What a great way to start my morning. Not only did I wake up cuddled next to Sasha, but I also awoke to several new tickets. Spin 'em!

[Spinning, spinning, spinning, done!]

[Hurricane]

|Elite Ability|

Allows you to conjure and command mighty winds and hurricanes with great power. With enough training, you can devastate several cities with hurricanes and storms.

Already setting the bar high! Combining this with Divinity Water and Ice is basically a country killer. Even if it'd take a while.

[Water Breathing]

|Rare Skill|

Demon Slayer - Water Breathing is a specialized swordsmanship style and breathing technique that mimics water, specifically the flow, flexibility, and adaptability of the liquid and replicates it with the user's movements, techniques, and abilities. Most, if not all, known techniques involve the user bending their body, arm, and weapon in a fluid motion to match the movements of rushing or flowing water. With magical power, water can be manifested to further augment the power of the style.

Ok, this is another game changer. Already I was stronger than most, if not THE strongest person on the planet, at least physically. This took the rigid but overwhelming strength of a Viltrumite and added adaptability AND flexibility to the mix.

[Stimpack]

|Uncommon Item|

Fallout - A potent medical tool from a post-apocalypse world. A stim pack is a syringe pack filled with modified stem cells and healing agents that boost the human body's natural regenerative properties into overdrive. WARNING: Using the stim pack without adequate nutrients or minerals in the body can cause more harm than good. Restock Timer: 24 hours

Great! Kinda useless since I already set up an automated system underneath U.A to make these in bulk, but it might come in handy one day if I somehow use up my entire supply.

With that out of the way, I jumped outta bed and took a shower as I got ready for the day ahead of me.

Aizawa had filled me in the other day; today both Class 1-A and Class 10B would be training together. That was nothing new; we'd sparred and hit the gym together plenty of times, but this time would be different.

Not only did we have seven new, powerful classmates, we'd also been growing throughout the year and were much more sure of ourselves, at least the others were.

I'd already been told I'd be sitting things out. I'd be on standby to make sure no one died before Recovery Girl could get to them. For now, though, I was chilling as Aizawa and Vlad explained the rules.

Toshinori and Midnight had also come to spectate as everyone drew lots. The teams were as follows.

Round 1: Sasha, Denki, Tsuyu, Kirishima, and Shinso VS Shishida, Hiryu, Tsuburaba, and Shiozaki.

Round 2: Aoyama, Momo, Toru, and Fumikage VS Kendo, Fukidashi, Komori, and Koroiro

Round 3: Ida, Shoto, Ojiro, and Shoji VS Honenuki, Tetsutetsu, Tsunotori, and Kaibara

Round 4: Bakugo, Sero, Jiro, and Sato VS Kamakiri, Tokage, Bondo, and Awase

Round 5: Izuku, Alarielle taking my spot, Mina, and Ochaco VS Yanagi, Shoda, Monoma, Kodai, and Shinso

That still left Eren, Armin, and Mikasa, as well as the trio of Americans that were added to Class 1-B. Aizawa explained that they would be going last, so that everyone would get to see how hero students were trained in other countries, and what that meant combat-wise.

"Hey, isn't it unfair that Alarielle is with our team?" Ochaco raised her hand as Mina tried to shush her. Aizawa snorted, but answered anyway. "Yes, that's why we're going to level things out during your match. Let's get started."

As the first group got ready for their match, I walked over to Momo and watched the fun. "Who do you think will win?" She asked as the horn sounded. "We will. Sasha's too good at what she does for the other team to have a chance."

"What does Sasha do?" Momo asked, and I grinned. "Exactly."

We kept watching as Shishida used his quirk to the fullest, throwing Kirishima and Tsuyu into pipes as he rushed towards Denki. Before he could, Shinso managed to brainwash him, only for Tsuburaba to trap him and wake up Shishida.

Denki then rushes in and zaps Shishida as he's swatted aside, with Tsuyu grabbing Tsuburaba after he's jumped in the air to not get shocked. Tsuyu takes off towards their prison, as Shishida gives chase.

Kirishima takes the time to free Shinso from the air prison before turning to face Shishida. Hurling both pipes and himself at him, Kirishima is surprised when Shishida cancels his quirk, reverting to his normal form.

Before Shishida can capitalize on this opening, Sasha appears from seemingly nowhere and strikes the back of his head, knocking him out. She then melts into the shadows once more as Kirishima chases after Tsuyu, dragging Shishida behind him.

With two out of four down, Shiozaki and Rin hunker down in the best spot they can find. They know that the others are coming for them, but I can see how tense they are. Sasha makes things worse as usual, throwing things at them from weird angles, keeping them on edge as the rest of the team arrives.

Kirishima and Tsuyu go after Rin, as Denki lets himself get captured by Ibara. I guess he said something clever. Since she wraps vines around his head, she then says something and freezes. Shinso strikes again!

Shinso then has Ibara wrap up Rin, and just like that, Round 1 goes to Class A.

"Told you." I grinned as Momo rolled her eyes. "I'll admit, it was impressive. I've got to go now." She waved as she got ready for Round 2, and Sasha took her place.

"Good job! If I hadn't been looking for you, I might have missed you." I said as she smiled. "They sure didn't see me." We kept up the small talk as the next round started, only looking up when Aoyama was snatched away from the others by what looked like a sentient shadow.

"Who do you think will win, Momo or Itsuka?" Sasha asked, and I shrugged. "It could honestly go either way; it depends on who gets to put their plan into motion first. Momo can adapt to anything Itsuka throws at her, and she's been working on reaction time lately, but Itsuka's no slouch either.

I think it depends on who'll be able to adapt the quickest. So, I'm guessing it'll be a draw, even if it's a close one."

She nodded, then smirked. "So, any plans for the new girl?" I groaned; this again?! "I'm not doing that; I've already told you." Let me explain.

Within the time Eren and his friends had been here, they'd been normal students. Laughing, eating, and studying with the rest of us; even the Americans had joined in. Alarielle had done that as well, but had also come to recruit.

For the others, who consisted of dropping hints so they could have a great hero career in the UK, Shoto seemed to be the only one interested, but barely. She flipped the table with me, though, outright asking me to drop out of U.A and become a hero for the UK.

As if that wasn't enough, she flat out told me that if I defected to the UK, I could marry into the royal family. To whom, you might ask? Alarielle, of course; she was only the strongest hero of all the United Kingdom after the King himself.

I had obviously turned her down, explaining that I already had a deal with Nezu, but she only doubled down. Saying that she could strike a deal with Nezu, and that I could 'keep that kitten that keeps following me around.'

It had taken a lot of self-control not to rip her head off; I won't lie.

I had refused to talk to her for the past few days and filled in Nezu. He'd been more concerned than mad, but she was a royal, so I guess even he didn't want to tangle with them too much.

"I won't go to that country, not at all." My stance was firm, especially with all of Sasha's teasing after she found out.

"Oh come on. You really expect me to believe that I wouldn't look good in a maid outfit?" She said, grinning as I agreed, but I still didn't like the arrogance Alarielle had to say such things about her.

"That's not the point!" I huffed as Vlad cheered for Itsuka's victory. "I don't like how she talked about you; it made me want to rip her head off. I don't care if she is an actual princess, she closed any chance of me going as soon as she treated you as lesser."

Sasha's eyes softened as she pecked me on the cheek. "Thanks, I'm glad I hold a special place in your heart."

"Can you two shut the fuck up?!" Bakugo snarled as I suddenly remembered where I was.

"You're just mad you can't get laid." Sasha snapped as I tried to make myself smaller; it didn't work. Thankfully, the next round had started, and everyone was watching as Shoto formed a massive pillar of ice.
