Despite the recent attack by the villains in the USJ, we returned to the facilities again to continue with our training, as we were supposed to do. This time, the security was kept to the maximum to avoid other similar unpleasant interruptions...

All of the class 1-A were wearing their hero costumes as well as the previous day, ready for the practice and waiting for our teachers to start the training.

I tilted my head up a bit and brought my hands to my neck to straighten the tie of my hero uniform, which was a little loose. I was so concentrated on not apply too much force and choke myself stupidly that wasn't paying much attention to my surroundings while doing it, though a sudden metal sound and a soft growl near me made me stop.

'Oh, man.'

I was convinced that I didn't need many clues, I was already aware of who was the person behind me. Not because I saw him before, but because that hot-headed boy was always around. And I couldn't help but find it quite funny and distressing at the same time, like, he was everywhere!

But the fact that I could find him even under my shoes had to be coincidence, for sure...

Right?

Although, actually, there was something in my head that was bothering me with no end, even if I promised myself I would stop overthinking: I wasn't really sure about what was going through Katsuki's head every time he had to deal with my presence. But I had been worrying about that for so long, that now I started to prefer to let it be and focus on my duty as a hero in training, as well as treating him the same as any other of my classmates.

Yeah, I know that by what I've just said before, it doesn't show pretty well that I'm putting that kind of decisions into practice, but I promise this time is true!

Believe me!

However, despite of that, the human being is always curious: I wanted to confirm my suspicions.

Hehe.

So... I dared to turn my head around a bit with agonizing slowness, not wanting to catch his attention, only to find the boy's crimson orbs stuck in my figure, staring at me without blinking at all.

I seriously didn't know whether to laugh, or feel afraid, to be honest.

"*Snort* but what the hell, bro..." I mumbled with a hint of fear, he looked like a maniac. Although not quietly enough for him to not to hear me.

"The fuck are you laughing at, shitty rat!?"

"A-Ah! N-N-Nothing!" I shook my hands in denial and quickly turned my head straightforward again, sensing how some sweat drops were running down my forehead and hoping the walking-grenade wouldn't answer back in his typical wild style.

'Damn. Chill, Katsuki...' I thought while wiping away my sweat.

Fortunately, the class was about to start and it didn't give rise to any possible fight.

"Well, that happened, but class is class!" Thirteen said in front of all of his surprised students, obviously amazed about the fact that the teacher was giving the class despite his injuries. "So, let's begin the Rescue Training!"

"Can you really move, Thirteen sensei?" Asked a concerned Ochako while watching the pro hero move without apparent difficulty.

"My back hurts a bit, but it's nothing compared to Aizawa." He replied before pointing to our homeroom teacher.

Our gazes landed now on the black-haired man, and a quick chill ran through our entire body, feeling that he should have been resting instead of being there. The professor was all bandaged from head to toe.

Literally.

"But... Aizawa sensei, can you really see...?" I asked, instantly sensing how the man was killing me with what I supposed it was his 'are you serious' look at the moment I blurted those words out from my mouth, because he also had his eyes covered by bandages. But my innocent and confused expression made him decide that it was best to ignore my dumb question and count to ten... or maybe to more.

Our teacher inhaled and exhaled tiredly. "We're ready to begin, class. Let's start already, we're wasting time." He commanded before turning his body to go down the stairs to reach the place our training was going to be held.

"Aizawa sensei!" Suddenly called Izuku, making the man stop and turn his head a bit to hear the boy better. "All Might is supposed to meet us as well... Where is he?"

'Oh.' My eyes widened in realization, it was true that All Might also had to be there, but strangely, he was nowhere to be seen.

"I don't know." Aizawa answered harshly. "Forget about him." The man turned his body again and continued walking, as if no one had asked him about the number one hero.

Izuku and I looked at each other with confusion and shrugged, not knowing what was going on.

'Did something happen between those two?'

- - - - -

"Let's start with the Rescue Training!" Repeated the Space Hero after we reached a big rift located in the Mountain Zone. "There'll be three students at the bottom of the chasm: one of them will be unconscious, the other will have an injured leg, and the last will be very worried." He quickly explained.

Denki and Eijirou approached the edge with curiosity. "WHOAA!!" They exclaimed at the unison.

"WHAT HEIGHT!!"

"HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED TO GET THERE!?"

The corner of my mouth slid upwards in enthusiasm, as well as my eyes began to shine. "This training seems so great...!" I mumbled while bouncing, already filled with determination, but even more after hearing my classmates' reactions.

Ochako, who was beside me, couldn't help but giggle. "I see that you're very excited, (l/n)!" She commented.

"It's just that it looks so cool!" I answered with my red gloved fists clenched in front of my chest, my smile never fading from my face. "I really want to experience a rescue! I want to be someone's savior!"

The girl did the same as me. "Haha, I'm excited, to-!"

*WOUSH*

"Wha-"

"KIRISHIMA!! KAMINARI!! WHAT ARE YOU SAYING!?" Tenya suddenly shouted. He had just run between the brunette and me, making a gust of wind in the process. The boy kneeled down near the edge and poked his head out. "ARE YOU OK!? DON'T WORRY, WE WILL SAVE YOU!!"

Ochako's face and mine were priceless; we stared at the bluish-haired male with startled expressions, little by little trying hard to hold our laughter when we realized something.

"U-Uh... There's nobody down there yet, right, (l-l/n)...?"

"E-Everybody is still here..."

"So... He's talking t-to..."

"... The rocks?"

"..."

Both of us brought a hand to our mouths, but we made the mistake of looking at each other's face: our cheeks were red and we had tears in the corner of our eyes. "PPFFHAHAHAHA!!"

'Why is he always so into his role? Haha!'

Ochako and I weren't actually laughing at Tenya, it was just that he always took his role so seriously and was so exaggerated while acting that sometimes it even looked surreal.

"Please, come here! I'm going to choose who will be the injured students, and the ones who will rescue them!" Thirteen sensei said while raising his chubby index finger in attempting to catch our attentions. "So, the injured will be..."

'I hope I'm not going to be the injured one, haha...' It was a really good moment to take a new look at my luck history, which I realized it was still full of bad luck.

Cool.

'M-Meh, even if I'm an unlucky shit, no one can take my strong determination awa-!'

"... Midoriya, Iida and (l/n)!"

'Oh, well, fuck. There goes my determination.'

- - - - -

After the teacher named us, we went down to the bottom of the rift and waited for the still unknown saviors to come to the rescue.

I had the most displeased face of the group. It's true that I'm one of those people who don't protest when some authority tells them they have to do something. But, boy, I really wanted to be the one who would save the injured ones and not the other way around. I was too upset with life right now.

"We must do our best to be injured!" Tenya exclaimed with the same excitement I had just left behind.

"Yay..." I said unenthusiastically.

"W-We're just pretending!" Reminded Izuku, not knowing if the bluish-haired boy would actually hurt himself to make it more real. "Why don't we talk about the roles?" He suggested. "Who's gonna be the unconsciou-?"

"Definitely, me." I answered quickly with my hand raised in attempting to make them know I would totally take that role before throwing myself to the ground and closed my eyes. "Tell me when the training is over."

Izuku watched how ungracefully my body collided with the cold stone, realizing instantly what my problem was. "Uuh... Alright... And the very worrie-?"

"Iida was playing that role even before Thirteen sensei named him."

The green-eyed boy looked at me again, not believing I was actually behaving like some stubborn kid. "Ehm... Okay? Mmm... It seems I'll be the one with the injured leg."

"Heh, you actually hurt yourself a lot, so it fits you."

"(F-F/n)!" He gasped.

"What?"

"(L/N)!! BUT WHAT KIND OF BEHAVIOR IS THAT!? THIS ISN'T HOW A HERO SHOULD TREAT OTHERS!! I THOUGHT YOU WANTED TO BECOME ONE!?" Tenya yelled. "THIS IS A SERIOUS TRAINING AND YOU MUST BE GIVING YOUR ALL, TOO!!"

I rolled my eyes when I heard Tenya's exaggerated words. 'Oh, my God.' I facepalmed.

After a few seconds of internal debate, I let out a soft groan and sat up, not showing too much motivation in that action. I rested my arms on my knees and left my eyes half opened. "I chose to be the unconscious person because I'm the one with more possibilities to faint. Don't you remember our first training with All Might? I'm putting effort on this, too. See?" I said while pointing at myself with my thumbs, obviously feeling bothered because of their doubts about the way I was collaborating. "And now, if you excuse me..." My voice was fading away as I was lying down again and returned to the same position.

"Ow, c'mon! Don't be like that, (f/n)! This may not be the best part, but someone has to play this role, too..."

"I know, Izuku..." I sighed tiredly. "Can we continue?"

"YOU WON'T BE A SUCCESSFUL HERO IF YOU DON'T PUT YOURSELF IN THE OTHER PERSON'S SHOES, (L/N)!! YOU HAVE TO STAND UP AND EMBRACE WITH DETERMINATION THE DUTY OUR SENSEI HAS ENTRUSTED US!!"

Tenya's high voice made me cringe. "Wow, chill. I'm playing my role already."

"(F/n), please, think that our friends are expecting us to cooperate as well!" Insisted Izuku.

"And I am cooperating!"

"STOP MAKING THINGS HARDER!!"

"BUT WHAT AM I DOING!?"

"YOU MUST SHOW MORE ENTHUSIASM IN YOUR MISSION, (L/N)!!"

"I'M FUCKING UNCONSCIOUS!!"

"THAT'S NOT A HERO'S TONGUE EITHER, MISSY!!"

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!"

I sat up abruptly and looked straight at the two males as if I were some kind of monster; my breathing was a little shaken and my eyes were wide open. There was a brief of silence, my desperate scream made them gasp and shut their mouths, not expecting my reaction at all.

When I calmed down and noticed their startled expressions, a feeling of guilt came over me. Honestly, it was my fault for not behaving like a reasonable person since the first moment. "Ah, fuc- I mean, dam- I mean, I'm s-sorry..." I apologized quietly while shaking my head. "I've acted like some spoiled kid, I'm really sorry..." I wrapped my arms around my legs and turned my head down, resting it on my knees. I felt truly ashamed and also felt the need of hiding my face.

Izuku and Tenya sighed in relax, that conversation was a bit tense after all. They sent me an apologetic smile and approached my figure, making me turn my head up when I heard their footsteps.

"It's okay, (f/n), we're sorry, too." Said my broccoli-head after kneeling down in front of me.

The other boy rubbed the back of his head. "You were actually playing your role quite well, (l/n). We were us the ones who weren't cooperating..." Tenya admitted. "CAN WE CALL OURSELVES 'HEROES', MIDORIY-"

"PLEASE, IIDA, STOP YELLING!!" Izuku and I exclaimed at the unison.

"OKAY!! I'LL SHOUT LESS FROM NOW ON!!"

We stared at each other for a few seconds and couldn't help but burst into laughter. We couldn't believe that we actually went that far to start yelling in the middle of a trial.

Izuku stood up and raised his clenched fist. "Alright, (f/n), Iida... Let's be the best injure-!"

"WAIT!! WHY DO I HAVE TO SAVE DEKU!?"

'What.'

Suddenly, we heard that characteristic melodic sound also known as Katsuki Bakugou's voice from the top of the rift, interrupting my friend.

Note the sarcasm.

"So, Kacchan is one of the saviors." Izuku commented.

'Fuck.' My face was priceless. 'There are a lot of students and it has to be him... Goddammit.' I complained internally. I really hoped that things wouldn't get more violent than I thought they could, since he had to save his beloved Deku and his beloved rat.

Yup, what a megamix of feelings he has to be suffering right now.

"The trial has just started! Go to your positions!" Tenya commanded.

I lay down once more and Izuku sat down beside me, since he was the one with the injured leg. The other boy turned his head up and inhaled heavily, arching his back to take as much air as he could and making me remember something funny in the process.

'I know Tenya's playing his role right now, but the fact that he looks like the 'inhaling seagull' meme is too much for me.' I thought with amusement and trying to hold my laughter. 'Oh, dear Lord. Stop, (f/n).'

"HELP US!! PLEASE!!" The bluish-haired male shouted finally.

One of the rescuers approached the edge of the rift and after using our eyes' maximum focus, we noticed it was Shouto. I knew I couldn't open them, I was unconscious after all... But the only sight of the heterochromatic-eyed-boy was enough for me to make me forget about that other problematic rescuer and smile like an idiot, something that Shouto noticed and answered back at me with one of his tiny ones.

'How handsome!'

The boy turned his head back to his teammates and said something I couldn't hear at all, since we were in the deep chasm. 'What is he saying? I don't get to read his lip-'

"WHAT!? YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE (L/N) FIRST, HALF-AND-HALF BASTARD!! I AM GOING TO SAVE (L/N)!!" Katsuki yelled all of a sudden.

I jumped in shock at the moment those words reached my ears. 'W-W-What the fuck!?' My face was increasing its heat by seconds until my cheeks were a deep shade of red, still trying not to believe that Katsuki actually blurted that out in front of our classmates and teachers. 'What the fuck is he saying!?' Thought Tomato-(f/n), automatically facepalming.

"It seems like Kacchan and Todoroki are fighting to save you, (f/n)." Commented Izuku between laughs.

"A-And why is that!? It's so embarrassing!" I said all flustered. "This can't be true, right!?"

Not much for my comfort, they continued arguing for a few more seconds, making my blush more intense if possible. None of us could hear Shouto's responses, only Katsuki's screams, causing me to want more and more to crawl into a hole and die there. He looked very obsessed with saving me... and Shouto, too. 'Oh, God...'

"I SAID I AM THE ONE WHO'S GOING DOWN THERE!!"

"*Inaudible Shouto's answer*."

"ARE YOU DEAF!? STOP DECIDING ON YOUR OWN!! YOU'RE NOT GOING TO SAVE HER!!"

"*Another inaudible Shouto's answer*."

"W-WHO'S THE ONE PLAYING!? I KNOW YOUR TRUE INTENTIONS, BASTARD!!"

"*Last inaudible Shouto's answer*."

Believe me when I say that I preferred to summon my scythe and cut my head off at that moment rather than continue listening to them. They were fucking fighting because they wanted to save me... Can I die already, please?

"STOP, YOU TWO!!" Momo shouted desperately, making them shut their mouths.

Beautiful silence, music to my ears.

'Thank you very much, Mama Momo.' I thought with utter relief. The black-haired girl was scolding them for not focusing on the training and acting that way, something I didn't know how to thank her after all of this ended.

Then, she approached the edge and kneeled down, poking her head out. "Please, keep calm! We will go to you right away!" The girl reassured us, the first thing a hero should do and those two totally forgot...

So, that's how thanks to Momo, we could continue the Rescue Training: Fumikage, much to Katsuki and Shouto disappointment, was the one who went down the chasm and used Dark Shadow to push the stretcher I was in up. Then, up there, Momo helped me to stand up and also to clean my clothes a bit.

"You're amazing at rescuing people, Yaoyorozu!" I praised her. "Well, you're amazing at everything practically."

Momo blushed at my words and shook her head. "Oh! Thank you, (l/n)! But I think you're overestimating me."

"No, no, you also made Bakugou and Todoroki shut their mouths before I could die of embarrassment down there." I confessed, making the girl sigh and nod in agreement, remembering the scene they were making. "You're my hero, Mama Momo." I murmured, but not quietly enough for her to not to hear me.

"Mama Momo?" She repeated in confusion, somehow sensing that she shouldn't have heard that.

'Oh, shit! I've blurted something weird from my thoughts out!'

"A-Aaah! I just said: where those troublemakers could be!?" I asked while trying not to stutter.

The girl turned her body around and pointed at them with her index finger. "They're with the pulley."

"Pppfftthahaha! Really!?" I tilted my head to my side and my gaze landed on their figures. 'Oh, my God. Someone take a camera, please.' I thought when I saw how concentrated they looked.

Katsuki and Shouto, two boys with amazing quirks that can be used for fighting as well as for rescuing, were using a simple pulley to do so.

"They've caused that mess and now they've ended like this..." I snorted.

Momo giggled at my comment. "At least they're working together."

The fact that those two were so close to each other and cooperating to save me first, was enough for me to forget the embarrassing situation they had created before and instead of feeling ashamed, a new sensation of flattering filled my body. Two strong boys were fighting for this girl... And this girl is also strong, but she had to play the unconscious role.

'I think it's time for a little payback.' I smirked with amusement as a bright idea illuminated my head.

I decided to approach them, making the males look up at me when they heard footsteps coming their way. I knew they knew I heard their argument, and that's why my next move was going to be so funny.

At least for me.

"Thank you for putting so much effort on my rescue, Bakugou, Todoroki! It's so great that both of you got to save me first at the same time!" I exclaimed with the cutest face I'd rehearsed in front of my bath's mirror and putting emphasis in some words. My smile was almost shining; I could totally end a war with it.

Well, maybe I'm a bit exaggerated, but you know what I mean.

Katsuki and Shouto jumped when they heard me, their expressions were absolutely priceless: their eyes were wide open and their mouths were half agape.

"I-It's always a pleasure, (l/n)." The heterochromatic-eyed-boy managed to answer, a tiny blush on his cheeks.

"S-SHUT UP, HALF-AND-HALF BASTARD!! AND GET LOST ALREADY, FILTHY RAT!!" Exclaimed the walking-grenade rudely, he was a total blushing mess.

Some laughter could be heard from our classmates' direction, who couldn't hold it anymore when they realized my true intentions when I thanked them in that way.

"There is no need to keep fighting, there you have your cutie, safe and sound..." Hanta commented with sarcasm.

"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU, PLAIN FACE!!"

"To think they've argued that much to end up with the pulley..." Denki snorted.

"SHUT UP, EEL!! I'LL KILL YOU, TOO!!"

I couldn't hold it anymore and burst into laughter along with our classmates.

'Eat that.'

Even if Shouto looked calm, the sweat drops on his forehead were enough for me to know he felt like Katsuki on the inside.

I'm a bitch sometimes.
