Chapter 25 Keeping up with the pros

Ojiro could safely say that this was the biggest workout of his life. They were running right of the gate. UA's gates to be more specific. Though it was clear that both Izuku and All Might were taking it a little slow, it wasn't too long for them to find some crime. Ojiro was clearly the one that was out of his depth here but he was absolutely determined to not slow the others down.

~o~

"Quickly, there's a bank robbery in progress." siad All Might jumping down from the roof. Both Ojiro and Demon Slayer followed. All Might landed in the center of the bank. "Halt villains and surrender now."

"OH SHIT, IT'S ALL MIGHT." said one of the robbers. Then out of nowhere came a flash of lightning taking out another robber. "DEMON SLAYER here too."

"Relax there's seven of us and only two of them."

"Count again villain." Said All Might as Ojiro jumped through the window hitting two of them with his tail.

"Another one."

"If he's with them then he must be tough, we better surrender."

"No way. I ain't going down without a fight." said the man as he turned into a semi raptor hybrid. With Raptor claws and a dino tail. He charged at Ojiro. "I'm going to take this one with me."

All Might's instincts told him to jump in but he stopped as he remembered Gran Torino's words. "Hey brat. When you go out there. For every villain you take down those two better take down three you hear. I don't want you jumping in unless absolutely necessary."

"They have to learn themselves."

Ojiro ducked under the dino slashs, even though it was little difficult with the mask mess with his breathing and countered with an uppercut. Followed by using his tail to sweep the legs. Knocking the raptor man on his back.

"Way to go Ojiro." said Izuku before getting punched in the face. Izuku quickly regained his balance as he saw one of the robbers had a blinking quirk. He saw the man about to blink at him again. "Breath of Mist: Obscuring Clouds" As Izuku created a cloud of mist around him obscuring the robbers view making him crash into the wall behind Izuku. Izuku gave the guy one more kick to the head for good measure.

"Get him." said one of the last three still standing as he and another charged but Izuku was quicker.

"Breath of Flowers: Whirling Peach" As Izuku became a spiral of petals knocking both of them out.

The last robber got scared and tried to run but ended up running right into All Mights fist knocking himself out in the process. "Good work you two lets keep moving." He said but some of the other heroes on the scene had some questions about his students.

~o~

One purse snatcher had a really bad day today. First he tries to steal the purse of a retired pro hero, second his motorcycle breaks down while trying to flee and third the car he hijacks to get away has a baby in the back seat. Now the cherry on the ass cake was that the heroes on his ass right now were the number one hero, All Might andthe vigilante Demon Slayer. "How the hell can this shit show get any worse." he yelled while the baby in the back just giggled. "At least you're having fun."

"THERE'S A BABY!" yelled Izuku who was now on the roof of the stolen car, looking through the windshield.

"Yeah you can take it." said the purse snatcher as he his quirk Long Arms to reach into the back for the baby. He then held out the baby for Izuku. "Here take the kid."

Izuku was honestly surprised by this. He'd expect the guy to use the child as a hostage. Though Izuku quickly grabbed the kid as it was now the priority. "Uh thanks."

"Just for the record I ain't a kidnapper." Izuku simply nodded at the guy before jumping off the vehicle. For a moment the snatcher sighed a breath of relief before suddenly he and the vehicle lurch forward. He looked back to see All Might was now holding the car above the ground. Snatcher then scrambled as best he could to exit the vehicle. He landed on the ground with a thud, before staggering to his feet. "Oh come on, this wasn't supposed to happen like this. I'm just a bit of a klepto, can't you just let this side."

"No but you do have my pity." he said as he put the car down. "I can tell you aren't trying to hurt anyone. You even gave the infant back."

"Cute kid, I didn't even know he was in the car when I took it. I just kind of panicked. I'm not the best under pressure."

"Clearly. Now how about you come with me."

"Yeah yeah, hey whats that." he said pointing to the roof. All Might didn't even look away but the snatcher still tried to run. Though he was caught off by Ojiro. "Long Arms" he yelled as he tried to hit Ojiro with his arms.

Ojiro was having a hard time moving with the breathing mask on his face but he would have to be under some sort of drug to get hit by those arms. Ojiro dodge them but instead of doing some sort of aerial kick he just landed in front of the guy and slightly pushed him down. "Dude just stop." He said between breaths.

Afterwards the police came and grabbed the snatcher. While Izuku gave the baby back to his mother. Though what surprised both of them that the baby wasn't crying at all in fact it just seemed to really enjoy the ride. Izuku came back to see All Might saying goodbye to the reporters. Which gave him a chance to check in on Ojiro. "Hey you alright?"

"This thing is making it really hard to breath. Is this really supposed to help me?"

"Oh absolutely." said Izuku with confidence which somewhat surprised Ojiro.

"Have you done this before?"

"Yep. You just need to match your breathing with the mask."

Ojiro then remembered what Izuku's 'quirk' was. "What did he make this for you?"

"No, he said some woman in Italy made it for her son. So he could practice his quirk."

"Wait, does he have a quirk like yours, if so then how is thing supposed to help me?" he said pointing to the mask.

"Alright boys time to go." said All Might both of them turned to see a horde of reporters chasing him. "Let's get out of here."

~o~

"HOW DARE YOU GET MY DAUGHTER PREGNANT!" said a Robotic dad chasing a young man with leaves for hair. "I'M GOING TO GUT YOU ALIVE YOU LITTLE BASTARD."

"I'M SORRY." he screamed with tears in his eyes. As they continued their chase though the streets causing several accidents along the way.

The robot dad was crashing into everything in his way, while the leaf dude was causing shrubs to appear all along the road blinding drivers as it hit the cars and causing them to swerve out of the way.

"Whao whao hold it." said Demon Slayer as he grabbed the young man and tried to separate the two as All Might stopped the robot man.

"Out of the way All Might this brat knocked up my daughter." said the robot dad, still very angry.

"Okay I hear you so how about we all calm down here." said All Might as he tried to defuse the situation. "If you can't tell you two caused quite a bit of a mess."

Ojiro tried to catch up to the two but he wasn't getting this breathing mask thing at all. He was feeling light headed and was about to take the mask off. He did see that Izuku and All Might were handling the situation. 'I guess now would be a good time to try Izuku's advice and match my breathing to the masks.'

"It was this maniac." said Leaf dude. "He's the one starting this. None of this would have happened if he didn't flip out."

"Flip out," said Robot dad. "You ruined her life, you son of a bitch."

"Both of you stop," yelled Izuku. "You both probably have a lot of things to talk about but you also have all the problems you just caused. Just look." Izuku pointed down the road. "You've caused a lot of damage already so how about you all calm down before you make things worse."

The leaf dude began to feel a little guilty. "I guess you're right, but i can't say the same about him."

"Excuse me." said the Robot dad before getting looks from the heroes. He growled a bit before trying to calm down but he needed to hit something. He then kicked a bench sending it flying right at Ojiro.

"OJIRO." yelled the heroes.

Though the boy didn't hear them as he was concentrating on his breathing. Ojiro was taking deep breaths. 'Deep breaths seem to work well with the mask. I Just need to breathe in.'

"OJIRO."

"Huh." Ojiro then opened his eyes to see the bench flying right at him. It was too late to dodge and without really thinking Ojiro exhaled and punched the bench. To his and everyone's surprise the bench broke into pieces. Though Ojiro would have to admit his fist did hurt he was more surprised by the fact he broke a bench with his bare hands, not even with his tail. "What the?"

"Oh shit, sorry kid you alright." asked Robot Dad.

"See he's a maniac, arrest him." said Leaf dude who was still hiding behind, Demon Slayer.

"I'm going to throttle you." said Robot dad now having to be restrained by All Might.

"Enough." yelled an android looking girl running down the street. "Stop it both of you." She was quickly able to calm things down somewhat. Long enough for the police to arrive and make sure things don't get out of hand again.

~o~

"How did I do that?" said Ojiro as he inspected his hand. It was damaged by the punch but it was broken or sprained, though that's not what Ojiro was shocked about. He was still wondering where that strength came from. He took off the mask and examined it.

'He was able to concentrate his breathing. It may have been for a moment but Ojiro was able to do it.' thought Izuku as he brought a beverage from a vending machine. They were taking a brief break and they found a vending machine by a park with some benches to rest. 'Sensei said that there were people like me who had a talent for the breaths. Could Ojiro be one as well? What other reason was he given the mask for. Sensei did say that it does cut some of the time down getting the breathing right. It could also have something to do with his quirk. His lungs might be deformed to help with the fact he has a powerful tail. If that's the case then the question is how much has it changed.'

"Hey how's your fist?" asked All Might, handing Ojiro a bottle of water.

"It's doing fine, I'm more concerned with the amount of power I was able to put into that punch. I mean where did it come from."

"Most likely your lungs." said Izuku while drinking some tea. "It also explains why sensei gave you the mask. He probably thought this would happen."

"He did?"

"Indeed he did." said All Might. "Right before we left UA I asked Yushiro what the purpose of the mask was. He said that it should bring out more power from your lungs, he said that your tail is able to hold so much power that some of your organs must have changed to accommodate your tail."

Ojiro turned to Izuku. "Wait so I have a quirk similar to yours?"

Izuku thought for a moment or at least pretended to as it was time to lie again. He didn't like to lie."Hey sensei, I got a question, how do demon slayer powers work exactly? It ain't supposed to be a quirk yet I can do all this superhuman stuff, It doesn't make sense to me."

Yushiro was silent for a moment before he let out a massive sigh, he then went and grabbed the big white board. "You ready for the biggest lecture of your life? If not I'm alright with just saying its magic and leaving it at that for a while. This is going to take the rest of the day and maybe even part of tomorrow to explain this."

It was the biggest lecture of Izuku's life. These powers are simple but stupidly complicated. He can't say its magic which would be simpler than the truth, so he came up with a lie that would make sense for today's standards. Weird quirk. "My quirk doesn't exactly work like that. In my lungs are a series of valves that controls how much oxygen gets to my brain. Depending on that and blood flow I can physically pull elements towards me." Izuku took a breath as he waved around his hand and gathered the water in the air around his hand. "Technically my quirk is more psychic based, rather than just my lungs."

"In a way it's kind of like your mother's quirk right. She can pull objects towards her." Pointed out All Might though in reality he was doing his part and covering for Izuku.

"Yeah and the element part comes from my dad... who could breathe fire." said Izuku as he realized that he still hasn't seen his dad in years. He doesn't even know where his dad is right now. Izuku then noticed the concern on his friends' faces. "Oh sorry I kind of got lost there." said Izuku as he got up to toss his bottle away.

Ojiro watched Izuku walk away for a moment. Now Ojiro wasn't much of a gossip but he couldn't deny a part of him was curious. "Hey All Might," he said in a whisper, getting the hero's attention. "So what's with you and Izuku's mom."

All Might's eyes practically jumped out of his skull. He quickly slapped his own mouth shut before looking to see Izuku still lost in thought. "Whatever do you mean, young Ojiro."

"Well you know her quirk and you have been talking to her, not to mention your reaction just now."

"SSSSHHHhhh," shushed All Might. Getting a little too close for comfort. While this close All Might could see the bump on Ojiro's neck. "Look just don't say anything please." 'We need to get those hornets out quick. I need to focus on that now, my love life later.'

"Don't worry I won't." said Ojiro, wondering how Izuku was picking up on this. All Might is clearly not the best hiding thing like this.

"Did I miss something?" asked Izuku

"Uh me and All Might were just talking about techniques. Since I now can do more I might need to think of new techniques for my arsonal." said Ojiro. 'Man I'm covering for a lot of people today. I hope this doesn't become a habit.'

"Oh i have several ideas for that." said Izuku as he took out his phone and opened Ojiro's file. "After seeing you in the quirk assessment test, I came up with a few fighting styles that may work well with your tail. I think capoeira might help along with kick boxing style that's heavy on ground kicks, maybe even some pankration."

Both All Might and Ojiro sat stunned as Izuku began listing different fighting styles and how his tail may be used in them. The amount of detail was kind of scary, to top it off Ojiro has only known Izuku for a week. "Uh thanks." said Ojiro, trying to slow Izuku down. "How in the world did you come up with all of this?"

"Oh it's a bit of a habit I've had since I was little." said Izuku slightly embarrassed. "I actually have notes on everyone in class, I'm still working on the guys in class B. Though I have successfully digitised all my notes on everyone in class A." Izuku then realized that both of them were stunned. "I've been bored and I've had a lot of time on my hands."

"Well, any of that advice sounds good?" asked All Might.

"Uh well all of it," said Ojiro who despite being shocked was quite interested in what Izuku had said, though he still had to figure out Yushiro's advice. "He Izuku, you've known a while right."

"Yeah why?"

"I don't understand his advice he gave me early today. I made a small comment about how some kids back in the day would say the only good use for my tail would be sweeping the floor."

"That's horrible." said All Might. Izuku nodded in agreement. Bullying is never okay.

"Thanks but when I told him I used to use my tail to pick up dirt or when I was young I used to play in the sand box, he was suddenly very interested. He told me that those are the roots I should seek. The ones that move the earth." Both Izuku and All Might gave him a tired expression.

All Might sighed. "What's with old mentors and cryptic advice."

"I don't know." siad Izuku. "Look Ojiro, I don't completely understand the advice either but it will help you. Someway, somehow that advice will help you. It could be as simple as hitting a rock with your tail or an old habit you used to do."

"Hold it, Izuku." said All Might. "You might be onto something there. Maybe something you used to do back when you were a child. It might help you to be a better hero. I know it might sound crazy, but Yushiro has a lot of knowledge and wisdom so something crazy might be the key to becoming a better hero."

Ojiro thought over all the information. 'I used to play with my tail a lot more and hitting rocks with it helped me in the ball throwing test. Maybe something I used to do in my childhood would help. Not to mention earth keeps getting repeated. HHHhmmmm.' "Well I'm not going to figure anything out just sitting here. Let's keep going." he said as he put the mask back on.

"At a boy, let's go." said All Might

~o~

The Bakugo's had just finished a nice meal after Katsuki got down with his extra training that he does every night. Currently Katsuki's mother, Mitsuki Bakugo was cleaning up after dinner. "Katsuki, don't forget to do your laundry. I don't want your room smelling like a barn house."

"I'll get to you hag, mind your own damn business."

"This is my house so it is my damn business brat."

"Now now how about we calm down before we start an all out shouting match." Said Masaru, hoping to keep his family from fighting. Again. "Come on. How about we watch some tv. It's been awhile since we all watched a show together."

"NO way am I seating through another one of the hags rom coms." said Katsuki as he was about to head upstairs to his room.

"Oh come on..."He was about to try and reason with his son when he turned on the tv which showed the news. "Katsuki, I think your classmates are on the news."

Katsuki stopped at that. He went back downstairs to see. "So did they finally let deku out…" Katsuki froze at the screen. He expected Deku, All Might wasn't a surprise, but the last one, as it showed said student fighting some robbers. "WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT EXTRA DOING THERE?!"

"DON'T SHOUT AT THE TV' yelled his mother.

~o~

"WHY, WHY IS TAIL THERE?" yelled Yae as she was kneeling right in front of the tv. "Melissa, how could he do this to us. How could he leave us behind like this."

"Shouldn't we be talking about Melissa's uncle who we now know is All Might." said Yui trying to get the conversation back to the big topic. "To me that's much bigger news."

"That's old news." said Yae "Anyone who has seen both of them and knows they are related to Melissa can figure it out. Izuku ditched us for Tail."

"Yae I think you're overreacting." said Melissa.

"I was under house arrest when you went on patrol with Izuku without me."

"You went on patrol with Izuku?" asked Yui

"Once." said Melissa, getting flustered. "It was one time before school started and it was only for like an hour."

"Don't lie, You got to do something fun." said Yae. "Come on I can't be the only one getting a little envious here. Ochako don't you think it would be great to go on patrol with Izuku."

"Me and Izuku," said Ochako, blushing. "Alone on patrol, together." She then began to imagine them as a superhero couple.

Yui took a sip of her tea. 'Are these two even trying to hide their feelings. These two clearly have a thing for Izuku.'

"I'm missing a good hunt." said Yae, getting annoyed.

'I can't tell if she's angry for not hanging out with Izuku or she just wants to shoot something.' Yae then made some knives and began throwing them at a target on the wall. 'Probably both.' thought Yui.

~o~

"An armored car was just robbed and the police are chasing the vehicle down-"

Bang Bang

"Shut up." said the now driver of the armored car as he shot the radio.

"Jesus man what the fuck. Don't shoot your gun in the car." said his passenger.

"Well instead of complaining how about you start shooting the cops that are on our ass. Come on, how hard does it take to get rid of them. Hurry up and do your job."

The guys in the back were currently firing at the cops chasing them. "Hey we're trying here there's a lot of these pigs here."
They were about to argue but one of the guys in the back began to yell. "I'm fully charged." The man got up and shot rays out of his hands. "Stop Ray." The ray hit the cop cars stopping them right in their place. "There we go."

"If you tell me you could have done that at anytime, I will shove my gun so far up your-"

"What no. It takes at least twenty minutes to build it up and before you say any bullshit. Why do you think the first set of cops didn't chase us."
"That makes sense." admitted the other guy in the back.

"Yes we are home free." said the driver, not paying attention to the road.

Though as he said that the guy in the passenger seat paled. "He should have saved it."

The driver looked down the road to see Demon Slayer on the road in front of them. "SHIT"

"Breath of water: Water surface slash" as Izuku used a water slash, to cut all the tires in one cut. The car hit the ground and skid past Demon Slayer, until it lost its momentum. "Come out and surrender with your hands up."

"Okay," said one of the guys coming out from the back. "You see my hands are UP." as he activated his quirk Launch. Demon Slayer could feel something wrong as he was forced upward into the air. "Have a nice flight."

Demon Slayer gritted his teeth as he used his cloud walk to adjust himself in the air. "It won't be that easy. Breath of Lightning." As he dashed down to the ground at the guy who launched him. The man then launched himself out of the way, but his accomplice with the stop quirk wasn't so lucky as he kicked in the face. "One down three to go." He then noticed the driver trying to flee. Time to try out one of his own moves. "Breath of wind: Blunt breeze." This technique was like a regular air slash but it was blunt so it would cut if it hit something. The Blunt breeze hit the man and caused him to slam face first into a light pole. "Okay now where did-" Izuku then saw a car get launched at him. With one quick slash He was able to cut the vehicle in two.

"My car!" said a pedestrian.

"Oh sorry." yelled Izuku back at the man as he dodged another car. "Time to end this. "Breath of Flame: spark fire." Demon Slayer sent a small wave of fire at the guy to try and scare him. It worked as he launched himself away from the fire. Izuku used this and intercepted him, knocking his lights out. "Alright that's three. Wait where's the last one?"

The passenger of the car grabbed a sack of cash and tried to make a clean getaway. He thought he was in the clear until he was hit by a tail. "Hold it." said Ojiro

The guy got up. "Alright kid you got a death wish. I will fulfill that wish." he said as he took his gloves and jacket off revealing that his arms had turbines on them. He got into a boxing stance.

Ojiro was almost jabbed in the head by a fast strike, he then backpedaled as another punch came his way. 'He's fast.' as he dodged another quick jab. 'Those turbines on his arms allow him to throw quick jabs and hard punches. They may not be good or proper punches but there fast enough to make sure that there are no openings. Unless.' Ojiro took a deep breath and stomped the ground right between him and the robber. The ground cracked enough to loosen the ground under the robber, giving the opening that Ojiro needed. Ojiro gave him a quick kick to the gut causing him to keel over, holding his stomach. "That's enough surrender."

The robber slowly raised his hands before slowly putting them on the ground. "Okay you got-" The robber then quickly grabbed and tossed a rock at Ojiro's face.

For a moment Ojiro was blinded by the rock. He then saw the robber running for it, Ojiro saw that he left the money and thought he should give it back. With a proper slap of his tail the bag was sent flying at the turbine man, hitting him hard. A sack full of bills would hurt anybody.

Though it wouldn't take them out for good. The robber was going to try and run again until he saw All Might standing above him. "Fuck."

Soon all four robbers were being put into a police truck. "Nice work you two." said All Might "You were able to take them out in a matter of minutes. Ojiro, good work handling that last guy and Izuku...Izuku?"

"My baby" cried a man hugging one half of his car. "How could you do this? Would you cut someone else's baby in half?"

"I'm sorry." said Izuku, trying to apologize to the man.

While Izuku was doing that. Ojiro thought now would be a good time to check his phone. When he did he was bombarded with messages from his family and classmates. Ojiro decided to play one of the voice mails from his mother. "OJIRO what's going since when were you able to go out with All Might? Are you okay. You better have a good explanation for this young man. This better be legal, I am not ready for you to get arrested. I don't even think I'm ready for you to be a hero yet." There were more but Ojiro got the message. He also sent a message as well. "Ojiro, don't worry, just focus on what you're doing. You can explain when you get home. Just please stay safe. Also your cousin keeps asking me if you can get an autograph from All Might."

Even some of his distant relatives had sent him messages to get an autograph from the other heroes. Though what caught him off guard was the time. "We've only been at this for three hours. It's felt like twelve."

"You'd be surprised with how time moves when you're doing hero work." said All Might as he checked his phone as it vibrated. He quickly glossed over the message. "It's time. Izuku, Ojiro. We need to move now." 'Time to handle those hornets.'
