Chapter 2: Rabbit Trainer

Going to Mitsuki's house, Alex's eyebrows twitched as he sat down in front of the table. And the one in front of him was Katsuki.

She was growling at him like a rabid dog and he couldn't help but think that this was a bad idea.

"I'll kill you damnit! You don't understand what I'm doing!" Katsuki glared daggers at him.

"It doesn't matter what you're doing it for, you're hurting someone." Alex looked at her coldly.

"She won't give up! That damned nerd... She'll just let herself get killed!" Katsuki bristled and Alex sighed.

'So she's one of those huh?' Alex rolled his eyes at the stupidity of a teenager.

"Listen here, bomber girl. You can't force people to change their dreams like that. You talk them out of it. And if you can't, then you just have to support them with all you've got." Alex sighed.

"Tch, what kind of shitty advice is that? Deku will just continue wanting to be a hero then! And she'll get killed by her 1st villain encounter. I've tried testing her, yet she does jack shit to train!" Katsuki frowned.

"Of course she won't, she's had this thought that she's a useless, quirkless, waste for years. And nothing would get her out of that status, I wonder who did it, hmm?" Alex glared at her and her face twitched.

"Fine, fuck you. Deku's death is on your hands, Skellington" Katsuki huffed.

"S-Skellington!?" Alex was outraged. He wasn't that thin.

"Okay, kids. Dinner's here. And Katsuki, you better be thankful to Alex here, you ungrateful skank. He could've made your life miserable. If Alex sued you, you'll never be able to enter hero schools." Mitsuki dropped a bomb on her.

Katsuki's eyes widen and she actually shuddered in terror at the thought.

But all that terror suddenly changed into anger. Furious that her life was actually in Alex's hands.

"Heh, now be nice." Alex smirked at her and Katsuki gritted her teeth so hard it almost shattered.

*Affection with Katsuki Bakugou -1000. Relationship status turning into rage-inducer.*

'Wha? Not even dislike? This girl has some major issues.' Alex looked at her weirdly. She even has a perpetual frown on her face.

Surprisingly, she ate elegantly. Like a yamato nadeshiko. All prim and proper. He thought she would be like a savage.

"Huh? What the fuck are you looking at you skellington bastard!" Katsuki screamed at him and Alex thought his ears would implode.

"Katsuki! Stop yelling goddamnit! We're eating over here!" Mitsuki yelled back.

"Shut up you hag! He's definitely trying to annoy me!" Katsuki began a shouting match with her.

'Better get used to this fast.' Alex just ate silently, watching the two yell at each other.

__Next Morning__

Alex was already up and about. And he was jogging in place at a certain apartment nearby.

He waited for a few minutes and someone almost stumbled through the gates.

"Ohh, be careful. Ladies should be more careful." Alex caught Izumi and she froze.

"Y-yes..." Izumi gulped and she blushed as he looked at his blue eyes.

'S-so pretty... They're like the ocean.' Izumi was starstruck.

"Come on then, Izumi. Let's get this show on the road." He smiled at her while giving her a sports drink.

"Y-yes!" Izumi started running with him and they went for a morning jog.

"Ummm... Why are you doing this?" Izumi asked him as they stopped on a bench in a park.

They were both winded as Alex was out of shape right now. Unlike in his future body that can finish iron man triathlons easily.

"What do you mean by that?" Alex drank from his bottle as he raised a brow.

"Help me, I mean... I'm quirkless. And at most, I can only be a police officer or something." Izumi winced.

"Hah, don't sell yourself short Izumi. People can be anything they want! You just need the guts to do it." He smiled, nodding sagely.

After all, he became a wizard. Though he died shortly after. He was supposed to be a combat mage.

"Y-you think so?" Izumi looked down on the ground.

"Of course, you might not be like Allmight, Star and Stripes, or the Divine Celestial from China. But you can be a hero." Alex patted her on the back.

"W-who..." Izumi whispered softly. "Come again?" Alex went closer.

"Name me heroes that are quirkless..." Izumi frowned and she just couldn't think of people that could become great without quirks.

"Hmmm, how about knuckle duster? That old guy sure is funny. He just uses brass knuckles and punches the shit out of people." Alex did some research and he found that vigilantes were a thing too.

"Knuckle duster?" Izumi blinked and Alex showed her a video of him tussling with a villain using a transformation quirk.

"See? And you're asking how I know he doesn't have one?" Alex could see the question from a mile away.

"How'd you read my mind? Is it your quirk? Is it a telepathic one? Or one where you see the future? Mgh!" Alex covered her mouth as she rapid fired questions.

"No, it isn't. Mine is a transformation one too. But enough of that, this guy fights with pure boxing. And his blows are appropriate for his build and size. He isn't enhanced by anything." Alex saw it and it was just pure martial arts.

"For real? On god?" Izumi blinked. "Uhh, wait a minute... For real, for real, on god." He looked up some slang to be in with the teens.

"That's so cool..." Izumi watched the old guy that was wearing a bandana fight villains.

"What about this sliding guy?" Izumi saw someone wear a limited edition jacket of Allmight.

"He's called murloc or something? Look at him, he's like a cockroach guhaha! But he can take down villains and help knuckle duster. His quirk is basically crap, just sliding around." Alex was trying to prove a point.

"You're right... And by how fast he's sliding, he's most likely only as fast as a bicycle? What's the activation conditions of his quirk? How about momentum?" Izumi started grumbling and he smiled.

"You know, you remind me of someone that can take down super villains with just his mind alone." Alex smiled softly.

"Really? Who is it?" Izumi got excited. "Wayne, Bruce. Manbat! Though he uses his superpower called money to supplement his fleshy and soft body." Alex shrugged.

"Who is that?" Izumi didn't quite know who the hell that was.

"Ohh, he's a pre-quirk era hero in fiction. He works with people in the league of equity." He showed her some comics of them.

Izumi read them pretty quickly and she was hooked. He checked out the comics there and they were surprisingly famous before the ETA of quirks.

"So he's just really good at fighting? And he has a few upgrades with his armor?" Izumi's eyes were sparkling.

"Yeah, so you can still be a hero if you use your brains and brawn together. Even without a superpower." He gave her a thumbs up.

"Y-you're right... Thanks for this, Alex." She beamed at him.

*Izumi Midoriya's affection rose to +1000. For being a friend she never had. And for saving her from her cycle of depression, not to mention the blonde bomber.

Relationship status turned into 1st crush.* Alex went wide eyed at that notif.

'Fuck, did I just seduce a kid? No, no, she just has a crush on me. Not really a forbidden love. Besides, aren't I a teen right now? No! That's just weird...' Alex was having a mental breakdown.

"Okay! Next is we learn how to fight." Alex smacked his cheeks and he pulled on Izumi.

"Ahh, where are we going?" Izumi was surprised.

"To my personal gym, where our trainer awaits." He grinned and they arrived back at his sizeable home.

__Other POV__

"Where the hell is this kid? He's got some nerve, trying to pay me for some lessons. But not appearing for it." Someone was ringing the doorbell like crazy.

"Hey! Sorry, we were out on our morning run!" Alex waved at her and she raised a brow.

'Hmm, at least it isn't due to oversleeping. I'll forgive him I guess.' She grinned at them.

"Running around all sweaty with your girlfriend? You sure are virile, kid. I hope you keep that up later." She smirked.

"Awawawa! I'm not Alex's girlfriend... And wait a minute, you're the number 5 hero! Mirko!" Izumi squealed.

"Huh? A fan? I don't get a lot of those. I'm Rumi Usagiyama, call me Mirko, kid." She introduced herself.

And the reason she isn't top 3 behind Endeavor, a flame hero, and of course Allmight. Is because she's a lone wolf, which is ironic.

'Hmmm, these kids are lanky and squishy... I guess it's just a rich one with tons of money. I do need it... Damned fines and collateral damage.' She almost huffed.

The only reason she accepted Alex's offer after getting a message is due to the Hero Public Safety Commission fining her.

Because she's too violent and such and such. Not to mention the collateral damage she inflicts.

"My quirk is rabbit, pretty underwhelming right? Well, think again! Because I have super speed, senses, and strength!" Mirko flexed her muscles.

Alex nodded sagely. He picked her for a reason, paid a lot too.

While Izumi looked at her with awe. Her quirk is underwhelming if you look at it. She's like a rabbit, that's it.

But she pushed it to the limits. And her body is rippling with strong muscles.

'Oh no, she's hot.' Izumi couldn't help but think.

"Let's start, you've already graciously warmed up for me." Mirko smiled at them and they changed into training clothes.

"Nice set-up you have here." Mirko nodded at Alex's crib.

"Thanks, designed it by myself." He was pleased by her compliment.

"Now, attack me with all you've got." Mirko gestured for them to come and Alex immediately rushed at her.

Izumi was dumbstruck as Alex showed a surprising amount of martial skill.

"Hoh? It seems you're well trained. But you're too slow!" Mirko kicked him and Alex flew.

"Alex! Why'd you do that!?" Izumi glared at her.

"I like that look in your eye, come then." Mirko taunted her.

But Izumi couldn't, she haven't been in a fight since her birth.

"Pussy, look at him. He's standing back up." Rumi pointed at Alex.

'I was hoping that he'll just cancel and give me half of the deposit. I guess he's better than I thought.' Mirko grinned and Alex squinted his eyes.

"This wasn't in the contract, Rumi. You're using excessive force. I'm fine being hit, but you just violated our contract." Alex held his ribs, some of them were definitely broken.

"Hoh? What're you gonna do about it?" She was fearless.

"According to the breach of contract, you'll pay me 500 million yen. After all, I paid 100 million upfront. It's only natural." Alex shrugged as Rumi immediately scrambled for her phone.

And as strong as she was, she isn't the smartest tool in the shed.

"No way..." Rumi wasn't smart, but she isn't an idiot. She knew that Alex could hire the best lawyers. And her career would take a big hit.

"Fuck... Fine, I'll train you or whatever..." She grumbled as this will cut down on her time as a hero.

"Good! Now I'll add another one to the mix. I'm self-taught. And Izumi here wants to be a hero while quirkless." Alex patted her back.

Mirko looked at her for a good second. "You've got big dreams, kid. But do you have the guts for it?" She gave a grin towards her and Izumi gulped.

Rumi reminded her of Katsuki a little bit too much. But she won't give up.

"I don't... But I will." Izumi gave a determined expression and Mirko nodded.

"I can respect that, but don't tell yourself something you can't uphold. Let's get started!" Rumi ran at her and Izumi got beaten up black and blue by Mirko.

Though, with her analytical mind. Izumi was starting to learn a lot from Mirko and Alex. She watched them spar and she integrated their fighting style.
