-x- Midoriya's POV -x-

I brushed off my pants, adjusting my gloves as we made it outside. Taking a deep breath, I squeezed my eyes shut. I felt as my mind became like static, escaping from me as my thoughts drifted away.

My body buzzed with a warm energy, eyes giving off a vibrant glow. "Wasn't that great?!" I giggled.

"Oh, yeah, Kyō~Kun! It was fantastic!" Toga gushed, shifting happily back and forth.

Dabi gave a simple nod as he stuffed his hands into his pockets, leading us to begin our trek back to the base.

I frowned for a moment, a heavy weight settling on the back of my mind. However, I quickly brushed it off, curling my lips into a grin.

At our arrival, I took a deep breath, softly knocking on the door. After a series of metallic clicks, Shigaraki cracked open the door, stepping aside so we could enter. As we wandered in, the door slammed behind us, darkening the room.

"So?" Shigaraki rasped, cocking his head to the side.

Clapping, I smiled. "It went great, Shiga~Kun!"

"How many casualties?" he questioned.

Counting my fingers, I glanced upwards. "Let's see... We were forced to clear every floor, along with the guys in the back... But most of the ones at the top and all on the sides and front were left unharmed... So...," I connected eyes with Shigaraki, "Thirty-seven."

He grinned, "And how many were yours?"

Biting my lip, I scratched the back of my neck. "None. I had Toga and Dabi take care of them."

He sighed, shrugging. "Alright. Not exactly the result I was hoping for, but you did good, kid. Maybe next time you'll get some action of your own."
Perking up, I grinned. "Oh, I did fight! Only with the main boss though. I guess I dealt with some of the grunts, but no casualties by my hand."

"Oh, so you dealt with the boss...," he smirked, "Great!"

A scoff came from the back, causing my head to whip around to the source. My eyes landed on Muscular, who was leaning up against the wall, arms crossed. "There is absolutely no way that scrawny kid took care of him. Although his lackeys are pathetic, he's nothing to laugh at."

"Oh, no, Kyō~Kun took care of him! Really, both me and Dabi watched it!" She turned to Dabi, elbowing him. "Right, Dabi~Kun?"

He nodded, sighing.

Muscular's eyes narrowed towards me before his lips spread into a wide grin. "Alright. If Dabi says so, I guess I can't deny it. However..."

The large man lunged towards me, his quirk activating in seconds. I rolled my eyes as I jumped to the side, causing him to slam into the wall. A groan escaped his lips as he smacked into the cement, spinning around to meet my eyes.

I tilted my head to the side, smirking. "Something wrong, Muscular?" I teased.

He growled, reaching his arms out to attack again. Shigaraki and Dabi sighed, while Toga jumped up and down, pumping her fist in the air.

"Go, Kyō~Kun! Yaaaaa!~" she cheered.

Muscular readied his fist, clenching it as muscles bulged from his arm. He charged towards me, giving me little time to react. However, I drifted out of the way just as he was about to pummel me, once again causing him to slip.

With a roar, he jumped towards me again, and fuzz began building up in my brain. Rage seeped through my soul as I panted, a splitting headache pounding through my skull. I felt as if something snapped inside me as I saw red.

-x- Third Person POV -x-

Midoriya stared down, wisps of green hanging over his eyes. He glanced up, a radiant energy coming from them as he stared, a wild smile on his lips.

He cocked his head to the side before lunging towards the oncoming man, jumping up at the last second to land on his back.

Muscular grunted as he reached to throw the boy off, but Midoriya began to rapidly rip at his bulging muscles, tearing them as he went out.

The large man cried out, a pained look on his face as he threw the boy to the side. Seemingly unfazed, Midoriya lunged towards Muscular as he stood, hanging over.

Muscular glanced up as the boy's fist connected with his face, giving a split second for the man's eyes to be squeezed shut. He stumbled backwards, with Midoriya taking the opportunity to do a familiar maneuver.

Midoriya forcefully slammed into the man's back, knocking him to the ground. As he did with the boss, he pinned Muscular's arm behind his back, rendering the man immobile.

The boy panted, sweat dripping down his face as he grinned. He leaned down, whispering in the man's ear. "So, how'd I do?"

Muscular groaned as Midoriya hopped off, brushing off his hands with a confident grin.

-x- Midoriya's POV -x-

I felt my mind come back to me as I glanced around, only to notice a groaning Muscular on the floor, along with several villains gawking at me. Sheepishly grinning, I shuffled towards the back of the room.

"What a performance!" Compress shouted, clapping his hands together cheerfully.

Toga shot me a wide grin, her cheeks tinted pink.

The other villains mostly blinked awkwardly at me, until a familiar voice echoed from the TV.

"Well done, Izuku Midoriya. Or, as Toga called you, Kyō. That wouldn't happen to be your chosen name, would it?"

I grinned, giggling. "Well, I was told I could pick a new name, so I decided on that! Well," I corrected, glancing off to the side, "That'd be my villain name. I chose the alias 'Ketsu Shōki' as a real name."

"Well," he began, "You've more than earned the right to call yourself those names. Welcome to the League, Kyō."
