakure's quirk she would hardly pose any threat to us ', Shoto thought impressed of Ida's plan, while he liked to act alone, but this practical required cooperation between two students, thus he was ready to act coordinated to achieve the victory, after all that's what all mattered to him in the end, and he was ready to chose any means to achieve it.
...
" Damn! Both are acting separately! This is going to be tough for Akash-bro!", said Kirishima and Momo nodded," This is a perfect strategy to counter Akash's prowess considering that he is an Esper and intelligence quirk holder, as long as one of them reaches to the bomb they will win", she said and everyone agreed, while Bakugo smirked.
" I don't think it won't work", suddenly Midoriya said garnering everyone's attention. " The reason Midoriya?", asked Momo and he replied," This strategy might be great against someone other than Akash, but against him it results failure- Wait! See the screen!", they looked at the screen and found Ida and Akash met each other and were standing just a bit away from each other.
...
' Good! I just need to now buy tim- ', Tenya couldn't complete his thought as Akash's figure appeared next to them as if he teleported, though the small crack on the floor where he previously and gusts of wind spilled the truth. Tenya's eyes widened as Akash grabbed his head with his palm and the next moment the entire building shook as Akash simply obilerated through the walls and floors reaching to Todoroki.
" Huh?", Todoroki reacted as a figure fell behind him and crashed to the wall, his eyes widened as he looked at Akash who stood before him and Ida whose figure fell on the floor unconscious. Everyone watching the battle through camera gasped. " Wh-What happened?!", Tsuyu said, no one replied as everyone's eyes fixated on the screen.
Shoto gritted his teeth and looked at Ida and shouted," Ida! Ida!", on getting no reply he realized Ida was out, though only big scratches and slight bleeding on his forehead were visible, suggesting his injuries weren't serious. Then he shifted his focus at Akash who looked at him, Todoroki quickly shot short dense Icicles at him.
A layer of wind formed around Akash dispersing all the attacks much to Todoroki's shock,' Are you kidding me? Those Icicles can break through layers on Iron! ', he thought and then quickly froze entire floor intending to fool him and attacked with icicles, while summoning Ice shields to defend him simultaneously.
His skillfull operations showed both the might and his control over his quirk, but they were useless as a flame tornado formed around Akash rendering all his attacks useless, while a few beams of flames destroyed his shields. The flames vanished and so did the wind shield around Akash, sensing the opportunity Todoroki again attacked but Akash manifested a dagger and simply cut through all of his attacks.
The scene looked spectacular as Icicles flying towards Akash at nearly the sound of speed were destroyed into half or into pieces as Akash swung his dragger and slowly moved towards him. Shoto thought he should retreat but remembering the stunt Akash pulled off not long ago, and that he had very less time remaining he gritted his teeth.
" You aren't using your other quirk", said Akash and Todoroki replied," I do not need it!", he again shot Icicles at him, again Akash simply destroyed them at Inhumane speed and said," All I see, you do need it. In this narrow place you can't use wider attack, as it might result in the failure of your objective and this Icicles aren't gonna cut either."
" I said I do not need it!", Todoroki retorted and Akash laughed," Really? You are bickering like a kid now, I have not defeated you as I wanted to see your full power, as of right now not to mention 50% you aren't even using 10% of your abilities properly, so I ask the final time, use your Fire quirk", Akash said and Todoroki thought for a moment before a burst of flames shot towards Akash.
He quickly formed a shield around him while shooting some icicles with his another hand, but this time Akash didn't used any special abilities, under the shocked eyes of Todoroki all his attacks even his flames didn't scratch Akash, a thin barrier shined around his body," Weak", muttered Akash as it hit Todoroki, he felt humiliated and the next moment a shock ran through his body, and he became unconscious.
A sound rang announcing the end of the match, while everyone of 1-A remained stupefied as they looked at the screen, Akash's victory was sim-simply overwhelming. " Team C wins!", All Might announced with a big smile, ' That was overwhelming, haha as expected of my training! ', he thought.
