Chapter 3 - rest of summer

Summer went by nicely. I learned that Izu was training his quirk alone. Why he wouldn't tell me about it confused me but I wanted to respect his privacy. I had met the Bakugou family and it wasn't as pleasant as it could be. But his mom was cool. Inko had put together the last bedroom as my own room by the end of the first month. It was purple and blue. I'm glad she didn't make it all pink. I was able to pull Izu away from his training for a bit to relax. He was against it until I mentioned how overwork can lead to an early death.

We decided to spend the remaining two weeks of summer together, with him helping me with my quirk every so often. There wasn't much my quirk couldn't do but Izu said it had to have a down side. A side effect or something. So we met at the beach with me summoning as many things with my quirk. Izu was testing how much I could summon at once and keep them around.

Having my swords are me, my Helpers, a shield and finally a copy of myself running through exercises. It was at this point that I couldn't keep all of them up. I felt a strain in my mind and something wet on my upper lip and my eyes watering. "A-Akane! Lower everything!"

Blinking at Izu's panicked voice I got rid of everything. Feeling light headed I sat on the sand. Izu ran at me with the first aid kit in hand. "Aka! How do you feel?"

"I got a killer headache." Rubbing the wetness off my upper lip I saw it was blood.

"Aka, maybe we should get a doctor to test the limits of your quirk instead." He stated as he looked at my eyes. I blinked as he cleaned the area around my eyes. Pulling away I saw that the cloth was red. "Your eyes, ears and nose started to bleed."

I immediately put my hand to my ears. Looking at my fingertips I saw red as well. "I think your quirk puts a major strain on your brain. It would seem to happen if too much pressure is happening...mutter mutter mutter."

I blinked as I let Izu clean up the blood. I saw Izu come back to earth as I smiled at him. "Thank you for caring Izu. Maybe we can go get it checked if it turns out I get accepted into UA."

Izu blinked his eyes at me. He nodded as he helped me to my feet. We decided to head into the city. Inko had giving us an allowance all month to get things we wanted. Izu had gotten mostly All Might merch but I was saving up for a guitar. And with this weeks amount I finally had enough. It was perfect since it meant that if I went to a dorms I could take it with me. Walking with Izu I listened to him talk about the latest fight the Heroes did. I smiled and asked small questions as we went on our way. "Ah here we are Izu."

Izu stopped and looked at the shop. "A music shop?"

"Yeah I used to play the guitar, but I stopped when mother passed. I thought about taking it up again."

"Can't you just make one with your quirk?"

"Would you rather buy a physical copy of the All Might figurine? Or have my quirk it up and have it disappear after a few hours?" I smiled at him. He blinked and smiled back.

"You have a point."

Walking into the store I immediately went to the guitars. Picking up a white one with black and green swirls I smiled as I looked it over. Going through the process of picking out my choice and paying for it. I thanked the teen behind the counter and walked out with my guitar and supplies for it. Before I left Izu helped me put it in a case that I bought at the same time. "You chose a cool one Aka."

"Thanks Izu. It's going to be nice getting back into the habit of playing."

"Should I look into hobbies as well?" Izuku asked with a frown.

I blinked and smiled at him as we walked to a nearby park. "I can teach you if you want."

"Really?"

"Of course, but only if you help me with my studies afterwards. I can't say my kanji is the best."

This got a laugh out of him which was good. Since it got rid of the sad look on his face. We spent the next few hours at the park. I was aimlessly strumming as I was teaching Izu the basic chords. I had quirked up a guitar for him to try. He smiled as he started to play a little alongside me. I smiled back as I got rid of the guitar and put mine away. "We should go home Aka. Mom might worry if we stay out near dark."

"Sure thing." Walking with my guitar on my back and following Izu back to our apartment. "Say when do we get our letters from the school if we got in?"

"I believe they should come next week. At the earliest this week."

I nodded as we entered our home to see Inko smiling at us. She held two letters in hand. "Dears you got these in the mail today!"

I blinked as Izu looked nervous as he took his. I took mine as well, sharing a look we opened them together. Reading silently I saw I got a high placing. I was near the top spot. Placement number 3 in my scoring. Izu read aloud his letter so I heard he got a decent scoring as well. "We got in Izu." I smiled at him.

He grinned back as our mom looked to be so happy for us. "This cause for a celebration dears. I'm making hot pot!"

I blinked as Izu smiled at our mother. I looked at Izu when she left. "What's hotpot?"

"You'll see." I smiled at him, he had taken the things I hadn't known before and left them as a surprise for me. I loved learning about this new culture so I couldn't help but be excited as Izu smiled at me when I watched our mom make this hotpot.

So sorry for the last chapters grammar issues. I had typed most of it on my phone so autocorrect changed a lot as I went and I didn't notice. Next chapter is the first day of school!
