《My Hero Academia: Pathway to the Top》Chapter 5 - Battle Training; Winning isn't so easy~
Advertisement
Hayato and Todoroki walked to the 5th floor where their bomb had been placed. They walked in complete silence, even though Hayato did want to get to know her, he knew that now wasn't exactly the time.
"Todoroki-san, I think you'd be more suited to the defense of the bomb seeing as you're more suited to long range. Is that okay?" Hayato asked Todoroki as he looked at her. He got a short nod of agreement. When they got to the bomb, Todoroki started preparing the room for an attack by reinforcing the walls and floor with Ice.
Hayato waited outside as he didn't want to get in the way or embarrass himself by slipping on the ice she'd put down.
After 5 minutes, Todoroki had done all she could do and Hayato and her shared a nod to signal that they were ready. They put in some earpieces that All Might gave them and Hayato then started walking around the corridors in search for the Hero team.
After walking for a few minutes he heard some talking. It sounded like Kendo and Toga laughing about something. Hayato manipulated his muscles in his hands to come out of his hands and mold around his hands and end in claw-like fingers. Once they did that, he made them harden and thrust them into the concrete next to him.
*Slice!*
Just like he wanted, they went right into the concrete like a knife into butter. He climbed up the wall using his new claws and positioned himself so that they wouldn't be able to see him unless they looked in that specific spot for him.
After waiting for a minute or two, Toga and Kendo walked under him and he waited until they were past him and then he dropped down silently. He crept up behind them, using the muscles on his feet as mufflers so they didn't hear him and when they were in his range he leaped toward them.
"Woah! Haha told you he'd ambush us Kendo!" Toga's excited voice rang from the side of where he was, shocking Hayato. Another voice rang out, presumably Kendo's "Oh well, guess I owe you some food after school today" she spoke in a mock sad voice.
Hayato pulled back as quickly as he could, shooting the other two an inquisitive look. "How'd you know I was there?" he asked with a gruff voice, Toga got all red for a second before she answered "That's a secret, Tagami-kun~" her voice seemed incredibly sweet, sickly level of sweet.

Hayato ignored her and instead charged towards Kendo. He got close to her with a speed faster than the last time he charged at them and threw a fist at her. She returned the gesture by throwing her fist at him.
'Bad move, Kendo-san~'
When their fists connected, Kendo had the same thought as Hayato and knew she'd gotten cocky.
*BANG!*
She was thrown backward from the collision and straight into a wall. Toga seemed slightly surprised as Kendo said earlier that she knew she was weaker than Hayato but she should be able to stand her ground against him. But she couldn't.
Toga flew towards Hayato with a special looking switchblade in her hand, it was attached to a tube that went to the side of her mask, which by the way was a big toothy grin on a mask. She was quick, quicker than Hayato expected so she was able to cut him once, drawing a small amount of blood which was sucked up by the blade and sent to her mask.
"Mhmm~ Your blood is delicious, Tagami-kun~" Toga said with a flushed face and her incredibly sickly sounding sweet voice.
'Okay, that's really weird...'
After ingesting his blood Toga seemed to become quicker and stronger. She kept getting cuts in here and there and drawing more and more blood and she got stronger and stronger. But sadly, Hayato was only playing about to waste time for the battle training.
Hayato hadn't seen Kendo since he hit her through that wall, he hoped she was okay and he didn't cause any real damage to her. When he was thinking about where she was, he got his answer as the floor above them, the 3rd floor, collapse and through the debris came Kendo with both her arms looking metallic but also rough like a rock.
As he wasn't exactly expecting it, she got a punch off on his face. It hurt.
After her punch, she was hit away by something incredibly hard and fast.
"That hurt, Kendo-san." Hayato spoke in an incredibly friendly voice as if to hide his anger at being punched by what felt like a train.
'Get your head in the game, Hayato!'
He gave himself a mental slap and entered full muscle form and ran at the two girls with blistering speed.
Meanwhile, in the monitor room with All Might and the other students, people were asking All Might questions.
"All Might, why's Tagami-san struggling? He's much stronger than the other two isn't her?" Said Iida, with his usual serious expression and matching voice.

"Iida-kun, it's not that Hacchan isn't strong enough, he's just trying to not destroy the building if he can help it. If he went full power, the building would collapse." before All Might could answer, Izuku came in and explained why Hayato hadn't taken them both out instantly.
All Might nodded and spoke "Young Midoriya is right, if Young Tagami went full power he could get the heroes near instantly but the building could collapse on them. And although he's supposed to be a villain, he's showing a very hero-like trait." he nodded his head, proud of Hayato's cautiousness.
Back to the fight, Hayato was slowly but surely pushing Toga and Kendo into a corner so he could capture them. Seeing the dire situation, Kendo looked at Toga and spoke "Toga, take my blood, you should be able to go against him then!" she spoke with such desperation that you'd think this was real.
Toga shakily nodded her head and cut Kendo and sucked a lot of blood out of her. Kendo paled and passed out but she'd survive because of how strong her physique was anyway. Toga, on the other hand, seemed as if she was some kid who was hyperactive off of some sugar.
She shot towards Hayato with incredible speed and agility. Hayato was shocked because she was slightly quicker and more agile than him at the moment. This let her get many slashes on him. Hayato, even under the assault of many knife slashes, still seemed calm and looked at the watch on his right wrist.
'Okay, 2 minutes left.'
Hayato knew he wouldn't be able to catch Toga unless he went into [Oni Mode] and that mode's strength would cause the building to collapse.
As he was taking slash after slash to his arms, he didn't notice that Kendo was creeping behind him and the paleness on her face had vanished mysteriously. She prepped herself so she was ready to take Hayato down. She put all her energy on making her right arm as strong as she could, like before it looked metallic but had the roughness of rock but this time her arm was massive and would sure pack a much bigger punch.
She saw that Toga had all of his attention and thus charged at him according to her plan with Toga. When she was in range, she threw her fist with everything she had and Hayato noticed it all too late and got hit by it and went flying through multiple pillars and walls.
Toga and Kendo jumped into the air in celebration, swearing mentally that they'd buy Hayato as much food as he wanted after this. They would have carried on celebrating if it weren't for All Might voice blasting over the speakers in the building. Strangely, he sounded...worried?
"You two, get out of there, now! Tagami, calm down, now!" All Might shouted with his usual boisterous voice but he seemed anxious and when they looked in the direction of where Hayato was sent flying, they knew why.
"Thanks, you two, for putting a stop to my arrogance. I'll make sure to do what I need to now." Hayato spoke in a strange and calm voice as an aura of power radiated off of him. His muscle form darkened into a near black red and red lightning crackled all over his form. Looking at his eyes, his pupils had turned into slits and his red eyes looked alive like a red inferno. His canines had become longer and sharper looking.
He also had two new horns to the outside of his original horns. The new horns were smaller than the original ones but they still added to his menacing look.
He appeared in front of the pair and 'lightly' kicked them. They were knocked unconscious instantly and sent through many walls and pillars and then right out of the building. They were covered in bruises and cuts. Luckily they both had strong bodies and weren't damaged permanently.
Hayato went back to the where the bomb was and appeared in front of Todoroki as if he teleported there. She jumped back in shock and looked at Hayato in wonder, his unique appearance at the minute seemed to make her incredibly curious about who he was.
"Game...game over, Villain Team wins!" All Might's voice didn't sound as boisterous anymore. After the announcement, Hayato collapsed and Todoroki looked at him surprised. She decided to help him out and she pretty much half-dragged, half-carried him to the exit of the building.
When she saw the Hero team's state, she looked at Hayato in even more shock.
All Might came over to Hayato and popped a few round pills into his mouth. When asked by Izuku what they were he answered that they were highly dense food pills and Hayato had requested them.
Everyone in the class looked at the building and the damage caused by both teams and decided not to mess with either of them, especially Hayato.
