Chapter 17: The Hunt is on (3)
I looked on in amusement at Team 1 from the top of a building. That being Midoiya, Ochaco, Tenya, Kaminari, Jiro, Toru, and Momo. They were currently doing their best to mitigate the damage that Allmight caused when we went with Plan D. Rescuing any surviving robots from the wreckage and guiding the uninjured to a relief center. Some were even using what I taught them.
It was nice to see that my classes were taking effect.
But now was the time to make their lives a living hell.
I made my way down the building I was in, taking my time as they didn't know what they were waiting to happen. By the time I got to the street, the number of robots had dwindled down to a trickle. I also decided to play with their minds a bit. So when I got close, I activated a [Stealth-boy] and drew my [10mm Pistol+] loaded with rubber rounds.
.
As Team 1 was finishing up with the robots 'injuries', they heard a simple whistle that caught their attention. It was eerie without a noticeable pattern. It came from nowhere and everywhere at once. Jiro even had a hard time trying to find out where it came from.
Suddenly, one of the rescued robots dropped, its mechanical eyes lightless. The students were surprised and huddled around in a circle formation after another one dropped. The whistle continued as more and more robots dropped. Finally, Kaminari noticed a shimmer moving around at the corner of his vision.
Panicking, Kaminari shot lightning at the shimmer. The lightning struck what was there and as if magic, I appeared. With a light cough, I brushed myself off and made a show of it.
.
"Good job, Kaminari," I spoke as I dusted my coat off. "Even though you panicked and attacked out of fear, you managed to spot me."
Kaminari: "Thanks..."
Toru: "How did you do that?! Disappearing is my thing!"
Midoriya: "Must be some type of technology!"
"Good guess!" I said as I reloaded. "But guessing isn't enough to defeat me."
Momo: "Everyone, close your eyes!" Momo shouted as she released several Flashbangs.
.
I, being the good teacher I am, just shot them out of the air. Before admonishing the poor girl who looked on in stupidity.
.
"Good try, Momo. But next time, don't announce your plan like that," I admonished her.
Tenya: "If tricks don't work, how about this?! 'Maximum Speed'!"
.
Tenya then sped at me as fast as he could using his ultimate move. While he was faster than what I could see, his moves were still too linear. He moved left and right confusing my sight but the roar of his engines gave away his position. I ducked and shot my leg out, kicking his pivot foot out from under him. His kick missed me and he ended up doing a twirl while he spun too fast for him to counteract. When he landed on the ground, I punted him in the chest.
As he tumbled away, Midoriya appeared on my right and swung a left straight at my head. I leaned my head forward to dodge the punch and he followed it up with a right hook. Before I could react when he over-extended his hook, Jiro used her quirk to disturb the ground beneath my feet. I stumbled but caught myself until I got smacked in the chest by a nude Toru. Before I could strike out at the vague outline my helmet gave me due to its in-built heartbeat sensor, Momo came in with a bo-staff. With one good smack, she sent my helmet flying off my head. And while I was focused on Toru and Momo, Ochaco got behind me and placed her hands on my back, causing me to float off the ground.
.
They started to cheer as I floated too high off the ground to be of any use other than my pistol. I sighed and holstered my pistol. Crossing my arms against my chest, I watched on as they got Momo to produce handcuffs and pulled me to the ground. Once I was handcuffed and stripped of my weapons and communicator, they began to grill me for information.
It was... cute.
Their questioning wasn't far from just asking me nicely. I couldn't help but laugh at their first try doing it. It didn't help when they pouted and had sad looks.
.
"Okay, okay, this is just ridiculous," I laughed. "You guys don't even know the first thing about grilling for information."
Midoriya: "We're Heroes..." Midoriya said as if that made all the difference.
"Yes, yes." I chuckled " 'Heroes'."
Jiro: "What are we supposed to do then?"
"Interrogate me," I said. "Make me fear you enough to spill what you need to know."
.
I could tell that none of them were eager to try. So I just sighed.
.
"To get this over with, I will tell you what you need to know." I sighed. "City Block D, East end, rec. center. Room 301. Code 77-59-01."
Toru: "What the heck does that mean?!"
Kaminari: "I'm confused."
Momo: "It could be where they're keeping Todoroki and the others." Momo speculated.
Ochaco: "Or where Prinicple Nezu might be!" Ochaco shouted.
Midoriya: "Either way, we need to be careful." Midoriya stated
.
They all nodded their heads. After a bit, they decided to take me with them since they had nowhere to keep me or jail me. So they marched me toward where I said. Keeping an eye out in case there were any roadblocks or traps.
.
Ten minutes later, we made it to the Recreation Center. Midoriya, the best-minded of the group, had me sit outside. Tied to a lamppost as they entered inside.
.
Now, they used a simple rope to tie me to the post. I could easily tear through the rope and ambush them from the back. But they fought hard to take me down. If you call it that.
So, I decided to be a bit of an ass and tore through the ropes holding me then picked the handcuffs that still were on my wrists. I sighed as I messaged my wrists, picking up my helmet afterward that they had at least had the decency to bring with them.
As I got up, I couldn't help but notice that Aizawa skulking nearby. Eyeing me with a smirk on his face. I knew that smirk. He wasn't gonna let me live this one down.
I sighed and looked at my [Pip-boy]. The test still had thirty minutes until it was over. So far, from what I could tell, Team 1 was the only one to pass so far. Since I didn't have my communicator, I couldn't radio in my capture.
It wasn't long until Team 1 came back with the captured. I just stood there as they came out with a slight smile on my face. Bakugo, having seen me as soon as he came out, launched an attack at me. I frowned, Bakugo should have known that I was captured. And from the looks of the rest, they knew.
Not taking his shit, I just backhanded him away. I felt something crack with the hit as he was thrown away.
.
Kirishima: "That was just harsh..."
.
The others just nodded and agreed silently. Just as I was about to say something, a buzzer went off. Signaling the end of the exam. I sighed as Bakugo was just about to charge at me again but caught on to the buzzer.
.
"Well, that sounded the end of the exam," I explained as the students gathered around. "Seeing that we still have thirty minutes left until the end, that can only mean that the ringleaders; namely Nezu and I; were captured."
"Which was what happened," Aziawa stated as he appeared, scaring the students. "Nezu was captured by the remaining students."
"Now then, you kids go hit the showers. You reek of sweat." I said as they all started to sniff themselves. A few did recoil at their smell. "While you kids do that, we will convene with the others to discuss your scores. Dismissed."
.
Aziawa and I watched as they started to make their way out of the mock city. We did the same as soon as the rest of the teachers convened. We then made our way to the school, bypassing the students by using a hidden tram system underneath the city. Ah the joys of being a teacher.
.
Ten minutes later, we all were seated in the conference room to discuss the exam. Allmight had shrunk down into his skinny form. Aizawa had gotten himself coffee along with Midnight who got tea. The rest of us got refreshments as well. I, having pulled out a [Nuka-Cola], started us off after the go-ahead from Nezu.
.
"I'll say this now, they did well. Except for a few others." I started as they all nodded their heads. "Team 1; formed by Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Ida, Denki Kaminari, Kyoka Jiro, Toru Hagakure, and Momo Yaoyorozu; excelled in how they handled the exam. Midoriya and Uraraka had the insight to ask about any rumors. Tenya, Jiro, and Yaoyorozu had the level-headedness to plan. While Kaminari and Kagakure managed to follow said plan. This showing in the fact they had managed to capture me, Snipe, and Power Loader, while rescuing civilians."
Nezu: "I agree." Nezu spoke up once I finished speaking. "While Team 4; consisting of Yuga Aoyama, Mina Ashido, Tsuyu Asui, Mashirao Ojiro, and Mezo Shoji; managed to infiltrate and capture me as well. Aoyama, Ashido, and Asui formulated a plan. And thanks to Ojiro and Shoji, the plan was pulled off well."
Present Mic: "The two of Team 3, Rikido Sato and Koji Koda, did well in facing off against me." Mic said, "But unfortunately, their downfall was that they were overpowered by my quirk. They showed good cooperation and judgemental skills."
.
The discussion went as followed. Us giving them compliments and praises. Shining a good light on each of the students' talents. Once all the students were praised, we got down to the nitty-gritty.
.
"Now then," I said as we got done with the first part, "There were far too many things that need our attention. First off, with Team 1, they panicked when they first came into contact with a villain. Allowing for casualties to happen and me to escape with a hostage." They all nodded their heads. "And as for those captured, they just accepted their defeat without trying to escape."
.
This was something that we had agreed on beforehand. To give the students a chance at bringing up their scores. So far, those caught didn't realize that they could get out just by thinking. I even did Sero a favor by showing him the combination when I threw him into the cell.
.
Ectoplasm: "While I agree that they could have done better," Ectoplasm spoke up, "But having them put on the spot like that..."
"I understand your view on this," I said as I saw where he was coming from. "But this was for the best. Not every villain they face would capture them. It's better for them to understand this in a simulated environment. Would you rather they learn that in a real battle?"
.
He didn't say anything as he understood, they all did. Fighting villains was never a safe bet. Being injured or kill; they understood the risk.
.
"Anyway," I said breaking up their depressing thoughts. "As for those captured, I say we grade them based on their performance. Of the five captured, only two didn't have the chance to show off their skills. That being Sero and Mineta. Kirishima, Bakugo, and Shoto all have demonstrated their skills. Although it was mainly combat."
.
After that, we discussed the students' overall scores. Sero and Mineta are already on the chopping block for failing spectacularly. Sero having been captured by me and Mineta having been caught by Midnight. I reiterate how easy it was for me to catch one of them and get away. Midnight did the same and told us how she captured Mineta.
.
I couldn't help but sigh. It seems that this was gonna be a long day.
