Multiverse: Our Abilities Are Normal! Chapter 106 Villain Vs Hero! (Patreon)
Content
"Two on two battle?"
"Yup." All Might nodded at their confusion. "It will be a battle between a team of two against another team in the indoor area to simulate how the villain and hero would be in reality."
To become a hero, it was necessary for one to be able to fight, and the one that they had to fight was the villain!
While the term "villain" might seem unusual, let's simplify it: they were essentially criminals. However, the term "criminal" has a broad definition, and sometimes it's hard to identify who is a criminal. Instead of being seen as heroes, these individuals are caught by law enforcement.
So, who was the villain?
What made it different from a normal criminal?
The difference was that those villains used their Quirks to harm others, and to stop them was the duty of a hero.
Regardless, this time, All-Might told them that they had to form a pair based on the lottery, and each of them would play the role of either a hero or a villain.
So what about the rules?
"For this training, we'll have some villains guard a nuclear weapon they intend to deploy! It's up to the heroes to stop them and their evil scheme before it's too late! If the heroes capture the villains or reach the nuclear core before the time runs out, they win. If the villains manage to keep the core the whole time or capture the heroes, they win!
"Anyway, let's start the lottery!"
The result?
Yes, Midoriya happened to be with Uraraka.
"Please take care of me, Midoriya-kun."
As Uraraka greeted Midoriya politely, Midoriya was all shy and blushed. "Y-Yes!"
Still, her eyes quickly glanced in Sato's direction, showing her worry since his partner was—
"WHY ARE YOU MY PARTNER?!"
Yup, it was Bakugou.
Sato was also speechless as he had never expected that his partner would be Bakugou. After all, as Mineta Minoru had gone, then shouldn't he be partnered up with Momo Yaoyorozu?
While Sato wasn't that of a pervert, nor did he aim for a harem, instead, with Bakugou, who was all noisy, wouldn't it be better with a beautiful woman?
Still, as Bakugou said those words, Sato said, "Don't worry. Even if I am alone, I can win."
"......" Bakugou.
"HA? EVEN WITHOUT YOUR HELP, I WILL WIN, TOO!"
Damn!
Bakugou cursed himself for being so small-minded, thinking he should be the one who said those words instead of Sato!
Also, if he complained about this, then could he become the number one hero?
"Good, then. You be the leader."
"......" Bakugou.
"...you are okay with that?"
"Yup, I am fine with being your supporter. When you mess up, I will clean up the mess."
Bakugou snorted at Sato's words, and it infuriated him to see this calm smile of his, but even so, he had to say, while he wanted to fight Sato in the duel more, as an ally, he felt this guy was reliable.
Still, without a doubt, as Sato and Bakugou teamed up, everyone felt tense as they realized their combination might be able to crush all of them!
Only—
"Huh?!"
Uraraka wasn't the only one who was surprised, but Midoriya was also dumbfounded!
"Fuh..."
"We're lucky..."
"Yup, our luck is good."
As the ones who would face Sato and Bakugou were Uraraka and Midoriya, the rest sighed in relief as they knew that they wouldn't have to face the two most powerful individuals in their class.
Could Uraraka and Midoriya handle Sato and Bakugou?
"........."
Yup, those two were going to lose.
"K-Kacchan...."
Still, while Midoriya was shaking as he thought of his first fight with Bakugou, his body shook even more violently as he glanced in Sato's direction.
"Deku..."
Bakugou narrowed his eyes at this side character, who had always bothered him. In the original story, he had always been fixated with Midoriya, but in this world, it was impossible for him to do so since he knew well that if he wanted to become the number one hero instead of focusing on Midoriya, who gained a sudden Quirk and a power that was beyond understanding, his focus should be on his teammate, Sato Suzuki.
Sato might have a name like that of a side character, yet Bakugou knew well that this guy was extraordinary, like that of a godly being, who narrated the story from the background.
"By the way, Bakugou, you can be the leader."
"......." Bakugou.
It annoyed him with how mature Sato was, as Bakugou was ready to fight for the leadership, making him appear less mature.
"In exchange, let me handle Uraraka."
"...do you want to give mercy to your lover?"
As Bakugou's gloomy voice questioned him, Sato said, "It's not a mercy, but I might beat you up if you hurt her."
"..........." Bakugou.
"But, it should be okay, right? We're the villains, after all. Even if we betray each other, nothing is wrong as we're the villains."
"..........." Bakugou.
Yes, with another lottery, it was decided that their team would be the villain in this class, and the team of Uraraka and Midoriya would become the hero.
Still, hearing Sato's words, Bakugou grinned. "Good, then. When we finish those two, we will fight. You are okay, right?"
"............" Everyone.
Everyone was at a loss, for a moment, as their voices were quite loud and naturally heard by everyone.
Sato didn't immediately answer Bakugou's question, but looked at All-Might, who gave him a nod. "If you can stop Midoriya-kun, then let's do it."
"That's what you say!" Bakugou grinned as he looked at Midoriya. "Hurry up and just give up, Deku! You can't use your Quirk anyway! You should just admit a loss, so you won't be a burden!"
Instead of fighting the useless Midoriya, Bakugou wanted to fight Sato more!"
"?!"
Midoriya was stunned, and even timid as he was shaking violently when all the eyes were on him.
Frankly, Sato felt that Bakugou wasn't wrong since, as the villain, wasn't it normal for him to make the opponent lose by trash talk?
All-Might didn't stop Bakugou since he knew well that if he kept babying Midoriya, then the next generation of his wouldn't be able to grow up!
A little rough training was necessary to build Midoriya's character and let him stop having this social anxiety personality!
Yet, was it so easy for the hero team to lose?
"Uraraka, give your everything."
Uraraka, who met Sato's gaze, nodded. "Okay."
Yes, Sato wasn't the only one who grew stronger due to the other Sato, but Uraraka, as she stayed with him, also trained her Quirk, too, and grew stronger!
"Midoriya-kun, let's do our best!"
"Y-Yes, Uraraka-san!"
Still, facing Uraraka's cheers, Midoriya blushed and was all shy, thinking that he could do his best to fight Bakugou!
'Then...'
Midoriya would fight Sato!
Only, Bakugou shook his head, thinking that Midoriya was dreaming since he knew well that even if he fought Sato... inwardly, while it was frustrating, he knew his chance to win was low.
However, before that, as Bakugou put his gaze on Midoriya, he thought to put this extra character in his place!
Still, even their first hero course class, Villains vs Heroes, was about to start!
