Author-kun: Heeeeya. Okay so warning. There will be manga spoilers from this chapter on. So heads up.
No one's POV:
The fight between Izuku and Minoru was intense but Izuku easily proved to be the superior during the whole fight. Izuku held back to try and see all Minoru was capable of and after getting a feel of his abilities he decided to go harder and bring the fight to a close.
"Huff….huff…" Minoru fell to one knee as his OFA shroud faded away. Izuku cracked his neck as he looked down smiling at his shorter friend.
"Not bad Minoru, however your fighting style could be better. It's not bad but it's really...how can I say? Unsynchronized. Like it's half finished." Izuku crossed his arms with a cocked eyebrow trying to figure it out.
"Well to be honest I just wing it and take what I've seen from video games." Minoru rolled his eyes and decided to sit down to catch his breath.
"Aaaah, I see. Well normally anyone would say that's dumb but it honestly wasn't bad. It could really work. It just needs a tad little more form and refinement." Izuku smiled and sat down along with Minoru.
"Hmmmm." Minoru thought about Izuku's words.
"I could help you." Izuku offered. Minoru's eyes got focused on Izuku as he said this.
"Ya know what? Sure pal. Thanks." Minoru smiled and stretched feeling wiped out.
"Hehehe, sorry if I went a little too hard on you." Izuku scratched the back of his head with a nervous smile.
"Naw it's cool. No pain no gain." Minoru smirks and cracks his sore joints.
"Oh phew. Good to know. I thought maybe I went a little far." Izuku smiled and helped his friend up.
"You're a beast man. Who trained you?" Minoru asked, curiously.
"A very kind man. Hehehe, I'll just say that." Izuku said with a small grin.
"Tch, now I really wanna know more, but I won't pressure ya. Sooo...that festival coming up huh?" Minoru quickly changed topics.
"Oh yes, I'm very excited for it. Hey, let's promise to win it together!" Izuku beamed with joy.
"Hehehe, if we can then sure. Let's win together!" Minoru pumped his fist.
"Yeah! Or you know at the very least make sure we face each other at the very end." Izuku said knowing they'll probably be competing against each other.
"That works too. So let's make sure we train each up cause boy we've got some stiff competition. Or well rather I have competition. I have no doubt you'll thrash the others but I gotta get stronger if I'm gonna go toe to toe with Bakuguo or Todoroki. Or if you could take them out first that would be nice.~" Minoru jokes.
"Hahahaha, I see what you mean. Don't worry, we'll get way better before the festival and we will be the finale! One For All and All For One back again for one more fight for the ages! But not as foes….but as friends." Izuku patted the shorter boy's shoulder.
"Hehehe, yeah. I like that." Minoru smiled ear to ear.
"I think I'll head home for today, see you tomorrow Minoru-kun." Izuku said while running a hand through his fluffy green hair.
"Ah, dang. Well okay dude. I don't feel like going home just yet, so I think I'll train here a little more." Minoru stood back up on his feet.
"Ah, well good luck and stay safe! See ya! We can discuss training tomorrow." Izuku smiled and waved goodbye and began to hover in the air.
"Sounds like a plan. See ya. Fly safe, avoid birds and insects." Minoru smirked as he waved goodbye as well.
"Hahaha! I'll be sure to do that! Bye!" Izuku then turned around and took off into the sky.
Minoru chuckled before doing some moves to refine his fighting style.
*Within Minoru.*
"Hehehe, wow. Look at this. I never thought I'd see the day. Never even considered it. One For All and All For One. Coming together as friends. What a sight." Said the spirit of Nana Shimura, former teacher of All Might and 7th wieder of OFA.
"Hahahaha, If this is a dream I better not wake up." Said the spirit Daigoro Banjo spoke up. The 5th wielder of OFA.
"I'm surprised. My brother really raised such a kind boy. It really warms my heart, he may have truly changed." The spirit of Shin Shigaraki spoke. The first wielder of OFA.
"Shin, do you think we can show ourselves to Minoru a bit early? I really like the spirit he's showing and he's progressing so much." Nana asked.
"Yeah, I agree with her. He's got a streak going on. Strike while the iron's hot." Daigoro added.
"Hmmm. Maybe. I feel the same but let's consult with the others first." Shin replied.
"Heh, good. I can't wait to see his face." Nana grinned her goofy smile.
*With Hisashi.*
Hisashi was sitting within his work study room observing Izuku and Minoru through a spy crow quirk. A crow he could summon and who's eyes he could see through. It didn't look any different from a normal crow so it could fly around without suspicion. Needless to say he was pleased with what he had seen. Izuku so strong and full of life and the cute little new OFA baton holder. He was interesting but nothing quite like the previous ones. He was curious to see how he would develop but at the moment Izuku had his full attention.
"Oh Izuku my darling boy. How you've grown. I'm impressed. This Chizome has really been quite the splendid teacher for you. I'll admit I'm envious a little. But don't worry, I'll have more time to teach you from here on. Hehehe...I can't wait to meet him.~ To give him my heartfelt gratitude for turning my son into such a formidable fighter!~...Hmmmm." A thought popped into the man's mind as he leaned back in his chair sipping some red wine.
"Ooooh. I know. We should ALL meet. Me, Chizome, Mineta, and his dear teacher, young Toshinori.~ Oh yes what a reunion that will be!~ I can introduce him to Inko!~ Oh yes this must happen...hehe...it's been MUCH too long my old nemesis. Or former. Hehehe….ahahahaha, ahhahaha! Hahahahahaahahaa!" The former villain howled with his classic renowned laugh.
"Honeeeeeeey! My favorite drama show is coming on! Won't you take a break and come watch it with me?!" Inko's voice sounded off from outside his work study walls.
"Sure thing Honey Bee!~ Be right there! ( But the wife comes first. )" Hisashi got up from his desk and finished his glass of wine before making his way out of his little office and into the living room. Inko met him half way smiling.
"Yaaay." The woman threw her arms around her beloved husband. "Also were you evil laughing again?" She tilted her head.
"Nooooo…" Hisashi's eyes darted off.
"What are you scheming?" Inko's eyes narrowed onto her husband.
"Well nothing illegal." Hisashi sweat dropped.
"Siiiiigh…I won't ask, now c'mon. I need my dose of cuddles and cringey comedy." The green haired woman dragged the man off.
"Hahaha, love you to death. Really. I'd level a city for you." Hisashi smiled holding her hand tightly.
"Oh trust me, I know you would. Without so much as a second thought." She looked back smiling as well.
They both shared a laugh as they sat down on the sofa together and cuddled while watching a sappy family drama.
"Oh yeah. Almost forgot. Get things packed up we're moving. Getting tired of this small apartment. My family deserves an actual house." Hisashi said as he cuddled his wife.
"Really?! So sudden?" Inko was surprised.
"Yeah, got a nice place for us. Don't worry it's not that far away at all. Change of scenery. ( That and all my important stuff is there. Also if I have to suffer these annoying neighbors any longer there will be Hell to pay. )" Hisashi smiled and rubbed Inko's head and planted a kiss on her forehead earning a cute giggle from her.
"Hehehe, well I hope Izuku will be okay with it." Inko was happy but her son's feelings always came to her mind first.
"Oh trust me he'll LOVE it." Hisashi smirked and pulled on Inko's cheek.
*Chomp!*
"Ow!" Hisashi reeled his hand away as Inko bit his fingers.
"Hehehe.~" Inko trollingly giggled.
"Oh you little shit." Hisashi smiled and held his lover closer.
"Issue?" She rested her head on his chest.
"Not at all.~" He sighed contentedly as they melted into each other's loving embrace.
*With Chizome.*
Chizome had no idea how he ended up like this. He was just casually sitting in a cafe in casual wear. A simple black shirt, black jacket with a fur hood, dark jeans and red shoes. He also had on a red scarf as well. He had come here to just relax and think to himself but then suddenly out of nowhere this long green haired woman with green eyes just sat down with him. She said he seemed down so she wanted to cheer him up. He honestly wasn't down, just lost in thought but oddly enough he didn't shoo her away like he would just about anyone else. Her company wasn't so bad honestly.
At first he didn't recognize her but when she told a joke he didn't laugh at, she glowed blue then suddenly he began laughing uncontrollably. That's when he pieced it together. He was in the company of Ms. Joke the smile hero. He had heard much about her and he could tell she was a decent hero. Worth respecting.
"Hahahaha! So after that I got detention for 3 days!~ Hahaha! Worth it! Ahhhh, the old whoopee cushion prank on the teacher. Classic." Emi wiped a pretend tear from her eye.
"How...young to do?" Chizome tried not to say childish as to not be rude.
"Pffff, hahaha! What's with that response?" She laughed.
"Ahem. Sorry, I just never did such things when I was younger." Chizome admitted as he looked down at his cup of tea.
"Hehehe, it's okay. What exactly did you do when you were younger?" Emi asked while smiling and tracing her finger along the outline of her cup.
"That's personal. Sorry." Chizome replied quickly.
"Hey, hey. No issues pal. This ain't an interrogation. You can share whatever you're comfortable with sharing." Emi smiled like a goofball.
"Thank you. Um...sorry, I don't think you've told me your name." Chizome stated.
"Oh crud, where is my mind? Emi Fukukado! Charmed I'm sure.~" She held out her hand like a woman of royal blood would jokingly.
Chizome being the forward and bold individual he was, took her hand and placed a gentle kiss upon it. "Yes. I am charmed." He said as he released the woman's hand.
Emi was shocked to say to least. She hadn't expected him to be so forward. He seemed like one of those stern but shy guys. In fact she was so taken back she hadn't noticed a faint blush crept on her face. Chizome noticed this and smirked seeing her little comedy mask shatter a bit. Her face was a little satisfying.
"Hahaha! Well aren't you the charmer yourself?!~ Hehehe name?" Emi asked with a grin.
Chizome pondered for a few brief moments. Due to his vigilante activities he probably shouldn't say his real name. He was only ever known as Stendhal, which he then switched for the alias Stain. But he wanted to be sure.
"Akatsuki Takao." Chizome gave a fake name.
"Hmmm. Red Moon. Pretty name.~" Emi winked.
"Your name has the kanji for laughter. Fitting." Chizome gave a faint smile.
"I know right?~ Hey, hey. Knock, knock!~" Emi prepared a joke.
"Sigh...Who's there?" The man answered while sipping his tea. He didn't really mind.
"Orange!" Emi snickered.
"Orange who?" Chizome rolled his eyes.
"Orange ya glad I sat down with ya?~ Hahahahaha!" The woman howled with laughter.
"Hahahaha…" Chizome gave a faint laugh as to not make the woman use her quirk on him again.
"Thank you, thank you. I'm here all week!~ Wooo." Emi wiped an imaginary tear away again.
"Well aren't you a delight." Chizome rolled his shoulders with a faint smile.
"Sweetheart. I'm a damn treat and don't you forget it.~" Emi reached out and booped his nose.
Chizome was taken back by this action a bit. Her personality was rather unique to say the least. He truly didn't mind her company. In fact, he actually enjoyed it.
"Hehehe, now how about a joke about a duck and a-" Before she finished her phone rang in her pocket. "Oop. One sec Red.." Emi reached into her pocket to pull out her phone. She seemed to read a text on her phone. "Ahhh, crud. Work calls." She scuffed.
"Hmm. Well a job's a job." Chizome said.
"Yes it is but I LOVE it. Hehehe! Hey talking to you was really fun. Let's do it again!~" She smiled while taking out a pen and pulling up a napkin and began to write something down on it.
"Pardon?" Chizome raised an eyebrow.
"Here! Ring me up later on!~ I'll be waiting!" Emi slides him the napkin that had her number written on it.
"Wait, what?" Chizome tried protesting.
"See yaaaaaaaaa Red!~" Emi then without a word got up and skipped out the cafe before Chizome could protest any further.
He was just left there flabbergasted and confused. "Siiiighh...well. She's an interesting character." Chizomed sighed resting his hand on his chin.
He could tell this was going to be an interesting week.
