Chapter 5: Fun with kids and an unexpected guest arrives
.
On the next day's morning after taking up Kota and Eri as his students of martial arts, Izuku realized he must work much harder than before he did.
First, he had to prepare his little sister to training and for that he had to get her Gi, although that was easier to done than he thought.
"Is it okay Eri?" asked the boy from the girl, who currently was in a long-sleeved, cherry pink clothes, her shoes were red like her belt. On the contrary, he was in a green one, like the child's, with dark green shoes and belt, he also wore a similar colored bandana. A martial arts headband including white kanji's making the words: Green Dragon Master.
"I like it." said shyly the asked, she became much more cheerful after meeting with a song sang by a girl, this was the Hero Too and Eri's first and favorite song. From that song she smiled the first time and god, it was adorable. Izuku needed a lot willpower to not faint from her cuteness.
"I never thought the first choice will be the winner." commented the teen.
.
After breakfast, the greenette took Eri to his bonsai tree garden for something, she was curious, because he didn't reveal anything about that. Before they started, Izuku started to talk to her.
"Eri-chan, now we'll work on your Quirk control and start your practice with it too. To be big and strong like me, you also need to know how to wield your Quirk. This is a time when my knowledge about them comes very useful." he explained to her their new activity.
"But my Quirk. It's a curse." countered the quickly saddened girl.
"No it isn't." the boy even faster kneeled to her for a hug. "It isn't a curse. Having none is actually far worse."
But I can't control it and I made a man disappear when it showed up." she told him a new info.
'Quirk-Destroying Drug put into bullets and she accidently killed her father when her Quirk manifested.' thought the greenette quickly before he replied to her. "You don't have to be so afraid. We are here to teach you to use and control your Quirk. This is something I can help you the most, unlike others I know the most about it and I also figured out how it's work." reassured Izuku his sister from her fear. Then he asked. "Do you need to touch something to work?"
"Uhm. I think yes." she replied.
"Perfect! That's why these small trees going to help us. Your Quirk is Rewind, with it you can heal injuries, cure diseases, cancer, which is probably much worse, restores someone into their prime, recover them back to perfect health, de-age someone to be younger, undo an effect of something, be it a drug, Trigger or even a Quirk. You can affect body, Quirk, mind and anything that lives, be it a person, an animal or a plant. You rewound that unlucky man before he ever could be born, before he could exist. This is the state before life. Because you can't live in pre-existence, you die. This is how it works. Don't worry Eri-chan. I'll teach you to use your Quirk and you can use it to help others. Do you want to do that?" he explained her Quirk's capabilities and he asked her opinion.
"I want to help others like you." she answered.
"In that case let's start. We'll use this bonsai tree first, we've got some others to be used too if you accidently made it to disappear. Hopefully we won't be out of them first." Izuku said.
To Eri's surprise, her Quirk Usage Lesson went easily, the boy was surprised on that too, they only needed to use two trees, because she made one to be disappear.
"Time is like a watch, it always goes forward, but sometimes this can be changed. Like your Quirk, normally Saturday follows Friday, but you can make it work like if Friday follows Saturday temporally. If you focus on the something you want to change, you'll only change that. It isn't that difficult as someone might think. You did well, now let's give this tree's leaves back." taught the teen his sister as she rewound the test subject's leaves back, now it was green and clothed in it, beforehand it was naked and had no green, just the bare wood.
"I did it. I can use my Quirk." Eri was happy from the new knowledge, she could control her Quirk! She could use it. At least on plants. But she could use it! And she was full of joy, like her brother.
"Until you're unsure about controlling it, you can wear gloves if you want it." he told her a helpful alternative of leaving her hands bare, making to touch something safely.
"I don't need those now." she replied now cheerfully.
.
On the day at the girl's and Kota's first lesson, they had some time before the given time, so Izuku could work on another armor in the Armory Tower. He wore clothes like the ones from the previous day, just in inverse colors minus the underwear.
The little child curiously watched as the boy worked on a suit, this one was mainly bright yellow and its "muscles" looked very bubbly, yet strong looking, it was also red in some places and the helmet's mask or visor had a bit smiley face like appearance. She also played with a rubber ducky, one of the toys Izuku "previously" owned. She liked the shape of it, it was chubby, cute, smiley, just like the plushie of Fat Gum, whom she also liked among the Heroes. The armor was as tall as the fifth one.
"Huh, I didn't expect you this difficult to be made." commented the older sibling to his younger one and continued. "This suit is the Agile Aegis Armor Model 7/Poseidon Line Mark II, an underwater armor like the previous one, it made working in the deep water, it can move like a very fast submarine and has some extra capabilities which make it a better choice than its predecessor and I'm working on some special items for it. Now I need to get a name for it." he explained to his sister.
"Rubber Ducky." said suddenly Eri.
"Rubber Ducky?" asked back quizzically the teen.
"Rubber Ducky." she exclaimed as she held up the toy and continued. "Your armor is similar to it."
"Oh." quickly the boy realized what about she is talking. "So, would you like to name it with this name?" he asked from her after he quickly compared the bathing toy to his suit mentally, they were both chubby, bright yellow, had smiley face and used in water, albeit very differently. "Because from now this is Rubber Ducky, my seventh suit." declared the boy and the first to be named by Eri.
.
After lunch the older Midoriya prepared the Training Keep's dojo like training room for the group of five including himself as the kid's teacher.
He was in his Gi and Eri was in hers as they stood in the middle of the mat waiting for the others: first the Shimano brothers arrived, and Kota followed them.
"Good afternoon Midoriya-san." greeted the sibling pair the teen.
"Good afternoon Midoriya-sensei." said Kota.
"Good afternoon." greeted Eri the other three.
"Good afternoon and I'm not adamant to be called as Midoriya-san or Midoriya-sensei." told them Izuku.
"But you're older than us and you're our teacher." pointed out Mahoro.
"Katsuma, Mahoro, next to me is Eri. She is my younger sister and she'll joins to us like Kota-kun. They're younger and less experienced than you two, so they'll be taught at a different level because you started earlier. Eri-chan, the siblings are Mahoro and Katsuma, the latter is the younger." said the oldest at present.
"Nice to meet you. He is Katsuma and I am Mahoro." introduced themselves the older girl.
"Nice to meet you." replied the younger girl.
"Alright everyone, what I am teaching, and practicing is called Midoriryu. This is a mixed martial art in the core, dependently on your skills and discipline, I might teach you a more difficult and dangerous art called Quirkpoint Combat, this is based on pressure points, but its goal is to cancel Quirk Factor temporally. The former has multiple key parts to be learned: punching, stabbing, blocking, dodging, deflecting, kicking, grappling, throwing, holds and other miscellaneous moves. Martial Arts are dangerous and can be deadly depending on the moves you're utilizing. I won't teach you to kill, however, I'll teach you to defend yourself and others without using your Quirks, as well to use some weapons for this purpose too. Never forget that the human body is one of the most dangerous weapons ever produced by history. It's an arsenal of deadly parts of anatomy which can kill someone. If you want to specialize in a style, it's your choice. No one will be forced or enforced to pick a fighting style, this is your choice, I'll might assist you or encourage you. You'll be surprised on the fact the Midoriryu is simple to be learned with the right view of mind. The goal of this art to earn a victory over someone better than you, be it in Quirk, skills, strength, speed or durability. Flexibility is important; therefore we are using Training Droids in different body build as well sparing with each other. There rules that you must follow: every spar is allowed by my permission and you use combat as a last resort in a dangerous scenario, every training regimen change must be asked from my side too. If you want to train your Quirks too or include them in this, you must ask me. I am might be not an official Quirk Analysist, however, my skills are as good as an expert one's. For your safety we'll using martial arts gloves to minimalize the damage you might cause by punching someone or using other hand related moves. You'll also wear a protective headgear until you'll be more familiar with different impacts. For weapons we're using dummies until you'll be familiar with them if they're sharp or roped or chains. Don't be hard with each other or with yourselves, you've just started. When you want, you might be taken to a tournament, but only if you want, because I won't take you there any of those unless you are interested to show your skills in hand-to-hand combat with other students from other dojos. Did I miss something?" explained to them the rules and major things the teen and Kota raised his hand to ask. "Yes Kota-kun."
"Is this training includes defending ourselves from those who use Quirks in combat?" he asked the greenette. The youngest boy wore a white, karate Gi with a black belt, it was originally his father's previously. Not that the child's teacher had any problem about using different martial arts uniform, he didn't enforce any rule about being uniformed.
"Yes, this also includes that. Quirkless people are very rare, unlike the Quirked. However, the basics of combat are still used by them too." replied Izuku as Katsuma rose his hand and he turned to him.
"Can we use the Weight Belts?" he was curious about using those too, he wore his dark blue Gi with a red belt, if he borrowed from Gohan.
"Yes, you can if you ask me. Those are for training your body, if you want to make yourself stronger than the average, those will help too. I've been using mine as early as I made it." answered the oldest boy and turned to Mahoro, she had a question too. She wore a similar Gi like her brother, but her belt was cherry pink.
"When we can spar with Kota or Eri?" she asked from her young teacher.
"It depends on their growth. I'll know by seeing that through practice." he replied.
"Okay." she was relieved, she heard about nasty masters before, luckily, she and her brother met with the greenette teen, who was probably perfect and very kind.
.
They were in training when they received visitors, although none of them noticed, it was Jack and he was accompanied by a tall girl, she had a long, black hair and onyx colored eyes, her physique was also mature for her age. She wore a red sweater and blue trousers with red shoes.
She saw the training five and she was surprised to find that the eldest one was the teacher, who was most likely in her own age. Currently he instructed the kids to do roundhouse kicks.
"Izuku!" suddenly the girl's guide shouted and the greenette turned to them, also the children followed his example.
"Kids, he is my uncle. His name is Jack. Uncle, they're my students if you didn't meet with them previously, Katsuma and Mahoro, they're the Shimano brothers. Izumi Kota. And Eri, who is my adopted sister. What can I help you?" introduced them the boy, not detecting the girl yet.
"She is Yaoyorozu Momo, her father asked me after a ball to help him to find a good coach, who would help her to enter U.A. She needs some help in H2H combat, maybe some in Heroics and in Quirk." he explained as he introduced the young lady.
"Nice to meet you Yaoyorozu-kun. I am Midoriya Izuku." greeted her the male teen as he bowed, and she bowed back.
"Nice to meet you Midoriya-kun. Your uncle told me you're great in these subjects. How much I should pay for your lessons?" she said.
"Pay? I don't need any payment for helping someone. I have three pupils for free already. You don't have to pay any yen from learning some things from me. However, I don't know how long you might stay." he replied.
"I'll stay before the week of the U.A. Recommendation Exam, which is at the time with the Entrance Exam." revealed to him.
"Wow. I'll go for the latter. Hopefully I'll get in." said the boy.
"I already showed her room in the Midori Tower and she might be ready to start an early training if she wants that. Her room is next to yours." said Jack to the teen duo.
"This Foundry is a large complex for someone like you." noted the girl.
"True, but I am assisted by several AI units and a lot of robots alongside the security system. Those are for the safety of people who would stay here. I'm just making things here like a bored engineer. Nothing special." told her Izuku.
"Can I join into your training?" she asked from him.
"Are you sure? I'm teaching Midoriryu right now." replied the greenette sheepishly.
"Are you kidding with me?" Yaoyorozu was surprised on the reveal. "The only one who could teach it is the same person who founded the whole art. I always wanted to learn it from its master. Although I've been practicing by myself." she revealed to the young master.
"What? I never thought someone would be interested." he was shocked on the news.
"Honestly, this is the only martial arts I am learning besides kendo." told him the girl.
"I need a drink after this." commented the shorter teen and after recovering from the shock he asked her. "Did you bought something to train in?"
"Yes I did. Midoriya-san already showed me the locker room." Momo replied.
"Alright, then what are we waiting for? I'll instruct the kids as you change, and we can start your training and continuing the others'." declared Izuku.
After Yaoyorozu's fast change of clothes she entered the training room in her crimson red Gi with an onyx colored belt, her Gi was sleeveless, like the Shimano siblings. Following that the oldest teen retold his training starting speech and they started training, although the children resumed theirs.
.
Finishing their training Momo was changing clothes in Mahoro's company, the older girl was remembering back into the things she learned from the greenette. He was a kind although quite strict teacher to them.
"Yaoyorozu-san? Yaoyorozu-san?" tried the younger girl to call her, but not to avail until she tapped the statuesque stunner's forearm. "Momo!"
"Oh! Yes Mahoro-chan?" this brought her back to Earth.
"Is something wrong?" asked the Shimano from the teen.
"No it isn't. I've learned a lot just a single day. Midoriya-kun is a good teacher." replied the heiress.
"That's true. And you haven't seen everything yet. He knows a bunch of things and he is very smart too. I bet he can teach you newer things about your Quirk too." said the child.
"About my Quirk? I would like to see what more I can learn about Creation or its capabilities. I've been practicing with it from the time I manifested it.
"What!" Mahoro was shocked. "You must can create things. My Quirk is just making illusions."
"You're right. But I have limits too." told her the more mature girl.
"I wonder how fast Midoriya-san can analyze your Quirk. I've heard from Eri-chan that he figured out hers from two minimal info very quickly and he taught her wield it very well just as quick." said the child to the teen.
"Is he that good?" asked Yaoyorozu.
"Yes, he is. There are a bunch of times when the locals ask him to assist when a Quirk haywire or a child's manifest to help them. He can do those analyzes instantly just from spectating a bit and on the run." replied Mahoro. "Your Quirk might won't be that troublesome to him because he easily helped Eri-chan with hers which is probably as much hard to learn as yours were."
"He is talented." noted Momo.
"And very humble. He isn't someone to take a credit wholly for something he done. On the other hand he isn't a prideful jerk." said the Shimano girl.
"However, he is taking our lessons very seriously."
"Yep, but he also compliments for our successes or achievements. Plus he occasionally tutors me or Katsuma from a subject when we need, and we ask him too sometimes." revealed Mahoro.
