CHAPTER START---

"Here he comes, everyone get ready, he's super duper strong," Nejire says as she points both her palms at Horizon, preparing to blast him with energy.

Beside her Mirio still has his bright smile on, staring across at Horizon who was clearly preparing to strike, "don't worry guys, just try not to overdo it, we don't want to hurt him or damage the facilities after all, we're still the seniors here so let's set an example."

"I don't think he sees it that way," Amajiki looks at the observation area, seeing everyone staring at them, winces, then just takes his hands out of his pockets. "Let's get this over with so I can go home..."

"Here I come!" Horizon yells from across the room, and they all prepare to counterattack.

With their years of training, they'd never dealt with someone who can warp, but with Mirio's fighting style, it was the next best thing.

They prepare to strike on either side of them, with Amajiki turning the toes on his left foot into octopus tentacles, ready to stretch out and grapple behind them.

SHAMBLES!

To everyone's surprise, Horizon appears directly in front of them.

'He didn't swap with anything!' the big three immediately notice, unaware of the intricacies of his Quirk.

Hado and Amajiki react immediately sending a wave of spiral energy and a handful of octopus tentacles, previously Amajiki's fingers, at Horizon.

But Mirio keeps his hands at his side, a wide smile on his face as his clothes begins falling through him, but he stays standing in place.

His fist rockets directly toward Mirio's gut.

"Ugh!" Mirio winces before the fist even connects, his expression twisting into pain and agony for just a split second.

BOOSTER SHOT!

"Argh!" Horizon's fist digs into his gut, taking him off his feet and sending him rocketing into the far wall. They hear the echoes of a painful sound as the concrete cracks behind him.

SHAMBLES!

Horizon warps back to his original spot, barely avoiding Amajiki and Nejire's attacks, because even with how surprised they were, their years of training meant the attacks followed through.

"Mirio!" Amajiki yells out as he looks back, seeing his friend crumpled to the floor completely unconscious. "This isn't funny Mirio, get up!"

"I don't think this is a joke Amajiki," Nejire's voice was suddenly much more serious as she looks away from her unconscious friend, back to Horizon. "So uh...do you have a plan?"

"Go home, but I'm stuck here with all these people watching me," Amajiki mutters as both his arms transform into tentacles from the shoulders outward, 8 tentacles on each side.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Deku yells out, furiously taking notes on the entire fight, quickly sketching Amajiki's tentacles.

Then all their eyes open in wonder as thick and clearly reinforced lobster shell begins forming on the tentacles like armor.

His head grows two cow horns as his legs become bovine, and most of his head and face is covered in a helmet of lobster shell he grows before their eyes.

"Chimera Kraken!" Amajiki yells out, and most of the room stares in wonder.

"That's pretty cool," Horizon says, genuinely impressed. "Just missing some wings."

"Honestly I'd like to know too," Mirio says. "Everything just felt tingly for a second, then the next thing I know I'm waking up on the floor, super weird."

"Oooh oooh!" Nejire was excitedly waving her hands to get his attention. "Maybe Horizon did that thing with his sword but with his fist instead. Since his slashes could cut you then his punches could hit you."

"But Amputate doesn't hurt or move what it affects," Momo says. "This would have to be something new, maybe he was distorting space where he hit you."

"Would that even work?" Deku asks, then immediately takes a step back, but luckily Horizon doesn't even look his way.

"It would," Horizon says. "But that's not what I did, that's a lot of effort for these three..."

Nejire gives a forced smile and pats Mirio's arm, "I promise he was actually being nice during your fight atleast."

"That's enough with the theories," Eraser says. "Horizon is just being mysterious for no reason, he tased Mirio."

"Ugh," Horizon grumbles a bit. "You know half the fun of my Quirk is nobody knows how it works, thanks for ruining that..."

"Anytime," Eraser says, now seeing everyone looking at him to explain. "When he warped to Mirio, it was hard even for me to notice such small changes, but his foot was a lot closer to Mirio's. He had a single current jump from his foot to Mirio's."

"I took advantage of the fact that he was standing on the floor, which meant atleast the skin at the bottom of his feet was solid. Guaranteed path for the current to zap him, and since it would be a chain reaction and mix with his own bioelectricity---"

"---My Quirk would think its natural and paralyze me," Mirio facepalms. "That's why my body got all tense before you hit me, wow, that's pretty smart!"

"I know," Horizon says. "But, that's just a measure I had to take since I couldn't use my sword. Most of my offensive measures are done through Scalpel."

"Scalpel?" Nejire asks.

"His sword," Momo says. "So since he didn't have it available during this fight he improvised that Quickly, most impressive."

"Alright alright, enough," Eraser rolls his eyes. "His ego is already big enough, now aside from Horizon's team everyone needs to go get changed and head back to class."

"Finally, thank you," Horizon didn't bother hiding how happy he was to have everyone finally out of his hair.

As Eraser is leading the others out of the facility, Sero and Shinso begin walking back down to the combat area, enjoying the short break they had, but one other stayed back just a moment to speak to Horizon.

"Need something?" he asks Momo, seeing her somewhat anxious to speak to him.

"Yes actually, I start training with mister Snipe later this afternoon, would you mind helping me sometimes when I get the hang of...ranged weapons."

"Guns, you can just say guns."

"It just doesn't feel very right since I'm trying to be a hero after all. But you would have the most experience fighting against...guns, so I---"

"Yes, I'll come to take a look sometime, it'll be useful training for me too."

"What kind of training could that possibly be for you?"

"Precision. Before UA I wouldn't have many direct confrontations, now I find myself dealing with gunfire a lot, and practice stopping bullets is always useful. I've gotten mostly lucky so far that no high-caliber rounds have been shot at me. They'd be a bit more annoying to stop."

"I...see," Momo gives a concerned look. "Well, I'm glad this can work out for both of us."

"Good, now I need to get back to training these idiots, have fun taking notes in class..."

"R---" he warps away before she can respond. "Alright, now I need to work hard not to embarrass myself in front of him. Oh Momo, why didn't you wait a few weeks before telling him about this."
