BOOM!

Boom!

BOOM!

"RAAHHHHHH!" Bakugou's raspy voice screamed as he launched towards the redhead, releasing yet another explosion.

"You can't beat me that easily, Bakubro," Kirishima said through his gritted teeth as he continued blocking the blonde's explosions.

Scratches in both their bodies were clear to be seen, which made the volleyball players cringe. The blood that rushed down their foreheads was also very concerning.

"Are they going to stop?" Yamaguchi muttered.

"I don't think they'll make it out alive that way," Tsukishima said, scoffing at the sight of them already panting heavily.

"This is our training," F/n explained, "It's normal for it to be like this. Midoriya is the worst - he kept breaking his bones. But we can just go to Recovery Girl later on."

"They can break their bones...?" Kenma asked.

"This is normal??" Kuroo asked.

Both of their cat-like eyes widened in shock and disbelief whereas the 'children' amongst them had their eyes widened in amazement and excitement.

"We can train like that?!" Bokuto asked, "Do we get to fight other people too?!"

"That's so cool!" Hinata exclaimed, "Look, Nishinoya-san, that's so cool!"

"Are we going to fight like that?" Tanaka asked, his heart beating in anticipation as he continued watching the fight with sparkles in his eyes.

"Am I going to look like that when I fight?" Nishinoya asked the girl, having to have the same expression as Tanaka.

"Probably not like that," the girl said, causing the four of them to pout while the others sighed in relief, "We'll only train mostly hand-in-hand combat."

"Hand-in-hand?" Daichi repeated.

Akaashi patted Bokuto's back as he went through his emo-phase for F/n not letting him fight others the way her brother did. Supposedly it was cool, but it surely was deadly.

"Yes," she confirmed, "Hand-in-hand. And probably sword fighting as well. Other weapons as well."

That seemed to cheer Bokuto up immediately. The girl had to try to survive as the four exotic boys bombarded her with questions.

"W-Will this cause broken bones, F/n...?" Asahi asked, nervously gulping his saliva.

"No," she said, earning sighs of relief from the boys again, "Probably a few scratches but that would be it."

"Midoriya gets his broken bones from his quirk; him not being able to have full control of his quirk. Though, he's getting better," she explained.

"Scratches?" Sugawara repeated, "How bad?"

The girl gestured towards the fighting pair. "That bad," she said, making them all shudder in fear, "Mostly it depends on the people that fight. And their skills and power, of course."

"Who... Who are we fighting?" Yamaguchi asked.

F/n scanned their expressions as she held the anticipation, being silent for a second before speaking up. "Us."

"Number one," F/n listed, "Always be ready." F/n lunged toward Daichi and his eyes widened.

"Two, never take your eyes off of your opponent." She landed a kick on Kageyama.

"Three, use the most efficient fighting stance." She kicked the back of Yamaguchi's foot, causing him to topple over.

"Four," she looked up at the group that stood in front of her, "Be cautious of your surroundings." The trap set off, sending Tanaka and Nishinoya to dangle upside-down.

"FIve, use tactics." Kenma's eyes moved to the left, stopping F/n's fist from landing on him. Akaashi lifted his leg and kicked her away from him before getting back to his fighting stance.

"Six, observe your surroundings and see what you can use." Bokuto jumped towards a wall, to the opposing wall and landed a kick on F/n mid-air, pumping his fist with a big smile as he successfully took her down.

"Seven, learn about your opponent. Think about what they will do next." Kuroo continuously blocked her punches with his forearms, blocking her anticipated kick.

"Eight, take advantage of what you're good at." Hinata dodged her punch, quickly switching places behind her and tackling her on the ground.

"Nine, know the right thing to do." Ennoshita slid on the floor, using the cuffs to cuff her ankle. Sugawara stopped her fist by grabbing her arm and twisting it so her body lay on the ground, lending a hand as he was declared the winner.

"Ten, master your aim." Tsukishima landed a hit on her nerve, temporarily preventing her from moving and cuffed her. He stood up properly, clicked his tongue and pushed his glasses up with a small smile.

"And if possible, distract your opponent." Asahi remembered her saying that as he threw the sphere on the ground, creating instant fog before detecting her and trapping her with handcuffs.

"Phew!" Tanaka huffed, laying his body on the ground, "That was tiring!"

"Yeah," Sugawara said, wiping the back of his neck with a towel, "It was more tiring than I expected it to be."

"More tiring than playing volleyball," Kuroo said.

"Oh my gosh! Did you see that, F/n-chan?" Hinata jumped up and down, "I won! I WON!"

"Maybe... not for him..." Daichi chuckled lightly.

"Hinata is really full of energy," Ennoshita smiled.

"Look at Bokuto," Nishinoya said, "He looks dead."

He does. Bokuto was laying on the ground with his arms and legs spread on the floor as he huffed and puffed out air.

Akaashi sighed. "Bokuto-san, you should drink."

"But I'm tired!" he whined, closing his eyes once again.

Kenma took a sip from his bottle himself, looking up at the sky that was filled with darkness and stars scattering across it. He let out a sigh. The group had been training since the afternoon, right after F/n's school ended.

It was tiring, more tiring than they expected it to be. But it was worth it. They started from not being able to do anything to mastering it and even beating the girl swiftly.

They practised a lot. From speed since, as F/n had said, it was better to practise speed first before strength. And so they did, following their friend's leads.

Additionally, the captain of Nekoma and Karasuno thought that this is not only useful for getting F/n's quirk back but also volleyball since they were never this enthusiastic about training endurance.

"We should probably get back, now," F/n concluded, "We have been training a lot. I didn't even notice it was night already."

They agreed, following the girl as they entered the tall building. The boys took their showers and changed into more comfortable clothes, later meeting with the rest of class 1-A.

"Have you eaten yet?" Daichi asked Iida who shook his head.

"We have not," he replied, "We have dinners around seven-thirty. Usually, so that everyone can gather and eat together."

"I see..."

Hinata clenched his grumbling stomach. They were all sprawled across the sofa, not knowing what else to do but watch the other play board and card games while the others played video games, which Kenma took interest in.

Yamaguchi looked around the place. "Where's F/n?"

Just as he said that the girl appeared from another room. Some of them acknowledged them while the others gave her quick greetings before coming back to focus on the game.

"Um..." she quietly let out but gained the unwanted attention, "I... I made dinner."

The group seemed to stop what they were doing while the volleyball players internally cheered at that.

"You... what?" Uraraka squeaked.

Mina rushed to her, engulfing her in a tight hug and the other girls slowly joined in. Midoriya smiled, causing Kenma to suspect that he knew something about it.

"Why're they like that?" Hinata asked in a whisper.

"Because F/n used to bring snacks she made by herself every day for lunch but stopped ever since she first got back here," Midoriya explained.

"Yes," Iida said, "she would always share them with everyone in the class."

"It tastes good," Todoroki said.

Everyone gathered around the tables as they sat on the chairs.

"Itadakimasu!"

And surely, as Todoroki had claimed, the food tasted amazing. So amazing that Tanaka and Nishinoya asked for more. Or was it because it was her that made it? We'll never know.
