Today is the day for internships and Izuka is already at the train station with Aizawa and Shinso ready to go. They arrived early so that the class can be together one last time before and Aizawa can give them a stern talking. Izuka is also here early to talk to somebody she is highly suspicious about.
"Izuka." Aizawa catches her attention and she turns to look up at him, " Don't try anything stupid."
"Define stupid." Izuka retorts, causing Shinso to laugh.
"You know what I mean. We're going to miss you." Izuka nods, but she is quiet after that. The first to arrive is Iida, the man she is looking for.
"Iida, come here and walk with me, I need to talk to you." Izuka says bluntly. Iida leaves his bag with Aizawa and follows her down the train station. She has been trying to get him to open up the past week and she is done with his shit. "I know you are going to Hosu City to face Stain and do not bother trying to avoid the truth." She receives a astonished look from the boy before moving on, "If you go against Stain, you are asking to die. Ingenium would not go on a streak of revenge because it is pathetic. Just focus on your internship, alright?" Izuka starts walking back, leaving Iida behind. She seriously hopes that helps. By the time she gets back to the the class, everyone is there. Aizawa decides to start his speech.
"Alright, you guys know the rules. You can't wear your hero costumes out in public or use your quirks without permission. Don't die and get out of here." Aizawa bluntly explains as he starts walking off. Shinso walks over to Izuka, giving her a quick hug before she can protest and runs off next to nods to everybody before getting on her train to her internship. Izuka is going on an internship not recommended by All Might and she is doing this just out of curiosity.
Flashback
Izuka was called to the teacher's lounge during lunch to find Yagi waiting for her on the couch.
"Izuka! Please, sit down. There is something that has come up." Izuka does as asked, sitting across from him. She can see him getting nervous, "You have gotten another internship offer. It's from my old mentor who wants to test you. He knows about me wanting to pass One for All to you, even if it's just a copy. However, I wouldn't recommend it very much."
"Why not?"
"Because he is harsh! He would tear you apart!"
"What is his name?"
"Gran Torino." Izuka recognizes that name because he is considered one of the fastest heroes in the world. His quirk is Jet, which is the soles of his feet let him move around like a jet. Speed is the main thing she needs to work on because she has to take down somebody as quick as possible if it involves her quirk. He doesn't sound too bad in Izuka's book. Something she needs.
"I will go to him."
"Did I seriously just encourage you to go with him?"
"Yes. "
"I will get your grave ready."
Izuka is at the address with her case with her suit in one hand and her legal staff in the other hand. She knocks on the door to find no response. She notices the door unlocked and the opens the door, revealing a normal house with a short(Izuka can say that for once) old man on the floor in a hero costume covered in what is presumably blood. Izuka knows better.
"Sir, I know that is ketchup and I can see you still breathing. Furthermore, there is no mark on the body indicating someone hurting you or you coughing up blood due to how it is spread around." The old man, presumably Gran Torino, stands up, looking over her.
"Smart kid, I'm already underestimating you. Too bad you ruined my trick." Izuka shrugs. She doesn't feel sympathy, " What is your name?"
"Depends, are you looking for hero name or my actual name?" Izuka bluntly.
"Both."
"Izuka is my name and Karma is my hero name."
"Karma, huh?" Izuka can tell he is smarter than he acts. " Anyway, get your costume on, we are going to test you out. Your room is upstairs, first door on right." Izuka nods, going upstairs to change. She has changed a couple things to her costume since last time. First, she now has a quirk-resistant vest under her body suit. The second is she added a watch for the time for one main reason she rather not talk about. The final is instead of metal wrist-bands, she switched them to scarves similar to Aizawa's scarf but on her wrist so she can bound anybody without using her quirk. She comes down within a minute.
"Dang, you're quick. Anyway, we are going to fight and see how well you do!" Gran Torino immediately blasts off, bouncing off the walls. Izuka turns on her air-bending quirk, staying still to predict his movements. Then, she senses him approaching. She actually feels him quicker than most people because his quick is creating such a wind gust. Izuka flips to the side her kicks the air above him at an angle, sending him crashing on the floor. She then hears clapping. She turns off her quirk and faces him.
"I'm impressed! No one has ever been able to dodge me and make me go down within the same move. I assume you're using the same trick you did with...what his name, Iida?" Izuka nods. "It's that strong?"
"No. Your quirk caused so much air currents in the room that you became predictable. I just needed you to come close to me." Izuka states with a blank look, ignoring the pain from hitting Gran Torino.
"Is air your dominate elemental quirk?" Izuka nods. " So you rely on speed and flexibility too. I see you are flexible with your quirks in ways that I would have never thought of. Toshinori chose well for once. Now, lunch time! Taiyakis!"
"Sure you don't want me to make something?" Izuka asks.
"Depends, what can you cook?"
"Whatever you need."
"Homemade taiyakis!" Izuka nods. Not much better but it's bound to taste better.
"Mind if I borrow your kitchen?"
"Go at it, kid." Izuka looks in the cabinets and finds everything she needs along with a whole bunch of frozen taiyakis. She starts making them quietly. Gran Torino watches, but decides to start another conversation.
"So Toshinori told me to ask you what your quirk is but I don't know why because I thought it was elemental. Is there more to it?" Izuka nods as she finishes the dough, making them into fishes before putting them in the oven for a few minutes.
"That is just to hide my actual quirk. My quirk is called Karma and it lets me judge people and figure out who is good or bad basically. The part of the quirk that my elements come from is a copy quirk. If there is trust between the person and me, I can copy their quirk permanently and power up their own. That is why I'm just going to copy his quirk and he has to find another successor." Izuka tries to explain. Her quirk is over complicated. Gran Torino thinks for a moment.
"How the hell does that work? There is more to it isn't there?"
"Yes, but it is over complicated in my opinion."
"Is that why you look like you are dead inside?"
"Yes. Lunch is ready." Izuka says as she pulls out the pan, sliding it over to him. The Gran Torino takes a bite and Izuka thinks she sees hearts in his eyes as he scrambles to eat them.
"These are the best I have every tasted, kid! Who did you learn from?!"
"The internet."
"Of course you did."
After a couple days of training, Izuka is now more efficient at using her speed to an advantage. Gran Torino also taught her how to limit her quirk use of air but still have speed on her side due to her size. She also had to make a ton of taiyakis for when she leaves to keep the man alive for a little while. They did a speed test and found that Izuka can match his speed pretty well with her glider but for only a couple minutes before she becomes too tired.
"Izuka, grab your case, we are going out tonight." Izuka does as asked with her glider, coming over to him. "Are you allowed to have the glider out?"
"Yes, sir. It does not require my quirk to fly."
"Alright, well, we are going to Hosu tonight to beat up some villains. "
