Chapter 6: 10 Months of Training

All Might knew the moment that his siblings and best friend got involved with everything. They would get involved with EVERYTHING.

Of course he quickly learned that Izuku had some muscle on him. But it wasn't enough to handle One for All yet. But it was good enough to figure out a training regimine.

He came up with one.

However during the first training session which was a beach that was more of a trash heap than anything Hiroki insisted on coming along.

At the same time Izuku was taking trash to a collection point.

Hiroki was chewing on a pen deep in thought.

Both Hosihko and Katsuki came along... and they noticed him chewing on the pen.

"Hey… how long has he been chewing on the pen?" asked Katsuki.

"I don't know… why is that a problem?" asked All Might.

He was answered by Hiroki haven't bitten the pen in half and was now choking on the remains and the ink.

"We need to buy more clicky pens." Was all Hoshiko could say.

All Might just stared at the boy as Hoshiko patted on the back.

"This is normal…" said Hoshiko, "It happens when he gets lost in thought and he doesn't have a clicky pen…"

Whenever he got lost in throught would use pens to pen him think, for most pens he would chew on them. Which often result them breaking and often him chocking on the pen.

Once he had recovered, Izuku knew he had to ask.

"I was wondering… what are we doing exactly?" he asked.

"Well first off… you're not ready to receive my quirk." Said All Might.

"What but…" said Izuku.

"It's more of a physically thing Izuku." Said Hiroki wiping the ink away from his mouth.

"He's right, if you took my quirk as you are now. You limbs would blow off your body." Said All Might.

Izuku was gaping at All Might.

"So that's something we should work into the cover story." Said Hiroki.

"Cover story?" asked All Might.

The three Midoriya siblings and Katsuki stared at him.

"What the fuck is wrong with you?" asked Katsuki.

"We're going to have to explain why Izuku suddenly gained a quirk." Sighed Hiroki.

"I mean so many people know he's quirkless." Said Hoshiko, "Including many of my classmates and friends at school."

"Didn't you reveal to one of her teachers too?" asked Katsuki.

"Yeah Eraserhead… please don't make talk about it…" sighed Izuku.

Hoshiko made sure her brother met up with her homeroom teacher during the cultre festival the year before .

He pretty much had verbal vomit while meeting him and embarrassed himself.

And the teacher ended up walking away.

Though Hoshiko brushed it off saying that it was okay and he was just a grumpy caterpillar.

Though… she didn't explain to Izuku she called him that…

But the point was clear there was at least one teacher at UA who knew Izuku was quirkless.

"I see… I didn't think about that." Said All Might.

"We kind of figured." Sighed Hiroki with a sweat drop.

All Might just laughed nervously.

"But that wasn't the only reason why I chose this place." Said All Might.

He told one of the reason was community service as it was something most heroes had stopped thinking about.

All Might looked at Hiroki, as if waiting to poke holes in the plan.

Hiroki sighed… knowing why All Might was looking at him like that.

"You actually thought about it… " said Hiroki, "That's why I'm not complaining."

"Oh right…" said All Might with a sweat drop.

"I learned a long time ago that you have to think through." Said Hiroki, "You'll make mistakes if you don't and those mistakes can have grave consequences.,.."

All Might didn't know why but in that moment it felt like he was talking to someone much older.

"Hey what's the area that Deku is cleaning?" asked Katsuki.

"Oh I should set up the boundaries." Said All Might.

"You want to clean some of the beach too don't you Kacchan." Said Hoshiko.

"He's got a point." Said Katsuki.

"You don't have to have it look good on your application though." Said Hiroki.

"Why the fuck do you think that's the reason!" yelled Katsuki.

"Come bro bro, you know that the school just makes him look good no matter what he does." Said Hoshiko.

Katsuki rolled his eyes.

"How bad is your middle school?" asked All Might.

"Don't worry I got it handled." Said Hoshiko brushing him off, "Don't worry about it…"

Then Hoshiko changed the subject.

"Also I think the guys would want to join…" said Hoshiko.

"No surprised when they have free time." Said Hiroki with a shrug, "Also heads I'm altering the schedule too… so that there's time for Izuku to practice the various weapons and fighting…"

"Are you sure that's a good idea?" asked All Might.

"My homeroom teacher last year often pointed out that we can't be one trick ponies." Said Hoshiko.

"And having Izuku just focus on punching things like you won't help…" said Hiroki.

All Might sighed at that.

And with that the 10 months until the exam truly began.

But many things happened throughout the months.

After a few weeks of the occasional slam against Aldera JR High, Toshinori couldn't help it anymore and decided to talk to Nezu, the Principal of UA.

"So you wanted to talk about Aldera Jr. High?" asked Nezu.

"Yes… I haven't been hearing good things about the school…" said Toshinori.

"Oh don't worry about it." Said Nezu brushing him off.

"What but…" said Toshinori.

"An alumni of that… school… is already gathering evidence." Said Nezu.

Toshinori knew for a fact that there were only two alumni that he could be working.

He began to sweat.

Nezu was already involved in taking down the school…

Of course the next time he saw Hoshiko (as she didn't go to every time Izuku trained due to many reasons).

He knew had to ask.

"So I spoke to Nezu…" said Toshinori.

"About what?" asked Hoshiko.

"He's the endgame…. Isn't he?" asked Toshinori.

The evil smile that Hoshiko gave him made him shiver.

And it was that he decided to try to stay on Hoshiko's good side.

However that wasn't the only thing…

Occasionally Hoshiko brought her friends along.

The first friend she brought along was her classmate Nejire.

As he was Toshinori at the moment, she decided to ask him a bunch of questions.

"Are you okay! You're really skinny? Do you eat enough?" asked Nejire.

"Can you please let me answer?" he asked with a sweat drop.

"Oh sorry about that." Said Nejire.

He had heard that along with Hoshiko she was one of the top students.

However that wasn't the most award moment that ever occurred during the training.

As one day Izuku was moving a filing cabinet.

"Hey Izuku!" said Mirio suddenly popping his face out of a garbage pile.

Izuku screamed in terror as his sister's crush did that. He ended up slipping because of that.

"Mirio!" he yelled.

"Sorry…" he said completely emerging from the garbage plie.

Izuku sighed knowing that he liked to scare people like that.

He then looked away.

"Gah!" he heard a shout.

Katsuki was on a nearby garbage pile,

"Damn it Tintin! Put your damn pants on! Nobody wants to see that!" yelled Katsuki.

"Oh right!" laughed Mirio who was once again.

"Don't worry I got your pants and the rest of your clothes!" called out Hoshiko.

She gave him his clothes.

"Hey what's going on?" asked Toshinori hearing the yelling.

"I brought over another friend!" said Hoshiko.

Toshinori blinked at the young man in front of him.

"I'm Mirio Togata…" he said.

"He's a hero course student too! But he's in a different class! We met at the exam." said Hoshiko blushing.

"Oh right!" said Toshinori.

"Hoshiko told me about Izuku's latent quirk. I haven't gotten a chance to help out until today." Said Mirio.

"I see…" said Toshinori.

However on the inside he was trying not to be awkward.

Why?

Because to be honest, Mirio was the one that was the top candidate to inherit his quirk.

So yeah… the one that many people felt should inherit his quirk was helping the boy who he chose to inherit his quirk.

But he kept the awkward feelings to himself.

And later on that year it would get a bit more awkward.

But that was for later…

Even so time still went on…

And then one day Toshinori decided to open a box everyone told him not to…

Toshinori was bored one day, it was the middle of the day and he had already used up his limited.

He was warned not to… but he couldn't help it.

So he looked up "Dipper618".

And discovered things about the world he shouldn't have looked into.

It was during a session that focus more on Izuku's other skills that he couldn't help but to stare at Hiroki.

The skill for that session was his aim when it came to grappling hooks.

Hoshiko still swore by them and of course had a pair of them as part of her main gear as a hero.

And of course she was imparting her wisdom to Izuku.

However during this session Katsuki was noticing the way Toshinori was staring at Hiroki.

That was Katsuki finally put together the pieces.

"Oh what the fuck!" he yelled, "You looked his damn conspiracy theories! Didn't you!"

Toshinori coughed up a lot of blood.

Both Izuku and Hoshiko heard this. With Izuku misfiring his gun and hitting Katsuki in the face.

"Damn it!" yelled Katsuki.

"Sorry Kacchan!" cried Izuku.

"You get a free pass this time…" growled Katsuki.

Toshinori on the other hand was blushing.

As was Hiroki.

"Look… everyone has hobbies.,.." said Hiroki.

"But those message boards?" asked Toshinori.

"I'll have you know I'm one of the leaders on those sites…" said Hiroki.

"He is considered one of the saner ones…" said Hoshiko with a shrug.

"But that one theory about Wash…" said Toshinori weakly.

"I have my reasons for that one…" said Hiroki, "Though the rest of the forum is to blame… someone really shouldn't have made that Pokémon crack…"

"And that one about Mirko." Said Toshinori face palming.

"I don't have to explain myself." Said Hiroki.

"Though I do admit that that thing about me was wakeup call…" sighed Toshinori.

He hadn't realized that many people had noticed…

Granted a bunch of online conspiracy theorists are the best people to notice due to the fact that one would pay attention not them…

But still…

Some of the things that he never realized.

Like how before his injury he would occasionally take selfies in grocery stores or something… and they all dried up when he got injuried.

"I have to start doing that again…" he did have to admit to himself.

"What is up with that guy who keeps claiming everyone's a lizard person by the way?" asked Toshinori with a sweat drop.

"Don't pay attention to that guy… he's a troll but he hadn't done anything to kick himself kicked off any of the sites… so he comes up with how a certain hero a lizard person and brings up proof." Said Hiroki.

"What happens when the person has lizard traits?" asked Toshinori.

"You don't want to know…" said Hiroki wktn a sweat drop, "Also don't go to forums again… just please…"

Even so the clean-up parts of it… were making things actually rather nice for the beach as when summer roll around things were actually added swimming.

Of course there were other things going on that time… like Hoshiko taking the previsionary license exam and she passed.

"I'm so much closer to being a hero!" said Hoshiko as they had a dinner to celebrate with the family.

During those months Toshinori had gotten close to the family to meant that he got invited.

It helped that Inko insisted that once a week he'd come over to dinner as she was getting recipes for food he could eat.

"So… Shooting Star…" Toshinori referring to her hero name.

"Oh you know… my name means star child…" said Hoshiko trying to brush it off.

The reality of the reason why she chose that name was that she knew she had to carry it on… even if in her past life her role as the Shooting Star failed she felt it was best to still use.

Plus having that be her given name helped.

Hoshiko… also had a celebration with friends the day afterwards.

There was a festival being held.

As it turned out, there was a was stall where mini pigs could be won.

"No way! History is repeating itself…" whispered Hoshiko.

"What?" asked Amajiki.

"Hey I know you like pigs…" said Mirio.

Actually it wasn't a secret… everyone knew she loved piggies.

Especially since it was her "first word".

"Are you going to try to win me a pig?" asked Hoshiko.

Mirio laughed.

He played the game which was somewhat difficult, but thanks to some skills he's been learning from a hero he's been interning with.

"So choose a pig!" said the person running the stall.

Hoshiko saw a particular one with some adorable patches over its eyes.

"That one." She said.

"Mirio picked it up and gave it Hoshiko.

"Hey… Hoshiko… this is going to sound weird… but… do you want to try going on dates?" asked Mirio.

"Wait…" said Hoshiko.

"Hey… it's fine if you don't want to say yes… and you don't want to ruin our friendship…" said Mirio.

That was Hoshiko hugged Mirio shouting "YES!"

"It's about time." Sighed a girl in their group of friend name Yuyu.

"You noticed too… huh…" said Hiroki.

"Good job Mirio…" sighed Amajiki.

"All right Hoshiko!" cheered Nejire.

"Wait…" said Mirio.

"I've had the biggest crush on you forever! I just never said anything because I didn't want to be a creep!" said Hoshiko.

Mirio blinked, that was something he wasn't expecting.

As while he didn't have a crush on her as long as she did (as it devolped during their first year). He was surprised.

"I guess Sir was wrong… I didn't need to win you a pig…" said Mirio.

"Huh?" asked Hoshiko.

As it turned out the hero that Mirio had bene learning under had accidently used his quirk to act a wing man.

He was meant to use the quirk for something else but ended up seeing the him asking out Hoshiko, her saying yes and told him about it…

"You know... what is your mom going to say about your new little piggy?" asked Yuyu.

"Oh… huh…" said Hoshiko.

Thankfully she figured out the perfect way to get her mom to say yes.

"Mirio won me this pig! Her name is Boo-boo and I love her! Don't take her away!" cried Hoshiko.

Inko could only sigh at this and thankfully the apartment allowed pets…

However there would also be the first official date.

As their father wasn't around, Mirio looked at Izuku and Hiroki as if expecting a "If you hurt her" speech.

Both of them knew what he was expecting.

"We're not expecting you to hurt her." Said Izuku.

"What?" asked Mirio.

"You're a really nice guy." Said Hiroki., "I don't see you breaking her heart."

"Yeah, we figure if you do break up it's because of hero work." Said Izuku.

"Oh…" said Mirio.

"Also chances are Hoshiko would beat you up better than either of us could." Admitted Izuku.

Mirio sweat dropped at that one.

"Sorry…" said Izuku .

"it's fine…" said Mirio.

"Are you ready?" asked Hoshiko who was in a rather sparkly yet pretty sweater and a matching skirt.

"Oh yeah!" said Mirio.

As they left Hoshiko looked at her brothers.

As if saying "You better not have grilled him."

Then she saw the looks on their faces.

Hiroki just shrugged while Izuku nervously laughed.

She realized it meant they didn't grill him.

She pouted a little.

Sometime during the fall Toshinori was a little worried.

Not because Izuku was running himself ragged but he was half expecting him to run himself ragged.

"Well he's been training for years… so he knows his limits." Said Hiroki, "Also we've been keeping an eye on him."

"What do you mean?" asked Toshinori.

(Flashback)

Izuku looked around the classroom noticing everyone was focused more on the assignment.

He decided to get out a grip exerciser that he's been hiding in his desk to find it was missing.

He looked at Katsuki who held it up.

(Different Flashback)

Izuku wasn't able to sleep so he figured he could lift some weights.

"Put the weight down…" said Hiroki.

Izuku sweated and knew his brother knew.

(Different incident)

Izuku started to leave the house.

"Sorry Izuku… you can't leave for a run…" sighed Inko, "I know you want to do extra training but you'll just wear yourself out."

Izuku sighed knowing he couldn't do that to his mom.

(Different Flashback)

Hoshiko just looked at Izuku and then bapped him using Boo-Boo.

"No!" she said.

Boo-Boo just sniffed him.

(End of Flashbacks)

Toshinori just stared at Hiroki who shrugged. He knew they would let him do extra sometime by hauling trash outside of the his designated zone, but he didn't think it was that much they stopped him with.

He looked at Izuku training.

"She's still further along than I initially thought he would be…" said Toshinori.

"That's good…" said Hiroki.

"I'm still planning for the day before the exam." Said Toshinori.

"Still a few months away." Said Hiroki.

Toshinori nodded.

Over the course of the next few months they counited training.

Until it was the day.

Izuku was screaming on top of a pile trash pile that was remvoed from the beach and was waiting to be picked up.

Toshinori looked at and saw that much the beach was cleaned.

"Holy Stinking Super Crap!" he said se he turned to All Might.

Izuku nearly fell of the trash pile.

But All Might managed to grab him.

"Great job Zuku!" cheered Hoshiko who was also there with Hiroki and Katsuki.

All ran towards him.

He had developed quite a bit of muscle during the 10 months.

"You do have quite a bit more muscle than when you started." Said All Might showing a picture of a shirtless Izuku in the bathroom screaming.

"Wait! Why do you have that photo!" said Izuku.

"I might have asked your sister for a before picture…" said All Might smiling nervously.

(Flashback)

Izuku just finished taking a bath and managed to get his pants on thankfully.

That was when Hoshiko kicked the door open.

"Surprise!" yelled Hoshiko.

"Hoshiko! Get out!" yelled Izuku.

Then she took the picture.

"Why did you take a picture!" yelled Izuku.

"You'll understand later!" laughed Hoshiko leaving.

Izuku just sighed at his sister.

(End of Flashback)

"Well…" said All Might.

He had gotten used to the odd dynamic to the Midoriya family by this point.

He then plucked out his hair .

They all knew he was offering his quirk to Izuku. All of them watched in awe.

"Never forget Young Izuku… you have put in all this work through the out months. And while you did have plenty of help, you still pulled through… and you have plenty to show for it."

They all looked at the beach expect for the pile he stood on it was mostly clean.

"I mean…" said Izuku.

"Come on Izuku… we might have helped outside of the boundaries but you still did most of the work." Said Hoshiko.

"Yeah…" said Izuku blushing a little.

"Now… eat this!" said All Might handing him the hair.

Izuku just stared at the hair.

"What…" said Hiroki and Hoshiko at the same time.

"The fuck?" asked Katsuki.

"In order to obtain my quirk he need to eat some of my DNA." Said All Might.

Izuku sighed as he ate the hair which was painful and gross.

Katsuki started laughing.

"That is some straight up stalker bullshit right there!" he laughed.

Hoshiko gave Izuku a bottle of water.

As he did… Hiroki looked at the water.

"Wait… if he has to eat something with you DNA, why did you just drink something and then have Izuku drink the backwash…" said Hiroki.

All Might froze.

"Well this was what my own mentor did… and well… I guess it didn't occur to me." said All Might embarrassed .

"So you ate someone hair too." Said Katsuki.

"Yeah…" said All Might still embarrassed.

Once Izuku recovered from the grossness.

"I don't feel any different." Said Izuku.

"It has to disgust first…" said All Might.

"Oh yeah… that makes sense…" said Izuku.

"So you think you ready for tomorrow?" asked Hoshiko.

"I don't know…" said Izuku .

"You better fucking be…" muttered Katsuki.

"Yeah…" sighed Izuku.

And with that the training was over and the next day would be the exams.

And hopefully Izuku with or without the quirk would be able to pass.

Next Time: It's time for the entrance exam. Will Izuku be able to use his new quirk during it or will he have to rely on his skills he trained for since he was a kid? Find out next time!

A/N: 2 things: Mirio/Mabel will be rather minor and will be something in the background... but it will be fun whenever it's brought up.

As for the name Boo-boo... it's based on the Japanese sounds that pigs make so it's basically the equivalent of naming a pig "Oinky", so yeah...
