We are going to see a training sequence in the next chapter, from Midoryia's perspective... him versus Tsubaki in actual combat so you are aware of the skills in this Izuku's wheelhouse...
Izuku Midoryia could not beleive his luck, it had been six months since he started training with Allmight and Tsubaki and boy had it changed everything. For one he felt and looked stronger then ever, his body having gone from skinny and frail to strong and powerful. He had muscles where he never expected to find them, his coordination had skyrockted and he had a much greater pain tolerance... of course that last part was from fighting Tsubaki everyday and getting his butt kicked six different ways each time. She was holding back too, which only wounded his pride and made him want to work all the harder.
There were other improvements, like he now had a friend in Tsubaki, his first real friend in so long. She sat with him at lunch, trained with him daily, met his mom and even stayed the night at his house a few times. It was unexpected but she was really coming out of her old shell, which made him realize that she probably was getting a lot out of their relationship as well. She seemed happier and that meant the world to him... she smiled a lot, which made her go from model perfect to almost godly. It was amazing to him to see, to watch her be that happy.
In his effort to celebrate that, he started to write down a report on her powers, he was pretty proud of it. She was his hero, though he would never be able to manage to tell her outright. So he treated her like a hero in his mind, analyzing her skills, powers and talents like he would any other hero.
Tsubaki
Quirk- Rebound.
This Quirk allows Tsubaki to absorb Kenetic energy through contact, magnify it and redirect it. She can sense potential and kenetic energy in people around her as well. This quirk can be used to magnify her strength to levels comparable to All Might's if presented with enough Kenetic energy, rendering her immune to recoil or any physical damage. She can apply the power to others, to objects to make them gain sudden momentum.
She is skilled in MMA and Kickboxing, and is an excellent teacher for both. She has been training for Six and a half years in these skills giving her a serious edge, both using her Quirk in coordination with her combat skills and in cases where her Quirk is not useful such as Capture. She learned to master these skills as her raw strength, even without her Quirk, is great and with it is fatal.
Weakness: Sharp objects, mental or sensory attacks, energy based attacks as these are not effected by Kenetic energy to the same degree or at all.
Potentail Weaknesses- If she touches someone for too long, she can siphon their kenetic energy and kill them.
Personality- Driven but Quiet, she can be ruthless and rude towards anyone even people more powerful then her. She is smart, ambitious and protective...
"How'd you figure out that part?"
Midoryia shrieked, leaping into the air as Tsubaki's voice erupted from behind him. He turned, holding his chest in horror and trying to close his robe as his friend looked at him with deepest amusement. "Why'd you do that?" He gasped at her.
Laughing, she sat next to him. A breeze from his window, since he was in his room, let him know where she came in from. "I told your mom that I wanted to scare you, told her I would climb in through your window. Listen."
They both were quiet, and heard Inko laughing hard. Izuku frowned at the door. "Not funny, Mom!"
"Yes, it was!" She called back. "I am so glad you brought her home."
Tsubaki grinned at the door. "Love you too, Mamadoryia!" Chuckling, she turned back to him and put her finger on the page he was writing on. "If she touches someone for too long, she can siphon thier kenetic energy and kill them. How'd you figure that out? I've never told anyone, even you that."
"I guessed, I mean I've seen your Quirk in action for six months. It works through touch, it makes sense that you could take it from people too."
"I've actually killed someone with that power you know?" She said it with such flippancy that it left Izuku confused. "When I was seven, my father beat me badly. He hated my quirk, the whole family did. I was the first Quirk user in the family and my Quirk developed later then average. I was six when it started, not four like most people. My dad choked me, I think he was trying to kill me. My powers surged badly and it stopped it heart, I took the energy moving it. My mom freaked out and attacked me... I let out a scream and all of the power rushed out, it nearly killed me actually. The whole house crumbled. My parents both died then."
Izuku's heart broke for his friend, he wanted to hug her but he knew it was a bad idea. "Is that why you live alone?"
"No foster family trusted me when they heard the story. I applied for emancipation and was granted it on the condition that I maintain schooling and consider using my Quirk as a hero. I think they were afraid I'd become a villain." She smiled at him and kissed his nose softly. a common gesture for her. "My Quirk is why I kiss you so often, I can't hug or touch for too long. I can't do handshakes or anything like that, but a soft peck coveys great emotion and is too quick for my Quirk to siphon much energy."
"I never saw Quirks as so... dangerous to people." He looked at his feet, imagining the power of One for All and what it might do for and too him. "I guess I always saw them as too perfect, hero worshiping them a bit."
"I get that but all Quirks have drawbacks, trust me. Even that idiot Bakugo has some for his Quirk, I know that for a fact."
He nodded slowly. "Kaachan is powerful."
She frowned, scaring him slightly. "Why do you call him that? It's a term of endearment and he is nothing but evil. He's even attacked you, many times from what you've told me."
"I ugh... I'm not sure." he wracked his brain, trying to figure out why the hell he did that.
"Try and stop putting him on a pedastal, he's a bully, braggart and general douche. Look at him like he really is. it might help you stand up to him some day." She smiled viciously. "Personally, half of the reason I am training you is so you can beat his ass with pure combat, no quirk. You've got a serious talent for combat, you've picked up MMA and Kick boxing seriously fast. If we can get some Akido and grappling type moves in you, you'll be unstoppable. Bakugo won't know what hit him."
To his shock, Izuku laughed at that. Not sure if he couldn't believe he'd be able to beat his old friend and bully, or if he sort of enjoyed the mental image of rising victorious over his abuser...
Either way, he liked the thought.

Four Months Later
Tsubaki died laughing as she stepped foot on the beach, watching Midoryia scream ontop of a pile of garbage. It was so like him to overreact, only it was a tad hot to see the ripped boy covered in sweat even if he wasn't her type. She turned to see All Might, who was gaping at the lack of overall garbage, the beautiful and pristine beach open and clear and clean all due to Midoryia's hard work. It was a wonderful sight.
"Hey, hey, hey... He even cleaned outside of where I told him to! Seriously? There's not even a speck of dust left! Seriously?! Oh my... Oh my...goodness!" he grew muscles and said the last part out loud.
She laughed more, at least until Midoryia started to fall and naturally she blasted forward to catch him, which she did easily. The boy's beautiful face was filled with rapture, even as she quickly let him down as to not drain his kenetic energy.
"I did it, Tsubaki, All Might... I did it."
"Yeah, you surprised me, you entertainer! Teenagers are amazing!"All Might, who had caught up to them, raised a phone to his face, "Here, take a look."
On the phone's screen there was a familiar picture, Midoriya tried to process what he saw, "This is..."
"It's you, ten months ago." All Might finished the sentence. The crying boy in the picture looked small and scared, completely different than the one standing in front of them.
"You were so skinny, now your kind of sexy Mr. Izuku." She enjoyed his blush, it made her entire day. "We are so going to dominate U.A. When we get in."
"The mirage of it is finally just barely visible, but you have certainly become a suitable vessel!" All Might declared as he widened his arms.
Midoriya smiled a wary smile and looked at his shaking hand, "I feel like I'm cheating...You both did all this for me... I'm too blessed..." his voice was choked from tears.
All Might laughed and patted the boy's shoulder and teased, "We'll have to fix those leaky eyes of yours. Now, it's time for the award ceremony, Izuku Midoriya!"
"Yes, sir!"
All Might plunked one of his golden hairs and hold it up, "Something that you receive because you're lucky and something that you are given because you are recognized are different in essence. Take that to heart. This is power that you earned because of your own effort." All Might turned to her, frowning. "My dear, would you give us a moment in private. There is something I need to speak to him about, something only for his ears."
Frowning right back, she nodded. To her shock, she had gained a lot of respect for the man over the last Ten months, watching him train her now beloved friend day in and out, in all types of weather. She felt like she almost liked him. "Fine... just... don't be late, Izuku. I want to fight you when you've mastered your Quirk, whatever it is." She kissed him, full on the Mouth this time, making him blush a deep red. "Now, hurry up and get your cute butt moving."
With that she turned away and shot off, desperate to get to the Exam as soon as she could, eager to get into Hero school and watch her friend do that same.
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was fun to write.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
