The night had just fallen and it was soon time Iida to finally leave his brother and the hospital. However, he had one final matter to take care of before going back home. One final person to meet and most importantly, thanks to save his oni-chan's career. It took some time for him to find the access to the hospital's roof, as he had to ask the way a few times.
When he finally arrived to the door leading to the very top of the building, he felt a mixture of anticipation and curiosity. He, like everyone else had doubts and caution towards the terrible beast that was Midoryia. However, the act of rescue towards his elder brother and role model made all of them wither away. Of course there was the curiosity about this new form.
When he opened the door, he was... truly left without voice by the sight that greeted him. At the edge of the roof in far front of the door he came in, Stood the the new figure of his bestial classmate : Towering, beautiful yet terrifying, standing tall before an enormous full moon that bathed him in ethereal light. He was an angel of nightmare.
Izuku : You are finally here ? ... I was expecting you...
Iida was taken out of his trance by The Wendigo's new deeper voice directed towards him. His friend had not turned around to face nor did he shown any sign that he had heard him, Izuku seemed to have his gaze directed towards the astral body above them. Maybe if he wasn't so taken aback he could have realized that the moon's size was not normal.
Iida : How did you know ?
Izuku : Your scent is strong... and heavied with raging emotions...
Of course ! How could he forget about Midoryia's incredible sense of smell. It was what saved their class of a terrible encounter in the USJ after all, and it certainly saved Izuku's own life many times over. He slowly but surely joined his bestial camarade at the edge of the roof. He took a few minutes to look at the majestic fool moon before posing his hand on his classmate's arm, making the Wendigo look down at him at last.
Iida : Thank you... for saving Tensei's carrer. I will never forget that.
Izuku : *looks back at the moon* Your thanks are premature... the prey has manege to escape. There can be no celebrations yet...
Iida : Maybe... but saving my brother is something you did, not something you will have to do.
Midoryia hummed in understanding before silence quickly fell back on them. What Iida may not know, was that the cold and calm exterior he was showing did not fooled his bestial friend one bit. Izuku was capable of smelling the emotions of others, and the younger Iida's scent was loaded with great fury towards Stain. the Wendigo looked back a him.
Izuku : Your hatred towards our prey is palpable... You seek revange don't you ?
Tenya tensed slightly as he heard those words. He wanted to denied that it was true, but he knew that Midoryia could read him like a book with his sense of smell. He answered by simply redirecting his gaze towards the floor and clenching his fists. He prepared himself for his friend scolding him, but he got something very different.
Izuku : Do you wish to become a hunter... and to join me in the track ?
Iida : You... you would let me ?
Izuku : When the internship will come, choose Manual's agency... I will train you...
Iida : *smiles* Thank you...
--
It was 2 days now since Tenya had his discussion with Midoryia. He was very motivated to start his internship and because of it, was more relaxed. Of course, his choice of agency did not go unnoticed by neither Aizawa or a few of his other classmates and both confronted him about it. He simply told them half of the truth by saying that Izuku had proposed to train him and thought he was a very good teacher to train his quirck.
Only Aizawa felt that there was something else behind this simple reason, but he could not say that Iida was incorrect. Midoryia was in fact a very good choice to train Tenya, as his impressive mobility and agility was a great counter to the boy's speed quirck. He sighted as he had no good enough reason to refuse Iida's choice and simply informed Nedzu of the ordeal, hopping that his giant, number 1 problem child could prevent the other boy from doing anything stupid.
Soon enough, all of class 1-A said goodbye to their homeroom teacher and to each other, before taking their respective subway towards their selected hero agency for internship. After a few hours, Iida arrived to Manual's agency and was greeted by the pro in question. He was given a quick briefing of how things would go in the intership.
Manual : Normally after you settled down and got a tour of the agency, you would directly be thrown into the terrible paperwork hell. But your quite the "lucky" one ! Our fearless Wendigo resident is already waiting for you on training ground Alpha, so get yourself changed into your hero costume !
Iida : Thank you very much sir, I promise that I will... not... disappoint... why is everyone looking at me with pity ?
Manual : AH AH, my boy ! That is because your not the only here who got trained by Midoryia here. Good luck !
30 minutes later
Izuku : I see that you have arrived... are you ready to go through a hunter's training ?
Iida : Now, more than ever !
Izuku : Very well... Me and our prey may differ in size... but our fighting styles are very similar to each other... Stealthy... Precise... Quick yet efficient... Stay focus on my movements...
Tenya nodded in approval before both got into fighting position. Iida took a classic boxing posture while Midoryia got on all four, getting as low as possible to spread his size horizontally to minimize his massive size and gain maximum maneuverability. Tenya was the one who made the first move by activating his quirk, rushing straight to Izuku.
Midoryia in response teared out a chunk of the ground crushed it into pebbles. Once his opponent was close enough, he thrown himself to the side and proceed to throw the sharp small rocks at Iida with great force. this resulted in a shotgun like blast of projectiles that hit Tenya dead center. He could not dodge nor protect himself as he was in the process to stop his momentum so he could change direction.
This send the boy crashing on the ground a few meters/feets away. It took him a few seconds to get back on his feet, living him barely enough time to dodge the Wendigo who was came at full speed, trying to ram him with his giant antlers. Once the attack failed, Midoryia looked up and kept forward. Rather than trying stop his momentum to change direction, he continued and then jumped at the wall, clawing himself to it.
He looked back to see his adversary, seeing him running towards training materials that could serve as weapons. He used the wall to propulse himself towards his target and used his bigger left hand to slam where his classmate would stand. Iida saw him coming and used his recipro burst to jump towards the material and dodging Izuku's slam.
Jumping revealed to be a good idea as Midoryia's slam made a powerful shock-wave. Tenya grabbed a metal bar to use it as a spear and charged straight at Izuku. The Wendigo seeing that, used his still half berried hand to tear out a big chunk of the floor to send it at his opponent. This time, Iida did not try to change direction and slide under the boulder coming at him. Once close enough, Midoryia swiped away Tenya's weapon before jumping back of.
Izuku : Very well done... Tenya...
Iida : *smiles*
Izuku : *crouch down* But you still have to land a hit on me...
