Chapter 17: Daily Lives

It has been one week, Izuku is currently drawing up plans in Kaina's home to rescue his captains. He had contacted Dabi and Hitoshi, telling them he was safe but needs to go into hiding for another month or so.


Both of them were glad Izuku was safe and wished him all the best. They are also informed to remain as spies for the time being, and not to make any moves.


Kaina: So what's the plan?


Kaina walks into Izuku's room as she brings him a cup of coffee.


Izuku: I'm still thinking. Tartarus isn't going to be easy to infiltrate.


Kaina: I can give you some advise.


Izuku: What is it.


Kaina: Teleport in.


Izuku: Wow thanks so helpful.


Kaina: No seriously, they hire guards with teleportation quirk to get into Tartarus. There are no doors and the walls are some titanium steel alloys, not even my sniper can dent it.


Izuku: You tried?


Kaina: Many times.


Izuku: Not even going to ask.


Scene change to Dabi


In a span of a week, Dabi has been promoted twice since he joined the Meta Liberation Army. The MLA has been very interested in Dabi's sheer firepower and has made him one of the few lieutenants.


Trumpet: Congrats on your second promotion rookie, you are climbing up fast.


Dabi: All thanks to you sir.


Trumpet: No need for sir business anymore, we are now the same rank.


Dabi: Whatever you say Trumpet.


Both Dabi and Trumpet cheers with their beers as they chug down the bottle.


Trumpet: You know, since we are now the same rank, I'll let you in on a little secret.


Dabi: What is it.


Trumpet: Our original plan was to defeat the Blood Tyrant group as a sign of our revival, but now that they have been defeated by the heroes, they are no longer number 1.


Hearing this insult of the Blood Tyrant didn't sit well with Dabi but he had to endure to since he was still undercover.


Trumpet: We will be attacking the supposedly new number 1 in the underworld for our revival.


Dabi: Who is it?


Trumpet: The league of villains. I heard that All for One is their backing and we all know how powerful that guy is. So if we defeat them, we will be the new number 1, and shall bring upon revolution to Japan.


Dabi took another sip of his beer as he thinks about Izuku. Izuku needs to rescue the other captains first before the Blood Tyrant can rise again, he most likely will not have as much support as before but that can be easily fixed.


The main problem is the other villains groups looking to finish him when Izuku is weak. That can cause a very dangerous stunt in the group's growth and power, especially if it is All for One.


So, the most logical thing is to defeat All for One before the Blood Tyrant makes a return, and it can be done through the MLA.


Dabi: Sounds nice. When is it going to happen.


Trumpet: We don't know yet. ReDestro and Skeptic are planning it for the most part. So when it is finalised, the rest of us lieutenants will know.


Dabi: Hmm alright then let's just sit back and wait.


Scene change to Toga


Toga and Citrus are currently eating lunch in Tartarus. For lunch, they are served a loaf of bread, mash potatoes and a bowl of vegetable stew. It certainly isn't 5 star quality but they will survive off the food.


In a time span of a few days, Toga had gotten use to Tartarus already. She had lived her life on the streets before so life in Tartarus was a cake walk compared to that.


While Citrus was...erm...trying to cope to say the least.


Citrus: I'm actually going mad in here. I need to get out.


Toga: Relax. This place isn't bad at all. There is free food, clean water, a decent living space, what more do you want?


Citrus: Oh I don't know, maybe freedom hmmm.


Toga: We are in the most guarded prison in Japan, there isn't a single shred of that in here.


Citrus: So we need to get out.


Toga: Yeah, so let's wait for Izuku.


Citrus: Like I said, what if he doesn't come?


Toga: And like I said, he will.


Citrus: Where in the flying heaven is this optimism coming from?


Toga: Certainly not from you.


Citrus sighs as Toga eats another bite of mash potatoes.


Toga: These are really good. Better than the grilled dead rats I use to eat on the streets.


Citrus: I don't even want to know.


Toga chuckled as she takes a bite of the vegetables stew. Out of nowhere, another inmate sits beside Toga as another villain came beside Toga. It was a blob of slime with eyes.


Slime: Are you new? I've never seen you around before.


Toga: Yeah. I arrived a few days ago, I'm Toga and that guy there is Citrus.


Slime: You can just call me slime, that's what everyone here calls me anyways. So what are you in for?


Toga: Killed a couple of heroes and now they dropped me off at this 2 star hotel. Would not recommend.


Slime: Wow, that is some mad kill you got there. I just tried to capture a girl.


Citrus: Heh, suits you.


Slime: Hey! I'm not trying to be rude, but you are being a little judgemental, don't you think.


Toga: Yeah Citrus, be nice to our inmate.


Citrus: Tsk.


Slime: We have an hour of recreation every Sunday. There is usually a gambling corner around the cafeteria at that time, you can save up cookies you get to bet in it.


Toga: Cool!


Slime: I haven't won anything yet haha, some other inmates here have been here for way longer than me, so they know the gist around here more. But I do know that there is a ring fight on Fridays. The guards don't really bother to stop it, actually I think they bet who is going to win sometimes.


Toga: Woah, I'm starting to like this place even more, how do I sign up?


Slime: Just talk to Johnny over there and he will hook you up. Be careful though normally the fighters are very tough. Oh yea and the fights are quirkless.


The slime points towards a tall guy in the cafeteria as he explains that the person is Johnny.


Toga: Nice, I'll talk to him later, thanks for the guide slime.


Slime: No problem, if you got any questions, you can ask me.


With that, slime leaves with his plate of food.


Citrus: You are participating aren't you?


Toga: Yup! And you can't stop me.


Citrus: Wasn't planning to. Just don't dishonour the Blood Tyrant's name.


Toga: Don't worry, I will win.


Toga let's out a wicked smile as she stares at Citrus.


Scene change to Izumi


Nezu: You 3 are now part of new UA big 3.


Izumi: Huh?


Previously, there was an announcement on the speakers that called Izumi, Katsuki and Hitoshi to Nezu's office.


The 3 walk there as they wonder what it can be about. And now Nezu drops this bombshell on them.


Hitoshi: What happened to the previous big 3?


Nezu: They sadly passed while doing their hero duties during their work studies.


Of course, Nezu lies to Hitoshi about how the big 3 died to keep the raid a secret. Izumi and Katsuki knows about the truth though.


Izumi: Why are we the big 3? Shouldn't there be more powerful third years?


Nezu: Well sadly, there aren't. You 3 are actually the most powerful right now.


Katuski: HA! Finally the recognition of number 1!


Nezu: Katsuki, you are 3rd.


Katuski: ...


Hitoshi: HAHAHAHA!


Hitoshi burst out in laughter seeing Katsuki's pride instantly being crushed by Nezu. Izumi couldn't hold it and chuckled a little too.


Nezu: Hitoshi is 2nd and Izumi here is 1st. Now as the new big 3, the plans for you all have changed. You will be receiving special training from what remains of our staff and some special teachers who are coming in soon. So basically, you will be treated as 3rd years.


Hitoshi: Will we graduate sooner?


Nezu: No, you will still be graduating with the rest of your class.


Izumi: So when does training start?


Suddenly the door burst open as a unidentified flying yellow object came speeding through the air, hitting Katuski square in the face.


Katuski got knocked down as the the flying object kept bouncing around the room, knocking both Izumi and Hitoshi down split seconds after.


After the 3 has been knocked down, the flying object finally stopped as it lands on the ground.


Nezu: Meet your new instructor, Gran Torino.


GT: Alright maggots, get your ass back up, we will be training your speed first since you are all slow.


The 3 begrudgingly gets up as he follows Gran Torino.


They arrive at an empty field as Gran Torino stops.


GT: Now for warm up, let's get you to sprint 400m in 50 second, no quirks allowed. Now go!


The 3 immediately starts running as instructed with Hitoshi taking the lead, finishing the run in 42 seconds. Izumi finished in 44 seconds and Katuski finished in 51 seconds due to the heavy metal arm.


GT: Blonde boy, you failed, run 10km as punishment. The other 2, you are going to try to dodge my punches and kicks. There is no walls around here so you are at an advantage, but don't underestimate me.


Without a warning, Gran Torino begins to fly at fast speeds at Izumi, Izumi barely dodges the punch as Gran Torino U-turns to Hitoshi as he gets punched. This lasted for a solid hour with Katuski joining this hell some time later.


Even with Izumi's master of One for All, she isn't having a good time dealing with Gran Torino. We don't even have to mention Katuski at this point, power ain't going to do shit if you can't land a hit. Hitoshi is trying to cope, key word being trying.


GT: If this is the next generation of heroes, I rather join Nana. You did alright for today, tomorrow is going to be twice the training today, so go rest up.


With that, the 3 went back to the dorms as Gran Torino sighs. He now sees the flaw with how the One for All quirk is like, even if there is one bad egg in the chain, it will ruin the descendants.


Nezu: They didn't do that bad considering they are still first years.


Nezu pops out of nowhere as Gran Torino almost had a heart attack.


GT: And the first years you are referring to are the 3 strongest in this school. Yeah, heroes are doomed.


Nezu: Give them a little time, and they will grow. Also don't hold back please, I can tell you aren't going serious.


GT: I don't want back pain this early into the game, I'll go all out when they become better.


Nezu: Alright then, good luck.
