Chapter Text
Izuku POV:
I just finished writing out JNPR's training Regiment this morning, I lean back in my seat and stretch out my arms after writing so long, I had woken up at 5 in the morning and immediately started working on this. I get out of my seat and put on my costume, Support Gear, and equip my weapons, I then walk out with the worksheets and walk to JNPR's dorm room and tape it to their door, I then walk away and message Ruby and Arc to meet me in Goodwitch's classroom, thankfully I was given permission to use it while everyone set up the arena.
I arrive in the classroom with no one inside, "Goodwitch followed her word."
I walk down the steps and hop off the bleachers and land on the ground before walking up onto the arena and put Bolt Strike down in the corner; out of the way for when the fight starts. I then pull out my scroll and connect to the stage's banners to display my Aura level up on both as one big screen. I look up at it as I put my scroll away.
"That'll work," I think to myself, watching the display.
I pop my neck as I crack my knuckles, then pull down my mask and look at my hands, I clench them as I activate my Aura. I start stretching my limbs so I'm ready for the two teams to arrive, I even start taking practice swings, kicks, and punches to get me. I keep this up for around half an hour until I hear doors open, I take one more left straight punch before looking back and up, seeing Ruby, Schnee, Blake, Long, Arc, Valkyrie, Nikos, and Ren walking down the steps, a bit tired.
I smile under my mask as I turn to them with my arms open, "Good morning, everyone!"
Ruby yawns, "Good morning Izuku."
I blush before refocusing, "Haven't fully woken up I see."
Valkyrie rubs her eye as Arc says, "We just woke up and saw your text, so we came right away."
I chuckle, "Well, maybe I should wake you up a bit, huh?"
Long stretches, "Yeah, that would be grea-"
I interrupted Long by summoning Black Whip and shot them straight at each of them, stopping right in front of their faces, they all tensed up as the ends of each whip was practically millimeters from their faces. Arc had fallen over from the surprise.
I smirked as I said, "Awake now?" I dispelled Black Whip.
Schnee stomped her foot, "Are you insane?!"
I shrug, "Honestly, maybe... anyway!" clapping my hands as Schnee looked at me in concern.
I start walking back and forth, facing them, "Now that you're all alert, I'm going to explain to you how exactly this training will be moving along."
Arc got up as I continued, "As you're all aware, this training is mainly focused in overcoming the many weaknesses and faults the professor’s and I have seen in your combat ability. The regiments I've given each of you is something you'll be doing from dawn till dusk, with breaks for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and the occasional water break."
They all squirmed as Arc looked panicked, I kept pacing, "This is to ensure your bodies all improve, your stamina increases, your strengths enhanced, and your Auras and Semblances amplified."
I look down and adjust my gloves and gauntlets as I keep talking, "On top of your regiments, I will be selecting one of you to fight me one-on-one. This is to see how much you improve throughout the 6 weeks. This process will be constant, as others train, we will fight, once the fight is over and I give my criticisms, you will be sent out for someone, and you switch."
I look at them again, seeing them getting more and more worried, "I assure you; this is necessary if you want to improve quickly for the tournament. Throughout the missions and assignments you've been given this school year, you've been moderate, but not excellent, which is what we're hoping to change now."
I stop pacing as I turn to face them fully, "But, before we start all that, there will be two fights that will differ from all the others. These will be 8 vs 1 matches, the first one being right now, and the last being the day before the Vytal Festival Tournament."
They all look at each other then back to me as Arc asks, "All of us... against you?"
I nod, then Blake adds, "Are you sure?"
I nod, "Yes, I have more experience than all of you when it comes to real-world combat, and with my overwhelming power, I have to constantly hold back when fighting you one at a time. I usually fight you with around 20%, on occasion 30%, but not often, I can fight up to 45% of my Semblance without my Aura... 100% with my Aura,"
All their eyes widen after I say this before I cross my arms, "I will be fighting with my Aura, Support Gear, and my Quirk at 45%, along with the many abilities that come with it: Black Whip, Danger Sense, Float, Smoke, Fa Jin, and even Transmission, if I deem it necessary."
They all look at each other, worried, as I say, "You 8 will work together to fight me, trying to weaken my Aura to the red..." I point to the large display behind me, "I will not go beyond my safe power output, and I will use every advantage against you. Keep in mind that I have studied each and every one of you, I know your strengths, your weaknesses, I know you from the strengths of your Auras and Semblances, down to the pattern of your breathing."
I cross my arms and walk to one end of the stadium, "Get your weapons and prepare yourselves."
They all hurry away into the locker room to collect their stuff while I release a breath and wipe sweat off my brow, “I’m never going to get used to this job, am I?”
I close my eyes and hang my head down as fall into my thoughts, "This will be hard for them, but they need to know what they're facing; the world is a cruel and dangerous place, and they need to be ready. I saw Shigaraki talking to Cinder, her followers and the leader of the Vale Branch of the White Fang, Blake's ex-boyfriend. If they're working together, then this could end badly for them if... when they get involved.”
I bite my lip as I cross my arms, “Thankfully, Shigaraki has been trusted enough to be given more info and work for them in Torckwick's stead, so he'll get more info on Salem and her followers, that's good, but now he has to be a lot more careful, he has a much more important role now."
I look up and see teams RWBY and JNPR walking out from the other end of the arena, with her weapons and combat outfits, I charge to 45% as I think to my self, "Be careful, Shigaraki."
