Here we go, an update to the series that somehow has over double the favs and follows as all my other stories. Still have no idea how that happened, and to this extent but I'll roll with it I guess.

Exhaustion wasn't something I had to worry about on a day to day basis. Honestly I had forgotten how it felt after going without it for so long. Never again. "O-Ochako-chan. Are you ok? H-how far along are you?" I panted out, breathing heavily as my stamina bar was kept in a perpetual state of empty.

Hell I could barely even run, sure it costs me literally nothing but you try to move quickly while running on fumes and being surrounded by a forest of constantly falling trees while also carrying about 20(albeit weightless) dummy robots. Not very fun I'll say.

"Oh I'm getting there hrk! I'll need a break soon so prepare for those dummies to start weighing you down a bit." She warned me, we've been at this for the past 8 hours, so far over 100 training dummies were accounted for and I've had no less than 30 skirmishes with Midnight which I had to be careful with.

Sure I could beat her in a fight, rather easily in fact, she may have been more skilled than me with that whip but the sheer difference in our stats was simply too much to ignore. That being said I did steal her whip for some practice with said weapon. Also just to fuck with her...She was a playful fighter and I answered in kind ok!

"Incoming sex offender!" Ochako warned me with our nickname for Midnight, solely to piss her off of course, a person never operates at 100% while seething with rage. Though at this point I think she's starting to like it…

"I got it! If you get tired just release your quirk and hide the dummies somewhere until I send her away again." Simple but effective, another thing that was simple would be my opening move which has had a 100% success rate so far.

"Mount Lady has the better ass!" My battle cry and Midnight's immediate indignant rage rang through the clearing. 'Midnight-sensei...You really need to develop thicker skin to this kind of attack' It was a pretty serious weakness, especially when you consider just how public her dislike of the giantess really was.

Not that I really needed to aggravate her to beat her in a fight. But if she got any closer to Ochako then her quirk would knock her out, effectively ending the test for her since she was our 'transport'. This way all her attacks will be focused on me.

"A pathetic harem king like you wouldn't know quality goods if they slapped you across the face! But hey I'm a hard worker, let your teacher show you the difference up close!" Tempting but no, I get away with a lot of shit but I don't think the girls would be too kind if I fell for seduction that obvious. Plus dating my own teacher would be kinda weird, even for me.

'Let's try something new.' I thought, Midnight was heading towards me with her hands lashing out, nails as sharp as claws. They wouldn't do much damage but it would open up my skin. An opening that would make her pheromones more potent. Speaking of which.

Pheromone resistance(E), Level 5!

Yeah that was a fun one to develop. I got knocked out for a good few minutes from that one leaving Ochako alone with Midnight and the dummies...So much lost progress.

Speaking of something new. "Inferno Smash!" I Waved my right arm from side to side at such speeds that the friction mixed with the energy coming off of OFA ignited the air around it. This flame was then fueled by the heavy winds and became a small twister aimed all around Midnight, burning off her pheromones and blocking off any method of escape.

Inferno Smash!(L), Level 1!

Nice! But that wasn't everything, after all the whole point of this attack was to let me get closer for the real finisher! "Colt Delaware Smash!(E)" This attack was far simpler, I just used my thumb as an anchor and flicked my index, middle, and ring finger from both hands rapid fire like a revolver. A simple skill for a simple job and It definitely did it's job.

"Midnight's down, I give her 5 minutes tops before she regains consciousness. If we hurry we might be able to get all these dummies to the extraction point and get this nightmare over with!" After a quick 2 minute break to catch our breath and reset our quirks(and put out the slowly spreading fire) we ended up in a dead sprint with me carrying Ochako and all of the dummies at once.

Luckily for my legs only one of those two actually weighed anything meaning that we could zoom through the constantly falling foliage with relative ease. And with my speed we were able to reach the entrance to ground Omega in just a few seconds, though obviously I couldn't go all out considering I had passengers. 'Note to self, MacGyver some magic shenanigans to deal with friction and air resistance in general'

"*Snore-Gah! Huh? Oh, it's just you two, wow you already collected all of them!" All Might exclaimed, roused from his nap by our arrival.

"So these were the last ones. Thanks for that sensei, we still had all of the north sector to check but now we know we finished an hour early!" Ochako sighed in relief after hearing that her work day was over for now, at least until she has to patrol with All Might later. "Nap time now! If anyone wakes me up a minute early I'm sending them to the moon!"...Scary thing is she probably could.

"Yagi-senpai, what was it we told you about opening your big mouth?" Thirteen's annoyed voice rang out as she emerged from the forest, not amused at how her test ended prematurely.

"Only in the bedroom?" Said big mouth opened again only for him to be forcefully knocked out by a freshly woken up Midnight that appeared shortly after.

"Ignore him, he doesn't know what he's talking about, hey don't you have your internship with Recovery Girl in the next 10 minutes? Well you don't want to be late for that do you? Go on, shoo!" And just like that I was quite unceremoniously kicked out of training ground Omega.

'Rude.' They were right though, never piss off your doctor, and Recovery Girl was everyone's doctor. 'At least for now, I'll make sure to lighten her load soon enough.' Heading over to the infirmary I went over what I was going to say. It was time to tell her about my quirk transference ability but I had to be careful.

Infirmary, minutes later

"An awakened One For All. And with a quirk like yours...I can't even begin to imagine how this will end up but whatever may happen it is guaranteed to cause chaos. Regardless there really is no downside with giving you my quirk, the more healers we have the better." She said all this while slowly cutting off a single strand of her hair.

'This isn't any easier the second time...Bottoms up I guess.' Ugh, old lady hair. Somehow still better than All Might's overly moisturized hair though. "Ok. I should have your quirk any minute no-"

Heal(L) Level MAX Acquired!

"There it is! We can't really test it out right now since nobody's injured bu-" *Crash! The fallen body of Yagi Toshinori broke through a nearby wall, he was bruised, battered, and he had the distinct smell of Midnight's pheromones on him…

"I guess we have a test subject. Let's hope those wounds are just superficial, he hasn't done any hero work today so his stamina should be fine." A quick kiss on the forearm(anywhere else would have been awkward) later and All Might was awake and active again, confused but glad that his successor developed such a useful new skill.

"Honestly this is both wonderful and slightly upsetting. It took me years to get my quirk to work that quickly, and now you get the full benefit of its power all at once." Indeed, I guess that the level of the quirk I take depends on the owner's own level. Good to know.

"Have you read all of those medical texts I've let you borrow? Normally I would ask this months from now but with your supercharged brain I feel that exceptions are more common than the rule."

As a matter of fact I have, they were relatively large but also quite interesting. Not to mention the fact that reading them flat out made my medical magecraft better since I now know the mechanics behind what the magecraft is doing to a better degree.

"Good, good. Here, take these." Recovery Girl handed me an absolute mountain of other medical books, anatomy books and even a few chemistry books all in a neet stack that I was shocked she could carry on her own.

"Read them by the start of summer, if you do so and pass a test of my own making I'll forward you to an official government program for hero medics along with practical medical license distribution. Trust me if you can pass my test then theirs should be a cakewalk. This will also let you practice your own craft without needing to worry about the government knocking on your door!" That sounded like she had a similar thing happen to her… Best not to question it.

"Well don't just stand there, you're done here for now. Hurry on to that young Mirko's agency, it's rude to keep a lady waiting after all. Even the tomboys like her." Was that resentment I heard in her voice? Either way she was right, there was no point in making her wait, might as well come over early.

"Ok. Thanks again for the new quirk sensei! See you later!" I took a moment to analyze what just came out of my mouth. "My life has become so weird."Oh little green you have no idea

Minutes later, Tokyo Metropolis, Mirko agency

"I guess this is it, I don't know what I was expecting but this wasn't it." It was just an apartment building. Of which she lived in the penthouse suite, that was it. No big agency, no helpers. Just her.

"The solo hero Mirko, makes it even weirder that she sent me a request, well no point wasting time." Heading up to the top floor I have just enough time to realize that I was about to meet an extremely attractive, aggressive, and notoriously battle happy pro hero.

"I'm going to get kicked in the face the moment this elevator door opens aren't I?" Apparently I had some talent for divination since as soon as the door opened a pair of rather large feet directly struck my face at what I could only guess was over 100km an hour. Thankfully I was semi-prepared for it so it ended up just costing me a few dozen xp without actually pushing me back much.

"Usually I'd wait to ask for foot play until the 3rd date but if you want to start now I'm down." I quipped as Mirko slowly removed herself from my face, a raised eyebrow and a manic grin on her face.

"Well aren't you a ballsy one. Not many guys have the guts to say that to me, then again not many guys could take one of my full powered kicks without even flinching. Color me impressed kid!" She complimented, grin never once faltering.

"Thanks! And sorry for that comment, I've been fighting Midnight-sensei on and off for the last 8 hours and innuendo fighting has kinda been the order of the day those times." I explained, blushing slightly at what I said. She brushed it off though.

"Even better! Any guy that can keep up with that crazy old hag for that long is worth fighting with. Speaking of which you're probably wondering why I went out of my way to intern you, right?" I nodded, yeah it came as a surprise for me, but after this first meeting I could take a wild guess.

"I saw you at the sports festival. Your power caught my interest, so this is how this is gonna go. You and I are going to fight, when I win, depending on your performance I'll teach you some of my moves. And if by some miracle you win, well, we can do whatever you want for the rest of the week. Sound fair?" It did actually, well at least in this case.

For any other student. Barring Todoroki or maybe Kacchan. It would have been an unreasonable request, no ordinary student could take on a pro, let alone such a high ranking and powerful one.

But I was no ordinary student. So as we walked upstairs I prepared some magical shenanigans in advance, just in case. I needed to test run these things somewhere after all.

Minutes later, roof

"Ok, remember the ground rules kid. No huge punches like at the sport's festival, and no leaving the roof. That counts as a ring out. Ready?" I nodded, though I did have one request.

"I'd prefer if you called me by my hero name. Or just Izuku if you prefer." I came up with that name for a reason, and since my internship has officially started it was only right to be called by it.

"You'll earn if you can actually land a hit. Ready! GO!" And with that she bounced off the floor, flew behind me and used the wall there to launch herself at my back. Of course my DEX being what it was I was able to keep track of this relatively easily. Now, how to respond?

Charging full cowling at about 15% I grab Mirko's foot centimeters away from my face, from there I aim a punch at her torso which she manages to dodge narrowly while kicking me in the face, freeing herself from my grip and taking a few steps back.

I smile at her. "Why do you insist on keeping such distance from me? After all whether it's from where you are now-" I sprint towards her at my current speed limit, careful not to cause too much damage with the resulting sonic boom. "Or at point blank range, either way I can reach you before you even rea-" I was kicked in the balls immediately after she realized what happened.

-500 'D-damn, guess that's an instant c-crit!' I was left stunned for a bit after that one.

"...You are one tough son of a bitch. And stop quoting Aizen! It's both creepy and it just makes you sound like an ass, you don't have the voice to pull it off!" After realizing that I was more than quick enough to keep up with her, along with being tough enough to take her hits her grin grew wider and her assault got faster, sticking to small quick hits while keeper herself just far enough away to avoid my reach.

"Fair." I mumbled while carefully dodging her attacks while batting away those that came too close. They wouldn't do much damage but with the speed that they were coming at me it would add up quickly. 'Time to try out that new trick.'

I was still in 'playful battle' mode when I should have been in, 'end this quickly' mode, Mirko was completely different from Midnight in terms of combat. Pulling out a piece of parchment paper from my pockets I channel some of my own prana into the paper as a spark for it's magic circle. There came the fun part.

The circle contained the following runes: Reversed thuriaz, reversed Ansuz, reversed Raidho, and twice reversed Wunjo. Four simple runes, but reflected on their x-axis to release the opposite effect of what they usually did. And since I was using my own prana to do this I didn't have to add in the 2-4 extra runes to power the thing so they were infinitely easier to scribble out quickly.

As for what each rune did, that was equally simple. Thuriaz represented a truth, and the ability to see it, it's reversal represented stubbornness and blindness to the truth. Not exactly accurate but good enough to target Mirko's aggressive style of fighting.

Ansuz represented wisdom, it's reversal represented trickery, and failed communication. An added layer added to make sure that Mirko's instincts didn't get in the way.

Raidho represented a journey. It's reversal turned this journey into an unpleasant and/or unexpected one, considering that we were on a rooftop you can see where this was going.

Finally there was Wunjo. Good fortune, peace, harmony, serenity. It has a number of positive meanings. As you can imagine it's reversal flipped the script, but the result I was specifically looking for was a bit more specific. Reversing the symbol once on it's x-axis gave it the quality of friction. Doing it once more, this time on it's y-axis while focusing on the friction element it gave the circle a quality of anti-friction.

The results were equally hilarious and dangerous.

"N-Nani?!" The moment she kicked off the ground for another assault her foot slipped on the floor as if it were made out of butter, Newton's pesky third law also came into effect and she started sliding off to one side of the roof. A roof with no real barrier to stop her if she fell.

She tried to pick herself back up but it was all in vain, in fact each attempt only sent her closer to the edge faster than the last. All the while I just calmly walked towards her. "Sorry to say but none of that is going to work. This little trap effectively works off quicksand rules, the more you struggle the faster you'll fall. Don't worry I can always catch you on the way down. Or you could just surrender?"

Was I adding fuel to the fire? Yes. Did I expect her to surrender? Not really. Was it fun to do? Definitely! That's my boy!

"You cheeky dickwaffle, what is this?!" Hearing that struggling would only make it worse did little to stop the raging bunny. Thanks to the runes it only made her rampage more. "Just how bullshit is your quirk! This shit basically no-sells like, half the pro heroes out there!" I see her point, melee types in general would have a hard time with this though it isn't as strong as it looks.

"There are a few weaknesses to this technique. Obviously I won't tell you them just yet. About that surrender?"

"Fuck off!" Was her elegant reply.

"Rude"

Just a few seconds later and the pro heroine found herself falling several stories, of course I caught her shortly after but she still had a bit of a fright from that, she'd probably survive but nobody, other than All Might, could get away with that unscaved.

"Are you ok?" I asked her, making sure that nothing went wrong either with the mundane fall or with the earlier magic.

"Yeah yeah I'm fine… And what the hell was that? It wasn't on your file, or maybe it was I skimmed through the damn thing. Size of a fucking dictionary." She muttered the last part, far too close for me not to catch it.

Before answering I activated full cowling and kicked myself back up the building Kacchan style. It was a lot trickier than it looked. Reaching the roof I rip up the parchment paper that was still on the ground first and then let Mirko stand on her own.

"Do you want the full explanation, or the short version?" The long one involved a dive into subjective theoretical subjects pertaining to ancient languages so I was hoping for the latter.

"The short version." Oh thank god!

"Essentially I can use magic based on runes, or at least this is the easiest way for me to manipulate the energy source in my body to act in certain ways." I show her the ripped up parchment paper, runes still on the page.

"This one in particular casts an effect on the surrounding area based on how much energy I put in. It removes all friction from a set area, manipulates a target's mind to be more reckless, said target being chosen ahead of time using specific runes. And it also manipulates probability to make tripping and falling more likely."

"You said you were gonna give me the short version!"

"That was the short version." My best flat face at the ready. There was a reason that his file was as large as it was.

"...Whatever, I don't care anymore. Dirty trick or not you won our fight. What do you wanna do?" She dropped the subject and wanted to get my request over with.

"I'd like to patrol around Hosu and spar for the most part, I have an interest in learning your fighting style or a variant of it. I've already mastered standard boxing so it would be nice to have a leg bases style along with it." Both styles would merge into my Jeet Kun Do eventually, but for now they were better off as separate styles until I could incorporate both of them into a combined style.

"Hosu? I can do that but I'd ask why. And you want to learn my fighting style? fine by me if it means I can fight you again without bullshit magic getting in the way!" Hearing the tentative agreement I tell her my reasons for sticking around Hosu.

"So you think your friend is going to do something stupid that might get him killed by the Hero Killer? Tsk, your file said something about you being a genius and as far as we know this would match up with that psycho's pattern so I'll believe you." Well that was easier than I expecte-

"But there's a catch, I'm pretty damn sure you could take on most villains and win at this point, but I'm still your mentor. If we do end up finding Stain and fighting him I want it to be together, sound fair?" I never thought otherwise, what was the point of having a hero mentor if they didn't fight alongside you?

"Good, oh and to avoid any legal bullshit later on consider yourself allowed to use your quirk whenever shit hits the fan. Don't abuse it and don't tell anyone that I basically gave you free reign we should be fine." ...I'm starting to like her more by the minute.

"Well, with that out of the way lets start off with some sparring, I know a nice place close by where we can fight that doesn't involve a 30 meter drop!" She's going to hold that over my head for a while now isn't she? Oh well, that just means I have to beat her the old fashoned way to show that I don't need magecraft to fight my battles for me!

And there we go, this chapter turned out much longer than I expected but that's fine. As a quick warning I'm going to be changing jobs along with taking some tests for college applications(in the medical field if you were wondering) so my schedule is going to be a complete fustercluck for a few weeks. So if there's a shortage of chapters this month now you know why.

Anyway I hope you all enjoy and wish you all a great day!
