Deku shot awake, sat up and jumped off his bed in one movement. Quickly running into the bathroom for a shower, he heard his mom making breakfast. As he got out, he ran downstairs already dressed in a white T-Shirt with "Suit" written on it and a pair of black track pants. Two days have passed since his meeting with All Might and the meeting with that pile of goo that called themselves a villian. He was excited for his first day at the dojo, to the point where he had forgotten to say good morning to his mom as he started to down rice and egg. He rushed to clean his dishes, as if his quirk wouldn't help him with that and he ran to the door putting his shoes on as he ran out the door, "Bye Mom see you later!," He yelled as he left.
He was excited to be on his way, ready to learn how to fight, or better yet how to protect others. Of course he was wondering, 'What kind of Quirks will others in the class have?' It was a dojo that did specialize in training mutants after all. Anyone could be anything. As he walked into the rather dingy place he was greeted by a teen, around his own age wearing a Gi and a black belt, he had very plain looking blonde hair in a sharp widow's peak, only, it was a combed down version. He seemed very bland except for one thing, a long muscular tail he was swinging around slowly behind him. "Hello, welcome to my family's dojo, how may I help you?," spoken calmly while scanning Deku up and down.
"Yes, my mom signed me up online yesterday. You said your family owned this place, right? You must be really good at martial arts." Deku scanned him up and down as well, especially his tail, wondering what exactly it was capable of, as well as how powerful it could be.
"Oh, so you're the new student? I'm Mashirao Ojiro. Are you a transformer? We don't get a ton of those, but it's fine. How long were you thinking of staying with us and what's your quirk?" As Mashirao looked Deku over again he just couldn't help but think to himself, 'Man, this kid looks as bland as me, but weaker.'
"Uhm yes but, I'm not an emitter I think. I think I'm defined as a mutant, my quirk makes it so injuries I take aren't permanent, but I think it's more like a passive quirk, so... It lets me be like an RPG main character!" Mashirao just blinked and looked at him for half a second before laughing, before slowing down and stopping once he realized this weak and timid boy was serious.
"Really? Do you have levels and stats too?" Deku just nodded and let out a sigh.
"On top of that I also can gain skills by repetition and can use "Focus." I also have a hit point meter that warns me about damage I am taking. I have status pop ups and everything." Deku just look at the boy waiting for his response. Mashirao stepped closer and slapped Deku on the shoulder hard, laughing. One of Deku's hit points went down.
"That really is quite a Quirk. Hell it sounds overpowered alone. What do you mean you can "use focus?" Is it like Mana in other games?" Mashirao stepped closer and pulled deku in, holding him by one shoulder as he lead him around the dojo. Although there wasn't much to see. A few rooms covered in steel with a soft floor padding, a very large bathroom with stalls to fit mutants, a changing room and a sauna.
"Yes although I haven't tried doing anything but moving it around my own body. It takes up my meter just to do that much." Deku laughed nervously as the other boy was basically pulling him around the dojo, until he noticed it was pretty much empty. "Are there any other students?" Mashirao's face went sour.
"You will be the only one, and I will be the one training you. The reason this dojo exists is my family had been martial artists for a long time, and once Quirks started to develop my great great grandfather started to teach mutants using martial arts. The issue you see is that no one needs someone else to teach their kids anymore, when they had the quirk the whole time. So you will be my first student. Ready to work hard?" Mashirao said smiling though the sad thought he had just let out.
"Yes sir!" Deku stated ready to go at it and work as hard as he had to in order to be a hero. He got changed into a gi and got a pop up. Special outfit acquired: unarmed attacks damage increased by 10%.
As he walked out he looked at Mashirao and slapped his face with both hands."I'm ready, but I need to tell you as soon as I put this on I got a status bonus to unarmed attacks, so don't be surprised if I hit harder than I look like I can."
"Okay I will remember that. Also if that works for your hero outfit, that's just broken." Mashirao gets into a ready position with his arms up and legs slightly spread."Punch me."
"Are you sure?! I don't want to hurt you!" Deku said shaking slightly.
"I'm sure, if I got hurt by your little punch, I wouldn't have this black belt on at all. So throw your little punch and then, we will see." Deku threw his punch with all his might and Mashirao just casually threw it to the side bringing Deku along with it. Deku looked slightly distraught. I mean yeah, he had never thrown a real punch at someone, it still hurt that someone was able to dodge his full force punch. He looked up at Mashirao and the teen nodded at him to continue. Deku threw another strong punch at Mashirao, which agains was sent over to the side, this time with enough force to push Deku onto the ground. So they kept at it. Deku kept getting up and throwing a punch only to get thrown by Mashirao. Eventually he got a pop and threw up his hand, Mashirao nodded and sat down. Deku opened the pop up and then saddened at the information.
New Skill: Useless Assault Lv 1: When attacking someone with a higher Strength, Itelligence, or agility, you can make an attack you know won't work almost like a feint. If they counter you can chain this into a dodge. Costs 10 focus.
"I got a weird new skill. I don't know how because I haven't been dodging, but I got a feint into a dodge." He looked around his body noticing he really wasn't damaged.
"I'm surprised you didn't notice that you have been dodging most of my counters. It just lead to you eating dirt instead of a fist. So I think it's time for me to teach you an attack. Do you know if skill books work with your Quirk..." Mashirao helped Deku up and wiped his own brow of sweat. "...Because that would make teaching you the basics really easy."
"Wait do you mean like books that characters can learn if they have a high enough stat? I don't know, wanna try?"*Deku dusted any dust off of himself and stretched. Thinking ' Damn getting thrown around like that is almost as bad as Kah-chan blowing me up.' Mashirao had left the room leaving Deku alone in the room. He laid down flat and stared at the ceiling waiting for Mashirao to return.
Deku opened his eyes as his breath rushed out of his lungs, books being dropped on his chest. Mashirao stood there over him, smiling. "Wake up sleepy head, I went out and made copies of these books from before Quirks were the norm." Deku started to sit up as he grabbed the top book on the pile, 'The Basics of Karate.' As soon as he picked it up a pop up appeared, Would you like to learn this skill? Y/N. Of course Deku picked yes and the pop up changed to Strength required: 10, Vigor required 8. "So what's going on with that book in your hand? You have been staring at the cover for like a whole minute. Don't tell me you can't read."
"Huh, No I can learn the book like you thought, I just need a higher strength and vigor before I can. I have the points to the only issue is if I want to increase them." Deku looked at the book and then decided to just go for it, increasing his strength and vigor to match the requirements. The book turned into a bunch of greenish orbs that then flowed into Deku.

"I guess I know how to fight now, can I try to throw another punch?" Deku got up and stood in position, one foot in front of the other and slightly spread apart. He thrust his arm out at Mashirao and pulls it back before he can counter, Deku shot out a punch from the other side, forcing Mashirao to block with his tail.
"Nice job, but this isn't enough for you to fight with in real combat." Mashirao pat Deku on the shoulder and walked by him, tripping him with his tail. "Gotcha," Mashirao said snickering as he walked by. "Change and head on home for the day." Deku got up and went into the changing room, getting out of his gi and into his everyday clothes, getting the notification, Removing the set will reduce your unarmed damage by 10%. 'That will get annoying eventually. Hell, it already is.'
As soon as Deku got home he yelled out a greeting for his mom and she can hurrying over. She hugged him tightly and he returned the favor. "Mom, I am fine, plus I don't need to go back if you don't want me to. I can learn everything I need to learn here. I would prefer to go there to train but if you really don't want me to, I can stop. Plus my sensi was really nice. He has a huge tail as his Quirk."
"Well I mean if you really want to, and you aren't banged up too much while you were there. Go ahead, but I don't want to see you come home with any broken bones or anything!" Inko Midoriya held onto her son for a little while longer as he hugged her back. She left go and went to finish making dinner. While Deku went into the living room and sat down. He worked on moving his focus around his body, and thought about what he would need as a hero. He thought about capturing villains with chains. He began to think of the focus as a chain coming from his arm. Deku could feel his focus moving in his arm like a snake coiling in his muscles. He got a pop up, Basic Focus Control Lv 2: This skill allows someone to move the focus they use in their body and move it in the air around them, some famous magic users from history would call this mana, or chi. You can now use the first step of emitting focus. This skill costs 1 focus a second to use.
