Rex smiled as he ran for Ryuko. Ryuko was years younger, She still had years of growth in front of her. His fist was pulled back as he closed. With all his might he threw his first punch, A simple hook aimed at her chest. With her arm bent she blocked it. She was barely moved by it. His smile grew at that. He had genetics on her. He was born stronger. Yet with her hard work. Her determination caused them to be on nearly equal footing. She kept up with his speed. With each punch he threw, she was able to block. He even noticed that she was blocking on purpose, She chose not to deflect, Not to step out of the way. This truly was just for her to see how strong she could be.
Rex threw punch after punch. Each one gained more power than the last, Each one starting to awaken the fun of battle in Rex, Yet it did the same to Ryuko. She got more into the battle aswell. Each blow as it was gaining more might, seemed to do less and less. She moved less and less. Her skin seemed to even get harder and harder. Instinctively she had hardened her skin into scales.
'' You have become a wonderful fighter, Yet instead of showing the one thing you can do, Let's see how you do with everything,'' Rex said as he used a hybrid form. His fist turned to scales. His eyes burned brightly as his teeth turned sharp. Ryuko followed suit.'' Let's'' Ryuko simply followed up with a kick. It landed square in the gut of Rex, Kicking him up and back. He grunted before letting out a chuckle.'' Truly impressive.'' Rex knew that both Izuku and Ryuko had far surpassed both him and Tohru. While Tohru was more agile, she lacked battle skills.
When they were all playing around, Both Rex and Tohru could hold their own. Now in a more serious battle. The true difference was shown. Rex was instantly pushed back. Each time he tried to punch, he had to cover himself from a different attack. Even with the skill he had, He fell short. After blocking a right hook, he fell victim to a straight left. He rolled back, ending flat on his back. Out of breath, he spoke.'' I give, you win.'' Ryuko gained a massive smile.'' Really? I won?'' Ryuko spoke in amazement and shock.
Rex sat up.'' You were always going to win in a fight dear Ryuko. This does show, that from now on. The training both myself and Tohru can share with you will only be focused on Dragon energy and phrases.'' Ryuko smiled. Feeling proud of what she had seemed to accomplish, Rex got back up. Dusting himself off completely.'' Izuku is still stronger than me.'' Rex nodded.'' No matter how much you try, That won't change. He was born into a very important role. One that he chose would be one of good.''
Rex looked inside the dorm, seeing Izuku laugh with Eri and Kanna.'' No matter how I look at him as a boy. He truly will be a divine force of power. The likes of All Might will fail to even compare.'' Rex noticed some of the class.'' Yet even here, there will be those that will force Izuku to grow more than he would normally.'' Ryuko nodded She was not sad that Izuku was more powerful, She had no jealousy within herself for that.'' Feel pride, You beat my butt.'' Rex said with a smile as he made his way inside.
Tohru however wanted to mess around a little bit more. One who was more than happy to spar was Rumi. After seeing Ryuko fight and win. It drove her mad. She needed to win herself. She had to show how powerful she was aswell.'' Well, bring it You rabbit.'' Tohru teased with a smile. Rumi frowned as her ears twitched.'' I am gonna kill you.'' She shot forward. Pushing her body low to the ground as she jumped forward. Only need two jumps to be on Tohru. Her eyes went wide at the speed, But as Rumi landed, she went for a handstand.
Both her feet arched over her, Slamming both her heels down on Tohru. The force caused Tohru's heels to be buried in the ground. Her arms nearly bucked at the might of Rumi. But she had her legs now.'' WRONG MOVE.'' As Tohru twisted her body, she did a full 360 turn, throwing Rumi back at the place she started. Her shirt and shorts were now stained with patches of dirt and grass stains. Yet she got right back up. Without even thinking of it she ran right back. She jumped in the air. As she reached the peak of the jump, she started leaning forward. Easily now as high as a fourth story, Rumi began spinning mid-air. She bundled herself closely, bringing her legs right to her chest. Then at the final moment, she stuck her leg out. And with as much power as she could. Rumi went for a downward heel kick. This landed on the arms of Tohru who went out of her way to block this attack. Her eyes went wide as her arms were pushed out of the way, Only for Rumi's second leg to be the real attack.
Slammed at the top of her head, Tohru's head was pushed back, Losing her footing and scrambling her brains. She fell to a knee, pressing her hands on the ground. She blinked a couple of times before shaking her head. Rumi was worried for a second, Only for Tohru to ask how she did that.'' TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME THAT WAS AWESOME TELL ME TELL ME TELL ME COME ON TELL ME.'' Tohru seemed to not need air with how fast she was speaking. Blurring out her request over and over and over without stopping for air or even an answer.
Which was more so the rest of the day. Just before dinner, Right Rumi had finished explaining the last part of her attack Luna Plena. But with Tohru having learned it they were able to eat dinner and chill.'' Rush said he would be available tomorrow?'' Momo asked with the group nodding.'' Who is that papa?'' Eri asked.'' Rush is the hero Momo, Ochaco, and Tsuyu intern with. He is a very kind man that both Nana and myself trained under.'' woooow, he must be like really strong.'' Izuku nodded.'' Ranked fifth, in all of Japan.'' While Eri didn't know what that meant, she was still amazed by it.
--
Rush arrived early in the morning. '' Good morning,'' Rush said as he opened the door. A smile on his face as he noticed the students. The 40-plus students were all dressed in PE outfits and seemed to be waiting for him.'' Oh, you are all ready.'' Nana nodded.'' We are ready for anything you can throw our way.'' Nana stated proudly. Rush grinned evilly.'' Oh really now, Let's test that shall we? How about a light jog.'' Rush said as he walked out. They did start slow. A tempo nearly everyone could keep up with.'' Can I get what she is getting'' Mineta asked, breathing heavily as his short legs made it hard to keep up. He pointed at Eri who sat on Izuku's shoulder.
''Don't be a beach, Just keep up, you want to be a hero don't you.'' Bakugo said from the front of the pack.'' Yeah, Women don't like men that get winded that easily.'' Nemuri said with a sensual tone. This seemed to breathe new life into Mineta, His legs seemed to work twice as hard as he from the back of the pack was right in the middle.
'' Just maintain your breathing. Dont start gasping like crazy, Just focus on your breathing.'' Rush told them, He seemed to not even be breathing heavily.'' A hero needs to be able to stay active for ages, You can not just take a beat and breath as villains attack.'' Come on guys, we have this. Dont let him win this early.'' Izuku said not winded at all. Thanks to his genetics, Both himself and Ryuko were not even slightly out of breath, while both were not as conditioned as someone like Rush, they did have a cheat build-in at birth.
'' I believe in you'' Eri said, The upbeat and kind words of the small child that rested on Izuku's shoulders, breathed a wave of energy and power in the students. The multiple-mile warm-up run that seemed more like a full-blown marathon had finally finished after nearly an hour and a half of running. Gasping for air, nearly collapsing they fell on the floor at the front of the dorm. Only a few were standing after.'' Now then, let's spar.'' Rush said, a slight damp layer of sweat on his forehead. His breathing is still controlled.'' While I do not discourage a spar, I will first do my stretching, to not result in injuries.'' Ida stated.
'' Well, I am ready.'' Rumi was first. She always wanted to spar against Rush. A fighter that was focused on speed. How would she deal with that,'' All right, Rumi Usagiyama, Please try your best.'' Rumi leaned back before she fell forward, Dashing toward Rush. She stayed low, As she got close, she spun around. Sweeping her legs, Yet calm as ever, Rush just jumped over the kick. only to then push her over.'' Always try and maintain a balance, Never give up balance for power.''
Rush allowed her to get back up. She tried to land a high kick this time. Aimed at Rush his head, Yet the form was still so basic.'' Moves like that are easy to spot, While against most you might have the speed advantage, You won't against me.'' Rush had stopped the kick before it was even able to gain speed with a leg of his own. The bottom of his foot rested on her ankle. Holding it in place. She pulled her leg back, only to try again with a kick in his mid-riff.
Again without use. Rush just grabbed it. stepping closer, Placing his own leg behind her own leg and he pushed her over again.'' You won't always be the fastest, Try to improve that aspect.'' Rumi grumbled something as she walked away. This time Itsuka took front.'' Could I?'' Rush nodded.'' Try your best Itsuka Kendo.'' Rush had done research into all the students before. He had known of Itsuka. A martial artist who truly used her quirk in tandem with her skill. Someone to his own heart, Someone who in time would hopefully intern with him.
Itsuka brought her arms forth. Her palm pushed forward.'' You wished for me to attack you?'' Itsuka nodded and Rush moved. His speed was impeccable, even when holding back. He palmed her hand out the way, Sneaking in his right to strike her on the shoulder, Just a mile second before she would have been hit, Rush took a large strike to the side. He was booted back with a smile.'' You used my first touch as an indicator of your quirk. Your fist was already in position.'' Rush said seeing she had used her left hand which was now the same size as his torso.'' You to quick to attack straight on, But this way, you are basically fighting against yourself.''
Itsuka took a new stance again. But this time Rush knew what to look at, and he could only smile. Her stance was perfect, No matter what area Rush would attack at, He would get hit back. He would either hit her and instantly be hit back, Or open her up for a stronger attack and be hit before he could hit her. He could of course start using his quirk, land dozens of blows before she even felt the first attack, But this was by far one of the most impressive things he had encountered at someone their age.'' Seems this would end in a stalemate, well done Itsuka Kendo.
