(Three weeks later)

Gunhead flinched at the loud thump that came from the training mats. He watched as a boy with brown hair and gray skin crumpled to the ground, unable to move as he tried to catch his breath. One of Gunhead's medical personnel came up from the side and onto the mats to pick the boy up before taking him away to make sure he didn't have any injuries or a concussion. This left Gunhead's newest (favorite) student, Izuku Midoriya, alone on the mats. The young boy looked a bit agitated upon watching his opponent being removed from the area.

Every day, Gunhead would have the kids pair up for mock fights in order for him to evaluate their forms and fighting styles. The fights were supposed to be tame and ended when one of the students either surrendered or began to cry (Gunhead always had candy on standby in order to comfort them). Overall, he was proud of his students, and thanks to the efforts of Death Arms and Ingenium, Izuku was at the top out of everyone. Although he had noticed the boy had been a bit more extreme over the last few sessions.

For example, he had started going in for the kill during these past few spars instead of practicing and training like Gunhead had wanted. It was easy to see the greenhead was angry, and from what Inko had told him the first day Izuku missed class, the pro hero could see why. Losing a friend, either from death or moving away, wasn't an experience Gunhead was new to, especially in his profession.

"Midoriya and Tanaka partner up. Ito, you go and rest," Gunhead ordered, causing the three to nod. Ito, the gray-skinned boy, started walking towards the infirmary. Tanaka was a boy with brown hair and spikes sticking out of his body, much like a porcupine. He seemed nervous but nodded nonetheless before getting on the training mat with Izuku and getting into a fighting stance. "Ready? Begin!"

Tanaka made the first move, rushing towards Izuku to close the distance. He started out with three quick jabs, two aimed for the stomach, and the third for his face. Izuku dodged to the left then right before ducking under the third. Growling, Tanaka raised his foot, sending a kick flying towards the side of Izuku's head.

Izuku caught it before swiping at Tanaka's other leg and making the child fall flat on his back. Flipping him onto his stomach, Izuku dug his knee into his opponents' back while being careful to avoid all the spikes. Grabbing onto one of Tanaka's arms, Izuku pulled the arm and leg back, not giving him an opportunity to escape. After a minute of struggling Tanaka sighed before using his free hand to slap the mat, officially declaring his submission.

"Kid's got some nice reaction time; I'll give him that," a voice spoke from behind Gunhead, causing the man to chuckle under his mask.

"That he does. He's probably the best student I've ever had," he said before getting punched in the arm. "Ow! I'm kidding Usagiyama. Sort of."

"You take that back right now, old man. There's no one that could replace me," Rumi Usagiyama growled while standing beside the pro. Rumi was a teenage girl with light brown skin, white hair, and two tall rabbit ears on the top of her head. Currently she was a UA hero student of class 1A.

"Whatever you say. So, what brings my second favorite student ever here?" He asked, causing her to gasp.

"Second?"

"You dropped after punching me. Not only did you hurt me physically, but you hurt my feelings too," he said, faking a quiet sob to further his point. The girl next to him merely rolled her eyes. "So, what can I do for you? I assume this isn't a mere visit?"

"Doing my internship, and I'm required by the hero I'm trying to work with to get a letter of recommendation from someone I've interned with. Apparently, I'm too 'extreme' and 'hot-tempered' for them to trust without someone else's say so. Can you believe that crap?"

"Ha ha, yeah. Totally crazy..." Gunhead trailed off, trying not to shiver at the memory from when she had interned under him. He still had nightmares about that villain with three ribs poking out of their chest.

"You're lying," she accused Gunhead with a glare.

"Whaaaaat? Of course not! I'm—" He began, but jumped back as soon as she took a step towards him. "Okay I lied, you terrify me!"

"What? I only took a step towards you!"

"And taking one step is all it took for you to put that rhino villain into a year-long coma!" he exclaimed, causing her to huff and roll her eyes. "Face it Rumi, you're scary."

"Hey, I can be just as fluffy, loveable, and all that other bullshit like All Might and whoever else."

"Oh yeah? Prove it and the recommendation is yours."

"Gunhead! No other kid wants to be my training partner. I think I scared them off," Izuku said as he made his way towards the pair. He was completely caught off guard when the rabbit girl picked him up.

"Listen kid, are you scared of me?"

"Well…you're a stranger who just picked me up for no reason, so yeah a little." Izuku nodded.

"How about a deal? I take you out on a date in, like, 16 years and you say I'm not scary. Deal?" she asked, causing Izuku's eyes to widen in surprise. The kid nodded, much to her relief.

"Deal. You're not scary at all."

"Great, now run along and do whatever kids do," she ordered while placing Izuku down before turning to face Gunhead. "See? Told you I'd prove I wasn't scary."

"That's not what I meant and you know it. Plus, that was creepy on several different levels."

"True, but you never said how I needed to prove myself or that I couldn't bribe someone to say I wasn't scary. Classic loophole."

"I…damn, you're right. But just you wait; you're gonna regret that deal you just made in 16 years when he's Japan's most eligible bachelor. That kid's going places," Gunhead warned.

"Yeah, I highly doubt it. He's a kid; he'll forget the deal in, like, a month."

If only she knew how wrong she was.


Here's chap 5, and yes, the deal is still on! I think I'm locking in/locking down the Izuku and Miruko relationship. I think it'd be fun to right.

Idk what lese to add. See ya in chap 6!
