➤( CHAPTER 010 ! )
"declaration of war"

CLASS HAD FINALLY ENDED and Shousuke was just about to go out, but was stopped by a crod of students blocking glass 1as door way. "Uhmm. . . . Why the heck are you all here!?" Uraraka questioned the crowd.

"Do you students have some sort of business with our class?" Iida asked "They are crowding the exit! What are they all here for?" Mineta piped in.

"They're scoping out the competition, what a bunch of retards." Bakugo spoke while walking past his classmate. "They wanna see the gang who came through the villain ambush." He added, facing the students that hero at their front door.

"At least now you know what a future Pro-Hero looks like. It's pointless to try, so why don't you just move it, ya mob!" He spat at them, making Midoriya, Uraraka, and Iida slightly freak out while Shousuke had a sweat rolling down his face.

"Do go calling people you don't know a "Mob" right off the bat!!" Iida told the messy-haired boy.

"So this is class 1A. I came to see what you kids were made of, true, but I didn't think that you'd be arrogant. Is everyone in the Hero course delusional or is it just you."

A boy spoke from the crowd, He squeezed his way through to see the rest of the class. Midoriya, Mineta, Uraraka, and Iida shook their head vigorously, while Shousuke just pointed to Bakugo which irritated him even more.

Bakugo groaned he was about to talk but was interrupted by the same messy purpled haired boy.

"How sad to come here and find a bunch of egomaniacs. I wanted to be in the Hero course, but like many others, I was forced to choose a different track, such a life." The purpled-haired added making Bakugo scoff.

"There are lots of kids who wind up in the general education department or other departments because they failed the Heroics one. Did you know that?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"I didn't cut it the first time, but I have another chance. If any of us do well in the sports festival. Based on the results of the sports festival people can be even reviewed to be transferred to the Hero course and even the reverse is also a possible outcome." He started making Midoriya tense up. "Scoping out the competition? If nothing else, a general Ed kid like me is thinking."

"Hey, why don't I try pulling the rug out from under those Hero course kids while they're on their high Horses? Consider this a, DECLARATION OF WAR."

Bakugo and the messy purpled haired boy stared at each other making the atmosphere around them tense.

"Hey, you!" Another voice called out from the crowd. "I'm from Class B!! I heard that you knocked around with some villains or whatsoever I came here to hear it direct." The person shouted then made their way to the front. "I don't want to hear from some snot-nose punk!!" He shouted making the color from Iida, Midoriya, and Uraraka's face drain.

He then pointed his finger over to Shousuke who looked back at him in confusion. "I heard that you fought a villain one-on-one!! For a villain that was able to injure you and do some damage to your internal organs you sure look fine so, don't embarrass us during the main event, you hear me!!" He shouted making Shousuke sigh.

He then started walking to the front door with Bakugo trailing from behind.

"Wait for a second Guy what are you going to do!? Now we're gonna get hatters all up in our Grill!!" Kirishima Shouted worriedly.

"It doesn't matter." Bakugo sneered facing forwards but moved his gaze to the rest of the glass. "None of that matters, Once you're at the top." He stated.

The students that were at the front door started glowing purple making them look at each other in confusion, but suddenly they were all pushed to the side making them even more confused.

Shousuke then stepped out of the classroom with his body glowing purple and started heading to the exit of the building.

THIRD PERSON

THERE WAS A KNOCK ON THE DOOR OF A LARGE JAPANESE-THEMED HOUSE, IT WAS SHOTO. The young Todoroki was surprised by it. If it wasn't in a neighborhood then he would have mistaken it for an estate.

The door opened revealing a woman who looked to be in her early 20s but is really in her mid 40's, her hair was short, but had the same dark purple hair as Shousuke. She looked up and stopped Shoto and have him a cheerful warm smile. 

"You must be Todoroki come in, come in!" She exclaimed and opened the door widely for him.

He nodded and stepped in. He then crouched down to the ground and took off his shoes and placed them in front of the little step that was in front of him, after that he lifted her head and looked straight at her. "Do you perhaps know where Komi is? Mrs... Komi?"

"Ahh! So respectful!" She squealed. "Also you can call Shousuke, by his first name, just so we won't get confused." She said then closed the door behind her. "Follow me." She then started walking through the halls gesturing for him to follow her as so he did. 

While they were walking Shoto caught sight of the altar. He looked closely and saw that the person in the picture looks a lot like Shousuke, same hair, and same eyes, but they look older and seem to be smiling.

Shuuko Turned back and noticed that she was far ahead of Todoroki. She then looked over to see what he was looking at and smiled lightly. "That was Shousuke's late brother. His name was Shokomi." She said making Shoto turn and look at her in confusion. 'Late brother?'

Shuuko saw the confusion in his eyes and let out a small chuckle turned around to continue to walk making the younger follow from beside her. "When they were young they were close. If you were to see Shokomi wandering around, he's probably looking for his younger brother."

"Anywhere Shousuke would go, he's always had his older brother trailing from behind. He was quite overprotective over Shousuke though." Shuuko said then let out another chuckle before continuing.

"Say are you familiar with the name: Psycho?" She questioned then turned to Shoto who nodded in agreement.

"Yes, he was an uprising Hero, even at the age of 16 he was able to do amazing things with his quirk and was soon going to be one of the youngest heroes in history. I even looked up to him when I was a kid. Why did you ask?"

"Well you see-" Just as she was about to finish what she was about to say, she noticed that they were already in front of Shosuke's training room. "Ah! we're already here."

She then quickly reached for the door and slide it open revealing a large training room. There they saw Shousuke wearing a plain black tank top sweating he had a blindfold over his eyes preventing him from seeing. There were weapons in the air flying toward him but he was able to avoid them and counter them with little to no problem.

"Shousuke~" His mother called out making him stop his training. "Your friend is here~" All the weapons in the room stopped moving, he removed the blindfold and slicked it back over his head removing the hair that was falling onto his face.

"Go easy on him!" Shuuko said then pushed Shoto into the room then slammed the door behind him, there was a bit of silence between them, but Shoto spoke up first.

"I wanted to learn how you fight." He said making Shousuke tilt his head and look at him in confusion. The two-tone-haired boy sighed before continuing. "I wanted to learn how you were able to fight without making any rushed attacks but still a savior amount of damage to your opponent from the inside. . . ," He stated again but Shousuke still didn't get it. "You know when you were fighting that villain at USJ?" He said making Shousuke nod.

"Well I wanted to learn your fighting style, how you were about to Injure that Villain with such a light blow but with insane speed and agility." Once he was finished Shousuke didn't say anything making Todoroki a bit nervous. Sudden door of the cabinet burst open, and out came a fake human, some books, and a Wing Chun wood dummy.

One of the books that flew out landed in Shoto's hands. He looked down at it and read the word of the title, he looked a bit surprised then looked back at Shousuke who was picking up some nunchaku.

"So your fighting style is called Gentle fist?" He questioned making Shousuke nod. "A form of hand-to-hand combat that inflicts internal damage through attacking the body's organs and blood circulatory system, subsequently injuring organs which are closely intertwined with the nervous system which has been struck."

Shousuke nodded again then pointed to a room where Todoroki could get changed. And dusk the training had begun.

1 WEEK LATER

THIRD PERSON

SHOTO TRIED TO LAND A HIT ON SHOUSUKE STOMACH THE WAS LEFT UNGUARDED. [KEY WORD: TRIED] But missed when Shousuke stepped out of the way just in time and quickly crouched down a slide his leg under Shoto's feet making the multicolored-haired boy fall onto the ground of the training floor.

Shousuke sighed before helping him up. "You're attacks are too straight forwards. Your opponent will see through it." He said then pulled the other up.

Just like before the weapons that were on the floor started lifting and started glowing purple, Shousuke then grabbed a blindfold that was hanging in the air and tossed it to Todoroki, making the multi-colored-haired boy confused.

"I want you to avoid and counter them, with only your sense of hearing. . . Because you might be in a situation where you only have to depend on your sense of hearing." A voice suddenly rang through Shoto's head his eyes widen then turned to Shousuke in shock but Shousuke only has the other a nod.

"Was that you?" Todoroki questioned and earned another nod from Shousuke. "But How-" Before he could finish Shousuke cut him off in his thought.

"Telepathy." He simply stated, "But I can also manipulate my mouth so that it looks like like it moving. Plus talking with my mouth is too tiring...Okay?"  And Shoto nodded who kindly understood.

He then put on the blindfold and got into a fight stance and dusk the weapons started flying towards him. He could only hear the sound of the wind of the object.

Nun-chucks came at Todoroki intending to hit his head but he was able to grab them. then a few wooden planks came at him but he was able to smash them with the nun-chucks that were in his hand.

Suddenly a wood sword came from below and strike his leg almost making him fall over but he stood his ground. That same wooden sword lifted into the air and landed a hit on his shoulder but this was different. The wooden sword was glowing brighter than the rest.

Each time it hit Shoto he felt like the energy has been taken of him making him tired, he felt uncomfortable, his breathing was uneven with each hit, he felt like his whole body was going to give up on him and he felt like he was going to go unconscious and he did

THIRD PERSON

 SHOTO TWITCHED IN HIS SLEEP FEELING A LIGHT SHINE APOND HIS FACE, he slowly opened his eyes and saw a small but bright light above him, He then noticed that he was in a room but not his room.

He then took a look around the room, it was quite large but cozy, He slowly go up and walked towards the door the and  quietly opened it and stepped out. In front of him he saw a railing and some stairs, he then hear some noise [More like scolding] from below the staircase.

He leaned over the railing and saw Shousuke with his head hung low and his mother with bother her hands on her waist, and her Byakugan activated making her look 10x scarier in Shousuke perspective.

"I told you to go easy on him!" She shouted but stopped when she heard squeaky sound from the second floor and looked up and saw Shoto looking down at them.

Her emotion 360 and now has flowers surrounding her and a bright smile casted in her face, making her son sweat-drop.

She then hurriedly rushed up the stairs to Todoroki, she then grabbed his arm checking if he had any bruise on him. "Are you alright?! I told Shousuke to go easy on you!? But he never listens!" She frantically said.

"Yes, I'm fine." He said then retracted his arms.

Shuuko let out a small sigh but still had that bright smile on her face. "You must be hungry! Your body needs energy, because you've training for almost 2 hours! And you were out cold, thanks to someone." She whispered then turned to look at Shousuke who looked back at her.

She then grabbed Shoto by that hand and pulled him down the stairs she was practically dragging him at this point to the kitchen, where food was already on the table. Leaving Shousuke still standing at the stairs.

Shuuko sat the younger down and placed a bowl of cold soba in front of him. "It's so hot out their, so I thought that I would make something that would for sure cool you down!" She said giving the younger a warm smile. Making Shoto feel something warm in side him. 

For Todoroki he didn't know how to feel. Having a mother that was always worried for him feeding him and checking his health, he didn't have that. it was his sister that did all these things for him. But Somewhere in Shuuko's kindness he found warmth.
