21 Training and Talking

__________POV Nejire__________

Today our teacher said we'd be doing a joint training session with our neighbouring class. I was happy about that, we didn't know what the exercise would consist of.

We certainly weren't expecting to do a group fight against Japan's most famous vigilante. Not everyone knew about his fight with All Might, but I had seen the news about his capture live.

I had seen him fight All Might and the other Pro's.

He was about our age, maybe a year younger. but he had enough strength to face off against the Nr.1 Pro Hero.

As Aizawa explained the rules, I could hear some people saying this was going to be easy. They clearly hadn't seen the fight between him and All Might. Maybe they only heard he got captured by him.

But as the fight started the same people that were confident were defeated almost instantly. My attacks were too slow to even hit him. Every wave I shot his way was just outright ignored or dodged.

His attacks were too fast for us, but after remembering the footage of his fight against All Might, he is clearly holding back.

In the end, even Tamaki got taken down in one hit. Now only me and my other two classmates. I couldn't fly up and leave them open from one side. The same instant I thought that I could see him with the corner of my eye. I didn't even have time to raise my hand before he knocked us all out.

I woke up in the infirmary. None of my classmates was actually injured. I decided that I wanted to learn more about this Allan person.

__________POV MC__________

A week passed quickly. Today was the day of my exam, meaning by tomorrow I'd be back on the streets, this time legally.

There were quite a few things on my mind right now.

Today I also need to help with at Gym Gamma again. I had asked for permission to use some of their training equipment, Nezu obviously accepted, but only outside work hours. So recently I restarted my daily training.

I couldn't train for the same amount of time as before. I still had some stuff to study from Nezu, I also had to help the teachers around campus. Honestly, Nezu called me a 'Sparring Partner/CombatInstructor', but I think the correct term for my actual position would be 'Unpaid Intern'.

None of the teachers ever asked me to bring them coffee thankfully, I would've blown it in their faces. The most I do is deliver files. Thirteen needed help with her rescue class yesterday, it was with the first years.

I saw the interior of USJ, it was a lot more impressive looking in person. I didn't pay much attention to much else in there. Thirteen just wanted me there for a quick demonstration. She told me to rescue someone from the mountain slide zone.

We just walked into the perimeter of the zone and the demonstration started.

I just used my speed and perception to quickly reach the rescued party. It was a dummy, they only used actual people for tests apparently. I just grabbed it and flashed away back to the entrance of the zone.

It took about 4 seconds in total. The students were somewhat surprised. I think this is class 1-B. Can't really recognize any of them. But I still said.

"If this were an actual person, I wouldn't be able to speed up that much. You should always be mindful of the person you carry." I still remind them to be mindful of the cargo during an escort mission. Basic gaming etiquette.

Overall, I was having fun, the heroes were an interesting bunch of characters. Their attitudes were amusing to me. I loved making fun of Aizawa, Hizashi was a cool guy all around, Thirteen was a nice to talk to and polite and Midnight was a bit weird. I didn't get to talk much with the rest of the teachers and staff. But I have time, I will be working here for a few years.

Now I am heading to Gym Gamma, I think I'm meeting the second years again. This time Present Mic called me for it. When I entered the gym there was only class 2-A. The teachers with them were Ectoplasm, Cementoss and Mic(obviously). I waved at them and greeted.

"Hello everybody, hope you didn't wait long for me!" I was just fashionably late, I developed the habit of not always being on time in the last week. It helped me relax a bit on the way to work.

"Well, glad you finally showed up!" Hizashi was always loud in his speech, might be due to his quirk. I could see that most students got used to his loud self.

"Today we will be doing special move training!" The students looked excited at the prospect of special moves, they had probably done this before so there wasn't any need for an introduction to the subject.

Hizashi came near me to talk. "Your work for today will be to supervise and give tips to the students ." I nodded. He continued in a loud-friendly tone.

"So, how has your first week here been? I heard you really shined in the rescue demonstration!"

"It's been fun staying here... Say how come Aizawa isn't around here?" Hizashi seemed surprised by my question.

"Well, since he expelled his entire class this year he has some free time compared to the rest of us. But not by much, he now takes care of class 2-B along with their Homeroom teacher until next year."

That made sense. "Well, I'll go around and see if I can help the students with any tips." Hizashi just nodded and wished me good luck.

I ran around the class for a while, helping where was possible, they were all second-year students, most already knew their quirks well enough.

I could see Nejire flying around and hitting one of Ectoplasm's clones with her energy waves. I was curious about her quirk, I could only remember it had great stamina consumption.

I flew closer to her platform and asked.

"Hey, what's your name?" I couldn't just act like I already know her.

She looked excited "Oh, my name is Nejire Hado, you must be Allan!" I think she got a bit distracted from the exercise.

We talked for a bit, mainly about our quirks, I told her more about mine, she seemed genuinely curious about its abilities and limitations. Usually, someone asking so fervently about your strengths and weaknesses doesn't mean well. But I can remember her being a curious person.

"Well, I've taken enough of your time. I'll leave you to your training!" Saying that I left her platform, I could already feel that I had taken a lot of time away from her training.

"We can talk later at lunch sometime!" She screamed in my direction. Couldn't see her face, I was already on the ground. She probably wants to know more about my quirk. I avoided giving her many details in our previous conversation.

After that, there wasn't much for me to do. I had an exam to take now.
