"First up are..." All Might started, his hands in two boxes labeled "Heroes" and "Villains".
He then continued, "These! The Heroes are Team F with Team J as the Villains!!!"
'It seems like they're fated to become rivals...' Yusuke commented inwardly, his face looked serious as if he was thinking about something.
"Alright, the Villain Team goes in first! The timer will start in 5 minutes, and the rest of the class will observe your battle via CCTV!"
...
Inside the replica building...
"We'll pass this easily, my friend! My quirk is powerful, so don't worry!" Kaminari conversed with his fuming partner.
"Hey... Deku has a quirk, right?..." Bakugo asked him in a dangerous, low voice.
"Yeah! Didn't you see that ball "whoosh!" so far away when he threw it?" the yellow-haired student answered.
"So, he's been messing with me this whole time..! That damned nerd!!!"
Meanwhile, outside the building...
"Calm yourself, Midoriya-san." said the angelic vine-haired girl.
"Y-yeah... But aren't you worried, Shiozaki-san?" he stammered.
"Why would I be?" she asked, putting her hands together before continuing, "The Lord is with me, I shall not be afraid of anything."
"That's... That's great, Shiozaki-san. But we're up against Kacchan. He may be a jerk, but he's amazing... He's stronger than me in every way."
The green-haired boy's face became determined as he said, "That's why I don't want to lose to him."
"Let's go, Shiozaki-san," he told her, sneaking inside the building.
The two quickly started looking for the room where the Nuclear Weapon was. However, as they were walking, Bakugo came out from nowhere and launched an explosion toward them.
Midoriya managed to move Shiozaki and himself out of the way, but his mask was damaged.
"Nice dodging, Deku..." the explosive teen commented, standing up, only to see a vine wrapped around his leg.
But, suddenly, a scared but determined Midoriya dashed towards him.
"I won't be your worthless punching bag forever, Kacchan!!!" the green-haired teen exclaimed as his fist connected with Bakugo's face.
"You...!"
Shiozaki didn't give their opponent any time to breathe as a vine quickly wrapped around the downed teen.
"Your face... It pisses me off!!!" he shouted, and before Shiozaki could wrap him up completely, he exploded the vines currently constricting him and blasted away.
"Let's follow the misguided sheep, Midoriya-san." the vine-haired student told the worked-up teen.
"Wait! Shiozaki-san... We should split up." he voiced out.
Seeing her confused face, he quickly continued, "He's going to be focusing on me... While he's doing that, you should find the room and disarm the Weapon. Even if Kaminari-san is guarding it, with your quirk, you should be easily able to capture him!"
"I see... Alright then, Midoriya-san. The Lord shall look over you." Shiozaki told him, before running off to find the Weapon's room.
...
With Bakugo...
'That damn pebble... Does he think he can just trick me like that?! Huh?!!!'
"Well, I'll show that nerd... I'll crush him to bits," he said, his hand producing tiny explosions.
He then heard a scream, that infuriated him even more.
"Where are you, Kacchan?! I'm not scared of you anymore!!!"
Bakugo followed the voice and saw Midoriya, his face full of resolution.
"DIE!!!" he shouted, exploding towards the green-haired student and then sending a right hook.
But, it seems like Midoriya expected that since he grabbed the arm, using it to toss Bakugo over his back.
On the floor, the angry teen sent a large explosion toward his opponent, sending him a few meters back.
"That's it..." the explosive student said as he stood up.
He aimed his gauntlet at Midoriya, saying, "This gauntlet has been storing up my sweat..."
Midoriya then put a finger on his ear, before smiling slightly, and whispering something.
"He won't die if it's not a direct hit!"
Seeing that Bakugo was indeed going to use the gauntlet, the green-haired teen gritted his teeth and parried the explosion with his punch.
"Detroit Smash!!!" Midoriya shouted as the explosion was released.
...
The students in the CCTV room looked at the screen with worry, clear on their faces.
"Hero Team Wins!!!" All Might announced, seeing the Weapon and Kaminari wrapped in vines.
The dust settled, and the two figures were now visible. A green-haired student lay on the broken floor, his body darkened from the explosion. The other student, kneeling, his face looked frightened as he saw the damage of his opponent's punch to the building.
***
A few seconds earlier...
"Midoriya-san, I found the room. I will now be capturing a lost lamb." Shiozaki whispered.
"The Lord's Embrace." she voiced out, as vines came out of the ground, wrapping around the weapon and Kaminari.
"EH?! Wait! Not so fast, pretty lady! 1.3 Million Volts!!!" he shouted.
But, his attack was completely useless since a wall of vine protected the girl.
"Hero Team Wins!!!" she heard her teacher shout, and the building rumbled.

What did you think of the chapter?
This is probably one of the few moments where the story is focused on Izuku Midoriya...
