Chapter 9: Acting like a Villain is a stress relief

As soon as the battle list came up Ichigo knew he probably had some kind of protagonist aura because you don't get the first battle of the day on your first day of school. (A.N: Like Seriously, I used a group randomizer to make the matchups and the 3 times I randomized team 10 it was always in the first battle.)

"Villain team, go into the building first and do your preparations. In five minutes, the hero team will break-in, and the battle will start!."

As Ichigo and Jirou were going into the building, All Might stopped them and said,

"Ichigo-Shounen, Jirou-Shoujo, Learn to think from the perspective of the villains. This is pretty close to a real battle. Go all out, and don't be afraid to get hurt, but do remember that if things go too far, I will stop the battle"

Ichigo looked at Jirou, asking if she had any questions to ask All Might to which she shook her head.

"Thank you, Sensei," said Ichigo and walked into the building with Jiro, quickly climbing to the top floor where the bomb was located.

"Hmm, looks like it is a paper mache," said Jiro while tapping the make-believe nuclear bomb.

"So, shall we get to planning?" Ichigo asked.

"Sure. So first things first, are we stalling till the timer ends or trying to capture the heroes?" asked Jiro

"Why not do both?" said Ichigo with a conspiratorial smirk.

"How?" asked Jiro curiously.

"So first, we will…..."

//Time skip 5 minutes later//

Ochako POV

Seeing that the timer for 5 mins was over, I asked: "Sato-kun, looks like it is time to go in."

"Hai, Uraraka-san. We should enter, be careful and check for traps."

Immediately, as we entered the building, it immediately became dark as all the windows were somehow closed along with all the doors.

'What was happening? I have a bad feeling that we need to get out of here.'

"Sato-kun, we need to get out of here quickly. I have a bad feeling."

"Me too Uraraka-san."

As I got close to the door which seemed to have been blocked, I noticed that rather than not having a handle or hinges, it was somewhat fused with the wall. But then I had a sudden idea: we could float to the top!

"Sato-kun, let's use my quirk to float to the top by leaving from the window."

"Yes, that is a great idea Uraraka-san."

Immediately, Sato-kun and I went toward the windows. But just as we neared it, earth spikes started coming up from the ground. So before they could hit us, Sato-kun and I started to dodge them.

It was then that Ichigo-Kun's voice came through the walls "Kukuku, you Heroes, so predictable. Immediately trying to avoid a confrontation by sneaking upon us.". Which was then followed by Ichigo-kun insulting us and trying to make us angry.

Unknowingly, while dodging the spikes, we neared a closed room. Sato-kun immediately ate some sugar, punched and broke the door and we entered the room, but I then heard Sato-Kun's scream

"Not good, we have been fooled. They made us dodge the spikes and carefully led us to this room to lead us into an ambush."

But by the time we had realized, it was too late and the room closed up and trapped us inside. Then suddenly the walls and ceiling started to turn into spikes and extended at a speed much faster than before and stopped right before our faces.

We were so stunned by the spikes that me and Sato-kun didn't notice that Jiro-san had come behind us and she immediately blasted us with sonic blasts at close range. The blasts stunned us and we covered our ears because of the pain but Ichigo-kun came through a hole in the ceiling and quickly tied the capture tape around both of us.

"Villain Team Wins!" I heard All Might's voice declare and couldn't help but sigh at my performance in this battle.

*Scene Change*

Third Person POV

"Cheer up Uraraka-shoujo, Sato-Shounen. You both showed some fine skills in the battle. Whether you win or lose, looking back and learning from your experiences is a part of life." Said All Might as he put his hand on Sato's shoulder. Now, it is time to go back and review everything."

*Review room*

"So, the MVP of the battle is Ichigo-kun. Can any of you tell me why?"

"Because he controlled the battle rhythm from the very start," said Iida.

"Because he made a great plan to take maximum advantage of his teammate's powers," said Izuku.

"Because he looked so Manly, tricking them into an ambush?" Kirishima said.

"Because the bast***d distracted them with his shit-talking?" Bakugou said.

"Because he was using his quirk in tandem with Jiro to control the whole building as if it were a living thing?" Shoto said.

"Yes, All of those reasons, but mainly his planning." replied All Might.

"First thing Ichigo-shounen did correctly was that he didn't let the heroes get anywhere near the bomb floor. This way, even if he was defeated the heroes would have lost some time to find the bomb.

Point number two was because all of you, shounen and shoujo, still haven't observed it yet but the nuclear device on that floor is actually a fake."

Then All Might showed Ichigo setting up a fake bomb in a room and making the floor in that area very thin. If people approached the fake bomb the floor would have collapsed.

"Ichigo-shounen showed exactly how smart villains can make you make mistakes which can cause great damage or even death.

The third thing Ichigo shonen did that was worthy of learning was that he had prepared a last case contingency. Am I right Ichigo-Shounen?"

'What the heck, how the heck did he notice that? Looks like he isn't the number one pro hero for nothing.'

"*Sigh* Yes, in case the plan was a complete failure and we were completely defeated with no chance of escape, I would have made the building collapse on itself."

"Yes, see this shounen, shojo, even though Ichigo-shounen played the villain, there could have been a hero protecting citizens in the same spot.

He would have sacrificed himself to save the people. But the same thing applies to villains as well when they are pushed into a corner, they may also do the same thing but without noble intentions like what the hero had."

'Well, I could have escaped the collapsed building due to my perfect body control but let's not burst that bubble.' Ichigo thought.

"Next is the criticism," Ochako and Sato immediately winced at that.

"We will start with Jiro-shoujo before coming to the losing team."

"Young Jiro, you performed excellently in the entire battle. Timing your attack perfectly with Ichigo-Shounen but my criticism is that during the planning phase, you didn't give any input to the plan or ask questions about the plan.

While that is okay here, in a real-life scenario if you go into the battle without completely understanding the plan or if you find something uncomfortable in the plan you could get killed due to it."

"Now, to the losing Hero team. Can anyone tell me what the Hero team did wrong?"

"Sensei, can I answer? " Yaoyorozu Momo asked and quickly got confirmation,

"Firstly, the hero team didn't decide to use Uraraka-san's floating quirk until they were inside the building and that caused them to be locked into the building by Ichigo-san.

Secondly, even though they knew the quirk of Jiro-san, they didn't think to float to avoid the villains detecting them through sound.

Thirdly was that Sato-san could have broken the spikes and bulldozed their way to the bomb even though he would have less time to stop the bomb.

Finally, they were distracted by the goading and talking of Ichigo-san so they were unable to notice that they were being directed to a closed room with a single entrance and exit.

A hero should always keep in mind the escape routes for a room, if not for retreating when a situation is too dangerous at least so that if a captured or cornered villain tries to escape they can predict it and block the escape."

'Sh-She said more than I was expecting.' thought All Might with a face twitch.

"W-Well, Sato-shounen and Uraraka-shoujo should have also made a plan of action before they went in to decide how they wanted to approach the situation.

For example, if they wanted to lure the Villains to come out and fight, they should go with a louder search, but if you wanted to sneak in you would have immediately entered the building while floating.

But the answer was correct," said All Might with a thumbs up.

"Start with the basics to develop one's learning and devote yourself wholeheartedly, otherwise we won't become top heroes," said Momo.

"All right everyone, let's change locations and start the second match! Tackle this training after thinking about what we just talked about."
