*Timeskip, Day before the entrance exam* Izuku is now 15 years old, and Katsuki is stronger than he is cannon to keep up with him
"Izuku, we said we were going to relax today!" Katsuki said "Why are we jogging? We are like 10 miles away from home!"
Izuku looks back to see Katsuki sweating, already tired. "This isn't even training! This is just a warm-up, tomorrow is a really important day y'know." Izuku says, not a drop of sweat on his face
"This isn't even our normal route! Where are you going?!?" Katsuki says, struggling to keep up
Izuku stops suddenly and looks back, moving to the side as Katsuki almost runs into him
"I needed to pick up some flame retardant gloves, I was looking at the rulebook for the exam and they are allowed if they help your quirk, Should have thought of this ages ago."
"Oh wait that's allowed? I could have sworn it said no quirk enhancers." Says Katsuki
"Nah, since these don't actually make the quirk stronger, but let me use stronger flames it's Technically a loophole, I called Nezu and he confirmed"
Izuku looks and looks around before seeing a building that catches his eye.
"Takumina Hatsume, Hero inventory, That's the place. (AN, couldn't find a real name so I made one,Takumina means skillful) I read online that this place sells hero stuff to the highest bidder, but I feel like I shouldn't need that much money, I've got about 15k yen on me, hopefully that should be enough"( about 150$ USD)
KNOCK KNOCK
Door opens to reveal a girl no older then Izuku himself with pink hair and oil, dirt and what looks like steel shavings all over her "Uh, did you need something?" She asks
Dumbfounded, Izuku stares in shock at the girl. "Uhhh, are you miss Takumina Hatsume?" Izuku says cautiously
The girl stands up straighter and opens the door "Nah, that's my mom, My name is Hatsume Mei, Can I ask what you need?"
Understanding hit Izuku like a truck "Ahhh, I'm here for a pair of Flame retardant gloves, that can take over 10,000 F of heat, I need them to use my quirk properly without recoil." Izuku said
"Yeah this guy gets blisters and burns on his hands all the time, sometimes it prevents em from training" Katsuki supplied
"Are you here for something too?" Hatsume asked looking in Katsukis direction
"Nah, Im just here because I saw Izuku working out, and I can't let him leave me in the dust"
"I see, Well here we are" Mei pointed into a dark basement
Creeped out, Izuku and Katsuki looked right at her with confused looks
"Oh yeah, sorry it's so dark. It's part of her quirk. NightBright. She sees more clearly and can focus on more details at a time when she's in the dark" Hatsume explained
Izuku and Katsuki looked down, they understand and reason but still are uncomfortable.
"Can we turn on a light or...?"
Hatsume looked down again and smacked her own forehead "Duh, I totally forgot." she pulled out a remote, but before she pressed any buttons she yelled down the stairs "IM TURNING THE LIGHTS ON, YOU GOT CUSTOMERS MAMMA" she presses a button and suddenly the dark staircase is a highly technical sci-fi movie, with metal and lights in the ground, seemingly to withstand countless explosions, similarly to Katsukis basement.
From behind a large robot, A woman with Pink hair that looks just like Hatsume but taller stands up
"What's up hun?" She says to Mei
Hatsume points to Izuku and says "This guy wants some flame proof gloves or something, can you give him that prototype pair that worked perfectly that was supposed to go to endevor? He went behind our back and had another inventor make his suit" Hatsume pouted
The older Hatsume looked at Izuku confused, She asked "Why would you need those gloves? They can withstand 8,000F Temperatures, what would you need those for?"
Disappointedly, he says "Actually, I need something that can withstand 10,000F, 8,000 would be nice but I still wouldn't be able to go all out." Izuku said
Wait, Takumina thought to herself This boy can make flames hotter then the #2 hero? That's not very likely. Doubt plagued her mind
"Yeah, I Need them to do my best in the UA hero exam tomorrow" Izuku explained further
This is becoming a pain, I could be working right now "Here, test these" She said, tossing the Endevor prototypes at him
"Will this withstand my full power?" Izuku asked
"If you overheat those then I'll make you your own pair, there's a test room another floor down" She says, She walks over and opens another door with another staircase
Takumina was dumbfounded, This boy had Melted the gloves MELTED, No way in hell is this kid stronger then endevor, and by this large a margin, this kid is going places and he asked me for help, I should try to be his personal inventor
"Uh, does this mean you are going to make me a new pair?" Izuku asked
"Yeah, I'll make you a pair, its been years since I made that for Endevor, we have better technology now. But..." Takumina led on "Ill make it ONLY if you make me your designated costume maker, at least for anything technological."
Izuku thought on this for a minute before smiling " I can do that, I have heard really good things about you and your shop, Your daughter, Hatsume Mei also wants to be an inventor right? Is she trying for the support course?" Izuku finished
The older Hatsume looked down to the boy and gave a Sinister smile "Dont you even try to get into my daughter's pants, I will make sure you never get ANY support gear from anyone on Earth" She threatened
Izuku, shocked looked at her with a mix of confusion and betrayal "we were getting along so well" Izuku thought
"That...is not my intention, as a male I can say she is attractive, but not really my type"
Katsuki, on the other hand was laughing his ass of at Izukus face COMEDY GOLD, AND I'VE GOT A FRONT ROW SEAT.
Takumina looked down at Izuku with a smirk "Dont worry, was just messing with you, but you think she's attractive? I have been told she looks just like me, do you think I'm attractive too?" She teased
"Sorry ma'am, I'm really not into older women." Izuku finished, hoping to finally end this conversation and get to the gloves
The older Hatsume roller her eyes and smiled "Yeah yeah, I'll make your gloves, it will take a few hours. Come back around 10pm, they should be done by then."
Izuku looked up and grinned, UA l, here I come!
Izuku had enough time to go home and sleep for a few hours, getting some of that rest Katsuki keeps saying he needs, Who made you my new parent ehh!?!! Haha I'm kidding, love that guy
Back at the shop
"These are the gloves, I made them twice as strong as the prototypes for endevor, can withstand 16,000F, y'know, just in case you get stronger."
Izuku put the gloves on and shot a blast at full power, feeling his strength course through his veins. He had never been able to go all out before without hurting himself. Katsuki stayed at home this time, insisted he needed to help make dinner. Izuku knew that his friend had a thing for the older Hatsume.
"These have been approved already?" Izuku asked
"Yeah, when you have as many connections as I do, legal stuff dosent take that long, you can use them for the entrance exam." she finished
Izuku looked at the gloves before putting them on and thought of flying home, but decided to do a test flight while still underground (I'm imagining the type of fire bending flying they used in Avatar: The last Air Bender)
Izuku puts his hands down, and shoots out his signature green flames...He flys up so fast he hits the ceiling and falls back down on the floor
"That looks like it hurt, like, alot." Takumina said between laughs
Izuku rolled on the floor then screamed in his head, I FORGOT SOMETHING"I'm an idiot." Izuku finally said
"Yeah I know, but tell me why you think so."
"I can't fly at full power, my regular clothes and shoes can't take the heat." Izuku said "Can only shoot blasts in front of me."
"Ahh, that makes sense, when you get into UA, send me a design for your costume, I'll make it all just as fireproof as the gloves." Takumina said
Izuku looked at the woman and smiled, gotta have a reason to pass now right?
"Ok, thanks ma'am, I'm gonna go home and get some sleep for tomorrow."
"ok, but first..." Takumina said "Call me Takumi, you will probably start calling my daughter Hatsume so this works out"
Izuku grinned "Call me Izuku, Takumi."
AN I didn't get as far as I had hoped I would, was hoping to get to the entrance exam but it didn't work out that way. please leave a review if you can! I appreciate it.
