Jirou's POV
I was woken up by Gran Torino at 5 am since we had to train
"Today you need to concentrate on using one for all in your whole body not just one-part Jirou-san, that will be the difference between being able to control the power or letting it control you" he said
He led me to his backyard where we would train for the day I'm guessing he doesn't want to repeat the microwave incident
"What do you mean when you said that I'm using it in one part?" I asked
"When you think of one for all you think of punches or kicks right, well it's way more than that, one for all is the whole you now, so you need to stop overthinking it kid, let it flow" he answered me
I was thinking about his words, I had to think of one for all as a whole, but whenever I used it I could feel that part of my body getting stronger, my muscles burning if I did that to my whole body I wouldn't be able to move because it is painful, even using 5% like I have been doing on my training with All Might I have only punched or kicked with it like 1 or 2 times every training it gets a lot from me, to explain it to you it's like when you put your frozen pizza on the microwave and it gets hotter than hell on one side and is still frozen on the other side? That's how I feel
But hey there are ways to warm your pizza evenly on the microwave so it gets the perfect temperature... Wait a second that was it, instead of getting the 5% to one part of my body I had to give it everywhere evenly so it wouldn't be that hard to my body
"I see you have figured it out kid, now try to use your theory" Gran Torino said and I did as he told, I distributed one for all in all my body it still hurt but I felt more powerful that I had felt in all my life, I was concentrating so much I tried to move but I was sticked to the floor
"You were able to do it kid, now stop overthinking it, remember it's part of you now embrace it as your arm, your leg, your body" he told me and I closed my eyes, breathing slowly like my dad had teach me to do when something was overwhelming me, when I opened my eyes I ran from side to side from the backyard, it just felt natural, like my legs were able to do that since I was a baby
"That's better, but don't use more that your body feels naturally with, if you do that you will hurt yourself and will have to start over again get it?" Gran Torino then started attacking me he was still the fastest person I had ever seen but I was getting better at predicting his attacks and with one for all with me it was easier to avoid some of his attacks, but even with one for all, Gran Torino was once a pro hero he was way better and stronger than me, just like dad was
After a few hours of predicting, avoiding and punching the air Gran Torino called it quits but I was not feeling like stopping there, Gran Torino went to have lunch but I wanted to see the limits of the power so I started jumping to the building next to Gran Torino's home seeing how far up I could get, I landed on the second floor but I noticed something strange, I got stick to the was for a few milliseconds before dropping down to the floor, that means I could probably use the building to impulse myself up, I had to test that theory so I tried over and over again failing miserably
Even if I was getting hurt I couldn't stop there, I knew I could do it, I just had to time it right
-time skip brought to you by your anxious writer :D-
It took me 5 hours but I did it!, I jumped just in time to reach the 3rd floor, and jumped again till I reached the roof it felt so good and at the same time I wanted an aspirin because everything hurt so much
I went down "carefully" from the building and entered Gran Torino's house; he was waiting for me with a bowl of ramen
"Sit and eat kid, I bet you are hungry after training that much" I thanked him and started eating, it was delicious
"I see that you like pushing yourself to achieve your goals, that's nice but please don't push yourself, you see I had a dear friend once, she was just like you she wanted to be better for everyone else, she worked so had to get to the top, but in the end she neglected her own happiness, giving up what she loved the most" he said with a grim look on his face
"If you don't mind me asking what happened to her?" I asked
"she perished on a battle against the biggest villain that had existed, she was and always will be a hero, but there is no day I just wished she was still here, with here dark humor, her sarcastic comments, but over all with all the love she gave everyone in her life" Gran Torino finished with a tear on his eye
"I'm so sorry for your loss grandpa, I will be more careful next time" I said while smiling at him, he smiled and spoke
"that's the spirit, now how about you get your dear grandpa a Taiyaki from the store?" he asked and I laughed while getting up to get his dessert
"I will be right back" I said before going to the store
When I got back to Gran Torino's house he was watching the news they were talking about how the crime has going up in some regions of Japan, I set the Taiyakis on a plate while listening to the news
"in other news the biggest villain of the moment is still on the loose, known as the hero killer of Hosu his identity is unknown, what we know is that he is heavily armed and is very dangerous so please if you see him, abstain of confronting him and report him to your nearest police station"
They then started a minute of silence for all their victims, after the minute of silence they continued
"there is only 1 known hero that survived his confrontation with the hero killer, sadly this hero won't be able to go back to the pro scene since he was badly injured but today we will make a tribute to him hoping him he gets better everyday, here is the story of Iida Tenshi, better known as Ingenium"
Iida? Was him Tenya's family
"Grandpa, how does Ingenium looks like?" I asked
"ah well he has blue short hair, wears glasses, has a strict face and used to wear a silver armor as his hero suit" omg he was describing Tenya, then we heard on the T.V.
"Ingenium comes from a family of well-known heroes they all seem to be taking it hard but in word of her mother no one took it harder than his little brother who wanted to become a hero thanks to him" I started breathing faster, my head was going at full force, Iida had gone to Hosu to do his Internship, it wasn't a coincidence, He seemed so angry when we talked at the station but I decided to ignore it thinking he was just having a bad day, how couldn't I push it harder
"Kid are you ok?" I need to stop him before he does something stupid
"Kyoka, listen to me, I don't know what you are thinking but please snap out of it, I'm here for you tell me what's bothering you" Gran Torino grabbed me by the arms and shake me a little
"My friend, he is in danger I... I have to stop him" I said
"what are you talking about?" Grandpa asked
"His little brother, he is my friend he went to do his internship in Hosu, I'm sure he will be looking for the killer, he could get killed, I have to do something" I said thinking on how I could get to Hosu fast
"Ok, the first thing we are going to do is calm down, I will call the Hosu hero agency ok, I will ask them to keep an eye on your friend, and tomorrow we will go to Hosu so you can see him yourself, but for now you need to relax and rest a little you trained hard today and won't be able to do much" I knew he was right but I still felt like I needed to do something, so I waited till Gran Torino did the call and they told him that Tenya was ok and that he was resting in the headquarters that I was able to go to my room and lay down on my bed, before I knew it I was asleep
-The next day-
It was the third day of my internship, I had learn so much from Gran Torino in only a few days but right now we were on our way to Hosu to make sure Iida doesn't do anything stupid, when we got there it was already 12pm, we found the Hosu agency rather quick and when we entered there he was on a desk doing some paperwork, "Iida-san" I smiled at Gran Torino and he nodded so I approached Iida
"Iida-san I'm so glad you are ok" was the first thing I said
"why wouldn't I be ok Jirou-san?" Iida asked
I whispered the next words to him since I knew if we were heard he could be reprehend
"I saw what happened to your brother, I'm so sorry Iida but I felt like you wanted... Revenge and that's why you came here" he seemed surprised by what I have said like I caught him in the act
"I... I don't know what you are talking about Jirou-san there is nothing I would be able to do anything against him, the pro heroes will get him I'm sure of that" he smiled at me but I knew he was lying
"just stay safe Iida and remember if you are ever in trouble call me ok?" I said
"Ok, since you came all this way to see me would you like to have lunch with Manual and me? He is my teacher here" Iida asked
"I would love that but let me ask Gran Torino first"
"hey Gran Torino, would you mind if we stayed to have lunch with Iida-san and Manual-san?"
"I would actually like that kid, I'm hungry, since we left on a rush we didn't get to have breakfast"
We went on to have lunch with Iida and Manual, Manual went on how Hosu crime rate was rather low and that even if he was a pro hero he was still on training but was glad to be able to work with Iida-san, after having our lunch and feeling content with what we eat, he said our goodbyes and parted ways
"so now we go back to your house Gran Torino?" I asked, I was still concern about Iida-san but Manual would stop him before he did something stupid
"I was actually thinking that we could go to Tokyo so we could stop some villains then you would be able to try your new abilities, but it would be better if we got there at night since that's when the crimes really start, meanwhile why don't we have a nice day and go to the park or something?" he said
-time skip brought to you by dollhouse by Melanie Martinez-
We had a nice day, it's been a while since I had a day off so it was almost perfect, It would have been perfect if Momo was here to enjoy it too, I wonder how was she doing in her internship
"why are you so red kid? Are you catching a cold?" Gran Torino asked me
"No sorry I just thought about... someone" I blushed more
"ohhh a special person I see, well that's good having a special person will help you to always have something to push yourself for and to be careful to get back to, now let's go to the train station so we can get to Tokyo" I nodded and followed him to the station
We got our tickets and went on the bullet train, the train started the trip when I heard an explosion near us (thank god for my natural quirk)
"Gran Torino what happened?" I asked
"Stay calm kid, there are a few explosions going on, on Hosu" just as he said that something crashed on the train making a hole on it, when It got up I recognized a Nomu, the thing tat All Might had fought when we were attacked at the USJ, on it's claws lay an unconscious pro hero
All the people around us started screaming, trying to get away from it, we had to stop it or it would injure the people
"stay here kid" was all Gran Torino said before launching himself to the Nomu Kicking it out of the train
I knew I had to help Gran Torino so I turned to the civilians
"please remain calm the pro heroes will get here in no time, right now I have to go help my teacher, so if you excuse me" was all I said before activating One for all and jumping out of the train to the nearest building
When I reached Gran Torino he was kicking and punching the Nomu he seemed to be doing alright I was ready to help him when another explosion took me by surprise and I had to jump to safety, in there I lost "sight" of Gran Torino and the Nomu but I could see Manual near so I went to him
"what is happening?" I asked
"Jirou-san I'm glad you are ok, we have villains attacking us, other agencies are coming to help us, but right now the best we can do is having civilians stay safe" he said
"where is Iida?" I asked
"He is on the next block helping the civilians, I know I shouldn't ask but could you go help him?" he asked me and I nodded running to the next block
-5 minutes earlier, Iida POV-
If Villains were attacking us he shouldn't be far, I knew I should be helping the civilians but I couldn't help this burning hearted towards the guy that had almost killed my brother I had to stop him, avenge Tenshi
I told Manual I would be a block from him but in reality I went further looking for the hero killer, and to my surprise I did find him, he was ready to kill a pro hero when I yelled
"Hero Killer stop!" I said and I was surprised that he had actually stopped
"Kid get out of here I have nothing against you but if you become an obstacle I won't hesitate to kill you" was all he said
"I'm going to stop you, I'm a hero in training so I will do it for the hero you almost killed, my brother Ingenium" Iida said
"revenge is not a good trait for a hero, so I guess I will have to kill you too fake hero"
Iida then launched himself into battle throwing a kick to the hero killer's head which he deflected easily and punched Iida making his helmet fall
In no time the Hero killer had defeated Iida who was lying on the floor with a sword on his shoulder next to the other pro hero, he didn't knew what the hero killer had done but he couldn't move an inch, he knew his end was near he just hoped someone could save him now
-Jirou's POV-
After running a block, Iida was no where to be found, this gave Jirou a bad feeling but she knew what she had to do, when the class had started they created a chat so they could all stay in touch, Jirou never used it since she would have to send voice notes, but in this case it would become in hand
"phone, send my live location to the class chat" what Jirou said activated the command on her phone to do so, and suddenly all her classmates got her location, she knew they would probably think it was strange but maybe just maybe they would believe she was in danger and if near they would help her or send the location to other pro heroes
She then went to search for Iida, 4 blocks away from where he was supposed to be she turned around to an alley where she saw Iida, another person and what she supposed to be the Hero Killer holding a knife ready to kill her friend
"I won't let you hurt them!" I activated One for all in all her body and quickly punched the hero killer sending him flying a few meters
"What are you doing here Jirou?!"
"I came to save you of course Iida, are you ok?" I said with the most confidence she could gather, in reality she was scared of this villain, but she wouldn't let Iida get killed
"Jirou I can't move but don't get involved in this, this doesn't concern you" Iida tried to make me go away but I knew what I had to do, so this must be his quirk and how he got to kill many pro heroes, It must be activated by his blades so I will have to avoid them
I took a fighting stance ready to try and stop this guy, this guy was giving me chills in a bad way
"Go away, stay alive leave us here" Iida said
"so what are you going to do now girl?" the Hero Killer asked me
"Protecting people even when they are not called is the hero essence, I will protect them with all I have"
"Good" was what the Hero Killer said, I launched myself at him anticipating his attacks I passed him through his legs, this was my chance I jumped above him and threw my punch
"5% smaaaaaash!" it hit him right in the head and I wished for it to be the only it took but of course that was not going to happen, I landed on the floor while the Hero Killer got up, I had to get up but suddenly I couldn't move, it was not as if I was tired I really couldn't move an inch, I looked at myself and noticed I have been scratched by his blade, he was now holding his blade on his mouth so I understood that for his quirk to work he had to taste the blood of his enemy
I was trying to move but it seemed to be impossible, I watched as the Hero Killer got near my friend, I was trying to use my earphone jack (the quirk I was born with), One for all, anything but it wasn't working at all
"You are all talk girl but you are also worth letting live" The Hero Killer was next to Iida now, his blade was raised just above his head and was ready to kill him, I screamed at top of my lungs
"STOOOOOP" and then...
-sometime before that, Todoroki's POV-
"Shoto get ready to fight we are needed in the Hosu district" my excuse of a father said, I don't know what was happening but it was no use to talk with him, so I just followed him, we took his car and went faster than any time I have been on the car along with him
When we got to Hosu I understood the urgency to get there, everything was on fire
"Stay alert the villains must be close" Endeavor said, I nodded and felt my phone vibrate, I checked it to see that Jirou had shared her location, it was strange for her to do anything on the chat so I opened it, it surprised me that she was on Hosu as well, so it wasn't that hard to put 2+2, if villains were attacking Hosu, and someone that never speaks on the class chat sends their location in said city it means they are in danger
"Look there!" Endeavor used his fire quirk to fry a Nomu that was attacking an old hero, but I took this distraction as the opportunity to go help Jirou, I know she wasn't afraid of working with teams like Bakugo was but she was strong, and if she was in trouble that would mean I needed to get to her fast, after memorizing how I had to run to reach the location I said
"after you are done with that come help me" I threw my phone to Endeavor before using my Ice to skate to the location Jirou had sent, I know leaving my phone to Endeavor would be a mistake if Jirou moved but I had to take the chance
When I got there, there was nothing on the street so I turned to the alley where I saw my 2 classmates Iida and Jirou on the floor, another person who I supposed to be a hero sit next to a trashcan and the Hero Killer ready to kill Iida with his blade on hand so I threw my fire at him to make him step away from Iida, I then run in front of my classmates and continued attacking the hero killer with my fire
"In times like this you have to do something else that just send your location Jirou, it took me a second to figure you were in trouble" I said
"I'm sorry Todoroki-san but it was the best I could do at the time, we can't help you right now, his quirk doesn't let us move, don't let him taste your blood Todoroki or it will all be over" Jirou told me while trying to move
"Don't worry the pro heroes will be here in a few minutes" I said before running to the killer attacking him with my fire again
The Hero Killer avoided all my attacks and said
"why did you get involved into this kids, I just want to clean the hero society from it's scum, those fake heroes that becomes heroes for everything but being a hero" so this was his "goal" mass murder of people who he believe to not be worth it of being a hero
I stood tall in front of the people I was protecting
"I won't let you kill them Hero killer" My flames were ready to blast him but he was quick, he jumped to me and said
"you have good friends, Ingenium" his blade was ready to strike me from the side so I created a wall of ice to protect me, he jumped back but changed the blade of hand to attack my wall again with the blade destroying it in the process, this guy was strong
"I have to do it, that guy is mine!" I being as familiar with anger as I am could see that Iida-san had rage on his face but this rage would only stop us and maybe got us killed
"I know you feel like you need to stop him Iida-san, more for the sake of your brother but this is not the way of a hero, this wouldn't be what your brother wanted you to become" The hero killer was still attacking me while saying this but it seemed to have done the trick with Iida since he was deep in thought, with all this attacks and slashes the killer managed to cut my arm with his knive but since Jirou had warned me about him drinking my blood I froze his knife making it impossible for him to drink it form there, my arm was still bleeding thought so I would have to be careful
Iida-san seemed to snap out of his trance and yelled
"above you!" it was the hero killer he had managed to pass my ice again; my quirk was not that good in close combat so I didn't know what to do just when I thought everything was over the hero killer blade was aimed at my head but I saw a flash of purple and Jirou had grabbed the killer's chest and pushed him with so much strength that he crashed on the building on the back of the alley
"Are you ok Todoroki?" Jirou asked me, I was wondering how she was able to move before the other pro hero and Iida
"were you attacked by his quirk first Jirou or how are you able to move now?" I asked her and she was now confused I guess she was so interested in saving me that she didn't notice the fact that the other 2 were not moving still
"I was the last to get attacked by him, but he scratched me, so maybe it has to do with how much blood he ingests"
"I'm sorry to have you guys involved in this, my name is Native, even if I'm a pro hero I'm not able to do much but I can give you my hypothesis on how she is able to move, I believe it has to do with our blood type, right like what's your type girl" Native said
"I'm an O type, what about you two?" Jiro said
"I'm an A type" Iida said
"and I'm a B type, so that must be how the duration of the quirk is determinate" Native said
"Even if we know how his quirk work I don't believe that will help us in the battlefield" Jirou said and I agreed with her
Just as she was saying that the hero killer was walking to us with a murderous look, I believe we made him angry
"Our safest bet is to try and contain him while the pro heroes get here, while avoiding close combat"
"I believe you are right Todoroki-san; I will try and distract him while trusting my back to you, your quirk is a long range one right? So then please protect me if he get's too close" Jirou told me, I have saw how she had pushed him away, was that the power she was about to use with me at the festival, it was rather impressive, I am glad she was on my side, on the hero side
Jirou was surrounded by purple lightning before she jumped from one side of a building to another in a flash, she was so fast it was hard to follow for a second, she then started punching the guy, landing a few good punches before he could attack her back, I was doing my best to protect her from close calls with his blade but at one point she got too close to punch him and he was able to cut her stomach
"Jirou!" I screamed while sending my fire to him to make him jump away from her
"you guys need to get out of here, you will be killed" Iida started again, I was growing frustrated with this guy, here we were fighting for his and our lives and he was complaining
"If you want to stop us that much then get up! Be the hero you want to be and get up!" I yelled at him knowing he was under the hero killer quirk; all the frustration and anger made my fire burn inside me making it stronger
The killer seemed to have lost interest in Jirou but was launching himself at me, while I was using everything I got to make him stay away but in a flash he was at my face the blade aimed at my chest, I thought I was done for he was a monster for being able to survive so many attacks just when the blade was about to cut me Iida kicked the guy with his burst sending him flying back
"I'm sorry for making you guys step on this mess, you had no reason to be injured, it's all my fault, sorry" Iida said
"It's not use to try and appear as a reformed hero kid, you always be selfish and a fake hero" the killer said to Iida
"don't listen to him Iida, he is a mass murderer"
"No, he is right, but I will fight everyday to become what you and Jirou are, real heroes"
The killer launched at us again and this time I used my fire to attack him, while Iida was preparing his quirk and I could see in the back that Jirou was standing up again gathering her power, I understood that we would attack at the same time and nodded
"oh no, recipro's is not working properly, Todoroki can you regulate the temperature of your Ice?"
"yes, why?"
"I need you to use it on my legs, it seems when I pushed the killer from you I overheat my motors so they won't start" he said
"ok lay down in front of me so I can see your legs" I told him and froze his legs at a temperature that wouldn't hurt him, but then the killer launched 2 knives to us, we were distracted by our plan so one of the knives go to my left shoulder, and the other got to Iida's arm
With this injure I wouldn't be able to use my fire so I turned to my ice creating icebergs that would push the killer up, just in que Iida and Jirou launched themselves to the villain
"This is the only chance we got so we will make the most of it! This is the only thing we got!" I yelled at them Jirou's punch collided with the killer's cheek and Iida's kick with his ribs, the Hero killer still attacked Iida with his blade but he was able to avoid it
"I will stop you!" Iida then attacked him again with his burst kicking his stomach so I too the opportunity and while they were falling I used my ice to trap the killer to the wall while making a safe landing for my teammates
When they got down I noticed that Jirou was severely injured, she had the gash in her stomach, her arm seemed broken and her legs were injured as well
"Iida stand up, this is not over" I said it but when I turned to the killer he seemed to be knocked out
"he is probably out after all that, you kids are amazing" Native said
"Let me help you, it's the least I can do" he said while carrying Jirou on his back
"oh no it's not necessary I can..." Jirou started and I chuckled a little I was starting to comprehend why Momo liked her
"you hurt your legs right? Let me at least take you to the hospital for saving my life" Native said
"thanks" Jirou said sighing of relief, while Native was taking Jirou Iida and I took the chance to tie the hero killer up so we could deliver him to the authorities
"I am a pro hero and still was only on the way, I'm sorry" Native apologized
"even fighting 3 on 1 with the killer making mistakes we barely made it, he injured us all" I said
When we were out of the alley we were discussing how would we deliver the killer to the police when the elderly hero that was fighting the Nomu that Endeavor helped appeared in front of us and hit Jirou's head
"I thought I told you to stay on the train kid" the elder said
"I'm sorry Gran Torino I couldn't stay still and not help" the old mand chuckled and looked at the tied-up hero killer
"So I'm guessing this is why you are all injured right?" we all nodded and 5 more Hosu pro heroes approached us
"you must be Todoroki-san's son, he sent us to help you" a woman said
"oh gosh that injuries look serious I will call an ambulance right away and the police so they can deal with this one" a guys said pointing to the hero killer
"guys, I'm really sorry for what happened today, thank you for being there for me" Iida said
"that's what friends are for Iida-san, also thanks to you for responding to my distress call Todoroki, you really saved us" Jirou said with a smile on her face
"Like you said that's what friends are for" I smiled at her and she seemed surprised
"get down!" Gran Torino yelled while a flying Nomu tried to attack us all of us got down but since Jirou was still on Native's back the Nomu grabbed her with it's paws taking her away
We were all stunned to move but the hero killer got himself free, letting me know he was only faking to been captured and launched his blade to the nomu it's blood splashed the hero woman's face and the hero killer licked it making the Nomu not move he then jumped at it saying
"this society overgrown with fake heroes should all be purged" while sinking his blade into the Nomu's brain and grabbing Jirou on his arm dropping her with care after crashing the Nomu on the street
"did he save the kid?" one of the heroes asked, this guy antics were pretty weird, one moment he was trying to kill us and the next he was saving Jirou from a Nomu
"Whatever he had done prepare to fight" all the heroes got into fighting stance
"Don't tell me the problem my son got into was the Hero killer himself" It was Endeavor with his flames ready to attack the killer
"Wait Todoroki" Gran Torino said in fear of my father hurting Jirou further that she was
"You! Fake Hero, come and try to get me you fake heroes" the atmosphere was so intense, this guy was so scary that none of us could move not even Endeavor and then it all suddenly stopped, the killer got his eyes on blank and was not saying anything"Is he alive?" Gran Torino asked, in no more than 3 minutes the killer was tied up again while the ambulances got here, there we got to know that the killer's Ribs have been broken and that they had punched his lungs so that's what had stopped him, we were sent to the Hosu Hospital where they attended our Injuries and we were placed on the same hospital room so we could sleep-The next day-"How are you guys feeling" I asked Iida an Jirou since they had been the most injured ones"you could say I have been better, but at least we are alive" Jirou said smiling"I'm sorry again guys, I will work everyday for this to not happen again, so I can become the hero I want to be" Iida said"I would like to take the chance to say I'm sorry Todoroki-san for what happened before, I didn't intend in injuring you, I was.." Jirou said, she seemed pained by the fact that she had hurt me in the festival"Don't worry about it Jirou, I was also pushing your buttons since I knew exactly what you were talking about, but I will tell you that you don't have to worry about a thing with me, I am your friend after all" I told her and she smiled brighter while her eyes filled with tears so I did something I don't normally do and hugged her to comfort her
"I have lot of complains about you little girl" Gran Torino said while opening the door entering along with Manual, Jirou jumped a little and seemed to be afraid for a second there
"but before that there is someone here to see you all, this is the Hosu Police chief Kenji Tsuragamae" a tall dog face man on a suit entered the room, Iida and I got up while Jirou tried to get up but got stopped by the chief
"you can remain sited, woof" well I was expecting him to do a dog sound like Tsuyu makes a frog sound after she finishes a sentence so I was not that phased
"you are the UA students that brought down the hero killer, right?" we all nodded
"Regarding the hero killer we arrested he had fairly serious injuries with burns and broken bones and is receiving treatment under heavy guard, as UA students I figure you must know that when superpowers were still becoming normal rules were created so quirks were not used as weapons so that's how the hero profession was born but for uncertified individuals to cause injuries with their quirks without specific instructions from your guardians is a violation of said rules, the 3 of you and the pro heroes Manual, Gran Torino and Endeavor must receive severe punishment" the chief said and I couldn't help but got angry
"Wait a minute, If Iida hadn't done anything Native would have died and if Jirou hadn't step up the both of them would have died" I started
"the same goes for Todoroki, he saved us 3 when the Hero Killer used his quirk on us, with the chaos of the city no one noticed the hero killer had appeared" Jirou continued
"So are you saying that we must follow the rules and watch people get killed?" I asked him
"Are you saying if it turns out alright it's ok to bend the rules?" the chief asked that was not what I meant but I continued
"Isn't it a hero job to save people?"
"That's why you 3 are not full heroes yet, my god what are UA and your guardians teaching you" he chuckled
"you dog" I was so mad at this guy
"hang on a minute kid he is not finished" Gran Torino stopped me, and the chief continued
"that was the official police posture, and the punishment would only take place if this was made public, but since there were few witnesses you have the choice, if it were made public you would probably be praised by the public but you wouldn't be able to escape the punishment but if this was not made public the burn scars on the killer could be explained by Endeavor quirk the hero who save the day and that would end there, the violation would be crushed here but it would also mean no one would know about your achievements, so which one do you prefer? Personally I don't want to be the one finding fault in young promising ones because one mistake" the chief ended giving us his thump up
"Either way we will have to take responsibility of neglecting our supervision duties" Manual said
"I'm truly sorry" Iida said while bowing at Manual
"All right you caused trouble for others, if you understand that then don't do it again" Manual said
"I'm sorry" Jirou said while bowing her head
"please take care of it" I said
"it's thanks to adults unfairness that you won't get the praise you deserve but at least as someone who also protects the peace I can only say thank you" the chief then bowed to us, after that the chief left the room along with Gran Torino and Manual to let us rest, later that day we were told that Jirou and Iida would have to stay at the hospital for the rest of the week but I would be able to go back to my internship the next day, later that night Iida had gone to sleep but Jirou and I were still up
"how is your internship going Todoroki-san? Why did you choose your father's agency? I got the feeling that you don't like him that much" Jirou asked me
"It's going, to be honest helping you was the most I have done, we have only been training at the dojo, you are right we don't get along but the old man's agency was the best to help me become stronger with my quirk, how is it going for you?" I asked her
"Well I did learn a lot from Gran Torino but sadly I won't be able to train more thanks to this fight, I will just have to train harder later to control my quirk" she said
"speaking of your quirk, wasn't it a long range one like mine?, when did it become a close combat one and a powerful at that" I was genuinely curious her quirk seemed to have changed from night to day
"you could say... it evolved" I knew she was hiding something but maybe I shouldn't push it so I nodded at her
"I see, well I meant what I said early Jirou, you don't have to worry about me, I'm not in your way to her heart" I said and she watched me confused
"but I thought you were engaged, your father said so at the festival, and you were all lovely dovely with each other that day too and all week for that matter"
"ah, so that's why you were so mad that day, well as for the lovely dovely part I believe Momo wants to be the one to explain that so I will let her do so, and for the engagement, you see our parents have been friends for a long time, and they thought it would be a great idea to arrange our marriage with each other, when we were kids we got to enjoy each other's company but when we got older we figured we were better friends than anything else, of course the old man's still don't get it but I believe that deep down Momo's mother know" I said and she was staring at me with a perfect o formed on her mouth
"what about your mom, does she knows?" She asked me
"My mother knows but sadly she is not on the best condition to help us, she lives at the hospital back at home" I said sadly
"I'm so sorry Todoroki-san I didn't knew" she apologized
"It's ok Jirou, don't worry about it"
"I want to talk with her so much, to apologize for that day but I feel like she is so mad at me for what happened that maybe she won't listen to me" I saw her sad face and knew I had to do something
"I know she wants to speak with you as much if not more that you want to speak with her, but your dad made a rule that if anyone talked to you during the punishment, well beside Iida they would be expelled, and I know for a fact that she was about to talk with you not matter the consequences because" you were so lonely and probably believing you were a monster or a villain" her words not mine when Iida was assigned to be with you all the time" I said
"what?" she asked
"I know, that's all I can tell you for now we should rest if we want to get better, I will go with my dad tomorrow Jirou, but if you are ever in trouble again, count with me as your ally" I extended my hand to shake hers, she smiled and me and shacked my had before going to sleep letting this be the start of a good friendship
