Reward for Pushing Forward with Kindness
Izuku and Cathleen are seen running together through a path with the leaves becoming red and orange and some even a yellow as the season of fall has come, though the boy does appear he could be collapsing at any moment which Cathleen notice very closely.
"Okay kid, let's stop for a moment." Cathleen ordered as they stop.
"But why? I can still keep going." Izuku proclaimed though panting.
"You may say that, but I've been noticing that you're getting tired a little too soon for the past month now. You've been pushing yourself harder than before, more than in the workout plan." Cathleen figured him out.
Izuku flinches of how his heroic master just found him out so soon as he wanted to keep this up for a little bit longer, but he guess that wasn't going to last that long with how Cathleen has been clearly paying attention to him throughout the past seven months they trained together.
"Yes, I've been increasing the numbers slightly for some time now." Izuku admitted.
"What the fuck were you thinking? The whole point of the workout schedule was to ready your body to inherit my power, not to literally break your body!" Cathleen reminded him of the workout purpose.
"Even so, I have to work harder." Izuku clutched his fists.
"Or I won't stand a chance against the other applicants. I don't just want into UA, I want to excel." Izuku stated.
"I want… to be like you." Izuku said looking up at Cathleen with his strong fired eyes.
"I want to be the greatest hero in the world! So, I'll keep on trying until I got what it takes to do that." Izuku said strongly.
Cathleen is touched by his words and the memory of how Izuku about what kind of hero he wants to be for the world when they were on that rooftop all those months ago, she can feel her heart racing for this boy almost like she wants to be claim by him.
"(Whoa, whoa, whoa, what the fuck was that?!)" Cathleen thought shocked.
She didn't expect herself to suddenly find these kinds of feelings to raise up from within her and not sure how to handle this so suddenly, but she decided to figure that out later as she still needs to train Izuku.
"I love that fighting spirit of yours, but there's no need to rush progress. Just go back to doing what we were doing and all will be fine." Cathleen petted his head.
"Alright, if you say so." Izuku said, deciding to give in.
"Alright, I'll be taking this." Cathleen took the metal junk Izuku was carrying during the run.
"Let just take a gentle walk for today then tomorrow is back to our regular training." Cathleen suggested.
Before Izuku could protest to claim that he can still keep going, Cathleen gave him a fierce looks that tells him "Do it or face her wrath" like any angry person would, or even moms when they get angry about something happened around them.
"Okay, we'll walk…" Izuku sighed in defeat.
"Great!" Cathleen smiled as she hands him a water bottle.
The two started walking together through the path with some leaves falling from the trees with the dark green hair boy looking around at the scenery, taking in the moment and started to feel calm in the heart, Maybe taking a little break from the workout is just what he needed.
"By the way, thank you for coming to my birthday months ago. It was really thoughtful of you." Izuku thanked.
"Kid, come on, it was months ago. Now need to thank me again on that now." Cathleen pointed out.
"I know, but it was still so cool that you came on my birthday. I wasn't expecting you to come when you're a Pro Hero." Izuku stated.
"I just thought of showing you how I appreciate how hard and well you've been doing on the workout." Cathleen scratched the back of her head and blushing.
But then Izuku spotted something in the distance that appears to be one large looking animal woman with a little girl next to her, both looking down and sad like something just happened to them like they could use some help.
"Cathleen, those two look like something happened." Izuku pointed at the two women.
"Sure does and knowing you, you wanna help them." Cathleen grinned; he nods with a soft smile.
"Okay, let's go what's about." Cathleen shrugged as she too wanted to help those in danger.
"Oh dear, what are we going to do?" The short girl asked worry.
"This is all my fault, if only I have been more careful." The tall foxlike woman cried a bit.
"Excuse us, is there something wrong?" Izuku asked getting their attention.
"Yeah, something happened and—Wait, I recognize you from the news months ago. You're that boy who tried to rescue that girl from that slimy villain!" The short surprised to meet that boy in person.
"Yeah, that's me." Izuku blushed of being mention by that, even when months passed some people, mostly the females, still know him from that incident.
"You're really becoming unforgettable, are you?" Cathleen teased.
"Oh, so you're him! Your hair looked a bit fuzzier from the TV." The tall woman commented.
"Miss Fox, had something happened to you and this little girl?" Izuku asked.
"Oh yes, something that I may have caused. My name is Ippan Josei, by the way." Ippan introduced herself.
Ippan a very tall, fox-like woman with a curved figure. She has blonde hair that just reaches her shoulders, a single strand of which goes down the right side of her face. She has large blue eyes with bushy eyelashes and pointed ears, along with green fur and a white furry underbelly. She wears an orange buttoned-up shirt with yellow-orange buttons and pockets on both sides of her chest, as well as black pants with a yellow-orange belt. She wears a wristband of the same color on both of her arms, along with an orange headband that seems to resemble a pair of earmuffs. She also wears orange and cream-colored slip-on shoes. Breasts sizes: K-cup.
"(Aw, a cute giant fox woman.)" Cathleen thought giggled.
"For your information, I'm older than I look, about 21 one. And the name's La—I mean, I'm Manami Aiba." Manami revealed her name and felt a little offended of being called a little girl.
Manami is a very short young woman with quite a large, round head, compared to her narrow body. She has raspberry pink hair, which she wears up in two high pigtails, wide and thick at the top and thin at the bottom, the ends curved upwards to the sides at her waist, their edges trimmed straight. She has a single bang in the middle of her forehead, swept pointedly to her right, and very large, pointed-down eyes with dark rings on the underside of each, two longer eyelashes to each far side, which take up most of her face. Her irises are oval-shaped, pink in color, and each has two circles between their small pupils and their rims, giving them a rather hypnotic look. She also has dark circles around her eyes. Her outfit is quite elaborate, consisting of a big white bow at her neck, matching the thick gloves she wears, an indigo shirt with large buttons and long, upturned frilly sleeve cuffs, and a pair of white, pinstriped pants which are very poofy, making her legs seem bigger than they are. She sports several heart motifs, such as heart earrings, heart-shaped buckles on the two thin, golden belts around her waist, and a wide heart design over the tops of her legs. She also wears dark tights underneath her pants, over which she wears a pair of shiny high-heeled boots. Breasts sizes: L-cup.
"(Wait, she's older than me?!)" Izuku thought gasped in shock until he looks down at her large breasts that he finally notice.
"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to offend you or anything. I promise to be extra careful to respect you appearance and all." Izuku apologized with a bow.
"Easy there, kid. It's not like I was mad or anything." Manami assured, feeling a little bad for yelling at the kid.
"So, the problem?" Cathleen asked.
"Oh, well, you see… I was in a hurry to catch my train, but I didn't see Manami here that I bump into her." Ippan started explaining.
"I was just trying to do some filming to test out my new camera until foxy here suddenly came bumping onto me, and we dropped our stuff over this fence and they landed on that tree." Manami pointed down.
Izuku and Cathleen looked down seeing a large black backpack and a red camera laying on top of a tree.
"Well, it's a good thing they didn't feel through the trees otherwise getting them would've been impossible." Izuku stated.
"I guess, but how are we going to get them?" Ippan asked.
"It's not like we have some rope with us to go down and grab them from that tree." Manami shrugged.
"Actually, we do." Cathleen opened her sweatshirt showing her American theme bra.
Izuku gasp as his face turns red and quickly turns around to avoid looking at her chest of the Goddess, and Cathleen pulled out a long piece of rope from inside her sweatshirt.
"Do you always carry rope inside her clothes?" Ippan asked.
"Sometimes when I do a little "hero" work and when I just do some exercising like pull-ups with Izuku." Cathleen answered with a grin.
"Okay, you tie the rope around me and lower me down to get those items." Izuku planned as he took one end of the rope.
"Whoa, are you crazy? That's a long way down and you could get hurt!" Ippan gasped worry for the boy.
"Why even bother with going through the trouble for two women you just met?" Manami asked.
"Because that's what being a hero is all about. Helping everyone in need to the best of your abilities more than just having a Quirk, it's about showing how much heart you have with your action and kindness toward others." Izuku explained his reason full heartly.
Hearing those kind hearted words struck the hearts of the two women making them feel they are in the present of a powerful man, handsome like a grown man and cute like a little rabbit at the same time.
"(Oh my, it feels like this kid has so much love to give like my Quirk!)" Manami thought amazed.
"If you really want to, then I won't stop you." Manami said blushing a bit.
"Just promise us you'll be careful." Ippan concerned.
"I promise." Izuku promised.
"(This kid, he thinks a lot for the future and focus on the here and now to help others.)" Cathleen thought smiled proudly.
"Okay kid, better make sure that rope is tight on you." Cathleen ordered.
"Right." Izuku nodded as he ties the rope around his waist.
Izuku jumps over the fencing starting to go down to reach for the tree with the black backpack and the red camera, and it's a good thing the rope is just long enough to even touch the autumn leaves.
"By the way, what Hero are you? You look pretty strong and heartful." Manami asked.
This causes Cathleen to flinch from the question though lucky for her almost letting go of the rope though she instantly regain her grip on the rope.
"Oh, huh, just a regular hero for the public and I'm not exactly known much these days." Cathleen lied trying to stay calm.
Izuku keeps going down to reach the tree seeing the backpack and camera as he tries to grab them with his arm going as far as he can even pushing himself a little further with his feet on the wall, but it was no use as they are still a little far from his reach.
"Cathleen, I can't reach them from here! Can you swing me closer?" Izuku asked loud.
"Sure, just be sure to hold on tight and get ready to grab them when you're close." Cathleen nodded.
"Oh, I can't watch!" Ippan covered her eyes, worry that something bad might happen to Izuku.
Cathleen started moving the rope forward and back with Izuku swinging on the rope to match with her movements, he gets closer and closer with his mentor lowering the rope some more until he was able to reach for the two items with his hands.
"I got them! I got them!" Izuku alerted showing the items in his hands.
"Pull me up!" Izuku called out as he places the backpack on his back and held the camera close.
"Wow, he really did it." Manami impressed of this kid.
"He's okay? He's okay! Oh, thank goodness!" Ippan relieved as she uncovered her eyes.
"Okay, I'm pulling you up!" Cathleen pulled up Izuku, but accidentally used her super strength to make him come up higher than the three women.
"Oops!" Cathleen realized of her mistake.
Izuku fell back down about to crash into a tree, but quickly got the backpack to shield it and the camera with his body as he came down breaking through the branches and land hard on the ground as he groans in pain.
"Izuku!" The three women hurried to the boy.
"Are you okay, Izuku!" Cathleen asked worry.
"Don't worry, I'm fine and I protect their stuff." Izuku said showing the items being okay.
"You idiot! We were more worried about you then some dumb replaceable stuff!" Manami stated in a scolding tone.
"Yes, what if you have gotten really hurt and be sent to the hospital?" Ippan asked.
"Well, it's a hero's job to make sure everyone is happy whether the task will be painful or not." Izuku smiled handing the backpack back to Ippan.
"And I would gladly hit the hits to protect everyone's smiles." Izuku added giving Manami's camera.
"Wow, you really are something." Manami chuckled smiling.
"He sure is, which is why I'm training him up to be ready for the UA entrance exam and get into the Hero Course." Cathleen mentioned shocking the two young women.
"UA High School?! That's the craziest thing I ever heard of?!" Manami gasped.
"But I… I believe you'll get in!" Ippan said shocking Manami some more.
"You've already shown what kind of hero you want to be and it's amazing, I want to see your debut and become your biggest fan!" Ippan decided with excitement.
Well the big fox woman wasn't wrong about seeing Izuku being brave to go through the length of even getting hurt to be a hero for everyone, and started to see herself like a fan for the kid.
"Eh, why not? I'll be rooting for you too." Manami decided to try give him some support.
"Thank you, I promise to do my best!" Izuku nodded, smiling wide that he got support from these women.
"Well then, we better make sure to get through the training to get yourself fully ready for UA!" Cathleen determined more to help out her successor to the best of her ability.
Izuku felt a little more confident in himself when meeting two new potential new friends after helping them get their stuff back, and wants to work even harder to make himself stronger to become a great hero. But not too hard like Cathleen pointed out earlier.
(Nighttime, Cathleen's Home)
Cathleen is seen having dinner alone in her suite apartment of the city, thinking of how strong that kid has in his soul and a big heart to help people even when it doesn't involve him which are the great traits of being a hero once he gets into UA.
Speaking of UA, there are some concerns in her mind about the school being literally full of girls and some might even try to get in his pants for "obvious" reasons which brings up an idea.
"Okay, time to call in UA for a special request. I just hope he doesn't give me a lecture for disturbing his teatime at this hour." Cathleen reached for her phone on the table and start making a certain call to someone she knows who could help ease her worries.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The training for Izuku is going great even though he has been pushing himself too hard during the training sessions, but he was able to help two young women to get their stuff back and made quite an impact on them.
And before any of you ask, I thought of making La Brava big on the chest because she's cute and one of my favorite female characters of My Hero Academia, the idea for the size is from Komoe Harumachi from Eiken.
