Chapter 10: The Second battle
Ichigo sat in the waiting room with the other students and was immediately congratulated by other students,
"Oi, Ichigo your costume is so Manly bro, you did very well in the battle."
"Ichigo, I am sorry it took me so long but I couldn't find you after the tour. I wanted to personally thank you for your words on the entrance exam. It was very inspirational for me. Your costume design is very functional as well as good looking," Iida said.
As Ichigo was about to respond to Iida, Bakugou came near Ichigo and said
"Oi, you stupid strawberry, don't get cocky cause I will take the number one spot and crush you like the fruit you are!"
Saying that he immediately walked away.
"How rude!" Iida said.
Ichigo was surprised and laughed hard behind his mental shields at Bakugou's comment, when did he ever flaunt his wins? If it was anything else it was Bakugou who was the cocky one, and he couldn't help but find the irony of the situation very funny.
"It is no problem Iida, it is always better to fix a misconception of a person early into the career so that person can choose his future more carefully." He said to which Iida thanked him again and went away to talk with Yaoyorozu probably about her analysis of his match.
"Eh, what is Iida talking about? Also, don't worry about Bakugou, he is like his quirk he's an explosive guy," said Kirishima
"How do you know about it? This is only the first day you know?"
"Ah, that... I am kinda good at reading people and so I guess that is my reading on Bakugou?"
"Heh, don't worry. I know what Bakugou is like from Izuku. Anyway, on the day of the entrance exam, I figured out about the rescue points before the start of the exam and after it, I was talking with Shinso about it ....." Ichigo quickly gave a recap about the conversation between them that day, somewhere during the conversation Izuku also came and started to listen.
"Wow, great words Ichigo-kun. By the way, nice costume Ichigo-kun, and I loved the way you planned to use the greatest advantage you could get out of Jiro-san's quirk."
"Oh, Izuku, thanks for the compliment. Your costume is not bad itself, it looks like it was inspired by Captain America from the ambitionverse series. By the way, thank Aunty Inko for sending me those sweets and cookies for my Birthday, they were really tasty."
"Oh, yeah my costume is based on Captain America because you know as a late bloomer, it kinda fits because of me going from my wimpy self to my current muscled self. It was no problem for Mom, Ichigo-kun."
"Man your speech was Manly Ichigo and I thought you were more of a Spiderman type of guy Izuku, you know because of all your notes and nerdy behaviour. But you are right, I also think Captain America is also a good fit for you." Kirishima said.
"Hmm, anyway nice costume, you should think about integrating eyewear into the costume because I heard the Tony company is going to launch a new hero support item based on Artificial Reality. Man, but you should tell Aunt Inko that I would like some more cookies because the ones I got for my birthday are almost over."
Talking about Inko's cookies made Ichigo reminisce of the first time Ichigo met Inko.
// Flashback //
"Hey Izuku, If you want to focus completely on building your body then you have to test out of school. What subjects are you unable to pass out of if you have to take the exams right now?"
"Ah, I am very good in all subjects except the languages and the social sciences."
"Hmm, that is very good then for the next week I will stay at your home and tutor you to make sure you can pass the exam."
"But Kurosaki-san, what about the principal and the school authorities?"
"Don't worry about that, I will take care of it."
"Instead you should worry about asking your Mum."
"Oh, yeah okay then please let me ask my mother."
Izuku then proceeded to make a call to his mom and get permission from her.
** That evening, Midoriya Apartment **
"I am back home."
"Oh, Izuku you are back! And you must be Izuku's friend. Nice to meet you."
"Sorry for the inconvenience and thank you for taking care of me, my name is Ichigo Kurosaki, nice to meet you."
"Oh, looks like you both have had quite the workout, why don't you have a bath and get ready and I will be setting up the dinner. Izuku why don't you show Ichigo-kun around the house."
"Yes, mom." Izuku then nervously showed him around the house. He almost lost control of his Mind shields and burst out laughing when he saw Izuku's All Might shrine in his All Might merchandise room. After that, they both had baths and got to the table just in time for the dinner to be served.
"So Ichigo-kun, what do your parents do?" Inko asked.
"Oh, they both died in a villain attack a few months after I was born. I now live in an orphanage near Dagobah beach with the other orphanage children Midoriya-san."
"Oh, you can just call me aunt Inko, sorry for bringing it up Ichigo-kun, I did not know," Inko said anxiously. Huh, now he could see where Izuku got his nervousness.
"Oh, don't worry about it, I never felt their absence before with Sister Lily in the orphanage. She is a big sister and mother figure to me and I even have an adopted brother. Here, this is a picture of me, Sister Lily and my adopted brother Shinso. These are the other kids in the orphanage, this is the little tanuki Tanaka, this is the strict Mimuro, and this is ... "
Unknowingly they had a happy dinner with Ichigo introducing his orphanage and the kids to Izuku and Inko and for some time he forgot that he was in a stranger's home. Talking and chatting with Inko had somehow made him remember his aunt from his previous life and Ichigo felt comfortable with her.
Over the next week, as he stayed at their house and tutored Izuku, he genuinely liked Inko. While he still disliked Izuku for being spineless and his complete lack of initiative for his dream it had dissolved from the previous hate to the current dislike sheerly because of Inko. The frequent visits from Toshinori also didn't go unnoticed by him as well as the ambiguous relation between Toshinori and Inko.
While he would not interfere in their relationship, he offered to instruct Inko when he saw her looking for super costly work out devices.
"Oh, Inko-san looks like you are looking to buy some fitness devices for the house. You know I have a medical degree and also have a dojo licence so if you want I can instruct you."
"Oh no, Ichigo-kun this is for Izuku. I heard how he is going to be trained by you, anyway now that you are here you probably know about which devices I should choose."
"Don't worry about it, I just bought a new gym machine and the old one is kinda collecting dust. Why don't you guys take it, you know what I will tell Asato-nii to bring them here first thing tomorrow morning. "
"But Ichigo-kun, that is yours."
"Don't worry Inko-san as I said: better with someone who can use it than rotting at my home. Now, what about my offer to instruct you? Since I am going to train Izuku anyway, I can instruct you when he isn't training."
"Hmm, I am kinda feeling out of shape." He heard her mumble to herself but with his training hearing, he was able to pick it up.
"Ok, Ichigo-kun. I will take up that offer."
Eventually, he changed her habit of stress eating sweet food to stress eating salads by making and teaching her how to make delicious salads. But the things that he loved were her cookies and pudding. He ate the puddings first because they didn't last and stored and ate the cookies whenever he was in the emotional dumps or was frustrated with the lack of progress in a project.
// Flashback Ends //
"How do you know Izuku, Ichigo?" Kirishima asked.
"I was the one that trained his body to withstand his quirk. When Izuku first unlocked his quirk a single punch almost shattered his arm completely and if his body was not trained properly he would probably have exploded and died from body failure."
Ichigo was explaining to Kirishima when from the corner of his eyes he saw Bakugou tense up when he said that Izuku would have probably died by the bodily explosion.
'What a tsundere.' Ichigo thought when he saw Bakugou's reaction. (A.N.: For readers who don't know what a Tsundere is, you can search for the song 'It's Not Like I like you' on youtube it perfectly depicts 'Tsundere' behaviour.)
"5 mins of preparation time for the Villains is up, the Hero team can go in." And to signify the start of the match an air horn was activated
** Battle Building B **
Match number 2: Villain Team 8- Hitoshi Shino, Tsuyu Asui VS Hero Team 9- Mina Ashido, Mashirao Ojiro
As soon as the airhorn rang, Mina and Ojiro entered the building. They quickly made it through the building and reached the room with Shinso and Asui. The battle immediately started between Shinso and Ojiro, and Asui and Mina.
As they were battling, Shinso suddenly used his voice modulator to imitate Ojiro's voice and said: "Ashido-san, Let's switch."
"Okay" Mina responded instinctively and was immediately caught by Shinso's mind control.
"Tsuyu-san, the plan is a success." It immediately became a two vs one as Shinso and Asui worked together and fought Ojiro. Seeing that the battle was taking some time and they didn't have the stamina to fight as long as Ojiro, Shinso got an idea and immediately ordered,
"Ashido-san, now you shall use your acid to keep cutting off Ojiro's escape routes."
Shinso could have ordered Mina to fight with them to make it a 3 vs 1 but Shinso knew any hits to her in the middle of the battle would probably break the control. But eventually, his plan worked and Ojiro tripped on Mina's acid and before Ojiro could recover from the fall, Shinso quickly captured him with his capturing tape.
After that, he quickly captured the mind-controlled Mina as well.
"Hero team captured, Villain team wins," All Might declared.
*Review Room*
"Now that everybody is back in the room, I declare that the MVP of the match is Shinso-Shounen!. With that out of the way now we will discuss all the mistakes made by both the teams."
"First we will start with the losing team, Do you know why you guys lost?"
"It is because of me being controlled," Mina said, looking down with a sad face.
"Now, I will not mince my words but the reason you lost is partly because of your mistake Mina-shoujo. But it was not all your mistake. Now we will see what you did correctly.
1.) You didn't immediately rush into the Bomb room headfirst but also made sure to scout ahead and make sure there weren't any traps or fakes.
2.) You chose the correct opponents to battle, seeing that Shinso-shounen is physically weaker than Ojiro-shounen and would counter him while Mina-shoujo could use her Acid to restrict Tsuyu-shoujo by spraying acid on the area she lands.
Now onto your mistakes.
1.) The mistake both of you made was that even though you knew how Shinso-shounen could control you if you responded to him, you didn't prepare a contingency plan.
2.) The next mistake Mina-shoujo made was that you did not take the training battle seriously. You were treating the battle like it was a sports event like baseball and weren't using your acid to harm the other side. In a real-life villain battle, it would have cost the lives of you and your teammate and it is also because of this behaviour that you let your guard down and got caught.
3.) Ojiro-shounen's mistake was that when he noticed Mina-shoujo being mind-controlled, he didn't immediately try to wake her up. With your martial prowess if you had risked injury and put everything you had into it you would have probably been able to knock Mina-shoujo out of the mind control."
Seeing that Ojiro and Mina understood their mistakes, All Might changed his direction towards Shinso and Tsuyu's team.
"Now the winning team, even though you won, it was a very hard-won victory and there are still some mistakes. First, we will talk about what your team did correctly.
1.) You made the correct choice to fight both teammates of the enemy team in the same room without separating so that you can use the voice modulation to trick them.
2.) You chose the correct opponent to mind control as if you had controlled Ojiro-shounen instead, even if you would be able to defeat Mina-shoujo, you would not be able to immediately capture her as she could have melted it with her acid and the longer he was under the mind control, the more likely Ojiro-shounen might have been able to fight the effects of the mind-control.
3.) You observed very quickly that Ojiro was going for the Bomb and made sure to lock out his escape route by using Mina-shoujo.
Now for the criticism
1.) You did not set any traps throughout the building. Even if you are sure that they would be able to escape your traps, you should still put traps as that would give help on the timer by wasting the heroes time and also because it would mentally drain the heroes because of being on a constant lookout and would be more susceptible to fall in your mind control.
2.) You also did not make any contingencies for the bomb, like hiding or at least a trap around it.
3.) You also weren't pro-active in attacking the heroes throughout the building, only staying near the bomb indirectly also risking it.
4.) You made the wrong decision to fight near the bomb. In case of a defeat, if you fight in another room, it will at least give you a minute to recover and go after them again until completely defeated.
So in conclusion even though your team won, it was a hard-won victory and the result could have gone either way."
"Now that the discussion about this battle is over, it's time for the next battle. Villain Team 7 vs Hero Team 8"
CREATORS' THOUGHTS 
Daonexus
Daonexus Ah, ha, my dear readers, I am glad you are here, you are here I was just getting ready to serve you AN AUTHOR NOTE TRAP. Now it is time to tell you a tragic backstory.
You see my dear readers when I started to write the faction I was just a boy searching for affection through the readers. But now that I have reached the point where I am getting bored with writing the same fic, I am going to slow my updates to only Sunday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9:00 pm.
But worry not my readers, soon I will use my latest invention, the very-long-chapter-inator, to hit every chapter I post from now on. With these chapters and all my new readers, I shall take over all of the *Brings out a map with magnifying glass*MHA-Fullmetal Crossover Fanfiction area.
