Episode 2: catchup and the spar
----------------------------------------
Three months later
"alright Izu Ashido you both have done amazing so far so it's time for your first spar."
it has been 3 months since Izuku's started training, he had balanced out most of physical stat. Although he focused mostly on Dex and a bit on Str, he even got a point in wisdom and luck, getting the wisdom point through talking with his dad about quirks and the luck through getting his dad to play a game called poker, his mom got upset at him for some reason.
Izuku Midoriya Lv: 4
Title: reborn hero
Hp:7,500
Qp: 13,000
Age: 5
Stats:
Str: 14
Dex: 18
Vit: 15
Int: 26
Wis: 24
Luk: 43
Points:10
It had been 3 months and in that time he leveled up spark breath to level 8 and dragon bond to 3 and got two more skills from his dad.
Candle ball lv 4 (max lv 30)
SPM (shots per move): 2 (plus one for every 5 levels)
DPS (damage per shot): 120 (plus 10 every 2 levels)
Cost: 300 QP (-10 every 10 levels)
Bisha Boom lv 1 (max lv 10)
Active
The user breathes a small ball of condensed fire that explodes upon hitting a surface, has a 10-foot radius.
Damage: 150 + 50 if hit by explosion (+20 every 2 levels)
Cost: 350 (-50 every 10 levels)
Candle ball took spark breath at lv 5 and Bisha boom a name Izuku himself came up with took candle ball at lv 3 and spark breath at lv 8 made his mom a bit upset that his father taught it but then he mentioned Katsuki and she was significantly less angry.
Speaking of Katsuki I haven't talked to him since the incident with mina, well except when he apologized to mina, but he was more than surprised when he saw announce and demonstrate his quirk, no there were tiny explosions coming out of his hands with how angry he was but other than that he just avoided Izuku like the plague.
Izuku was no longer avoided and picked on by others in his school (aside from Katsuki of course) and while others tried to make friends with him he never did, instead he talked to them, politely refused to hang out with them, and was more like a permanent acquaintance for them, with the sole exception of mina who he hung out with frequently.
But the icing on top of all of that was the bow staff he had gotten from his quest and the skill he had learned for it.
Bang
Type: staff
Rarity: uncommon
Quirk: size: able to grow or shrink 1 foot in length
Description: made by ? he tried to give no organic objects a quirk this was his first success named after Ruyi Jingu bang the staff wielded by wu kong the monkey king.
Beginner Whirlwind bojutsu style
Active/Passive
This bojutsu style uses spinning and momentum with small jabs at just the right times barely uses blocking instead has lots of parrying and dogging, allowing the user to get behind his opponent for quick easy takedowns.
Passive: 1.5x Str and Dex when using a staff
Active: + 10 damage for the duration of effect also for every hit adds an extra 5 damage for the next hit (ps. This stacks) for 5 minutes
Damage: (Str + Dex) *3 / 2 = DPH (damage per hit)
The staff was only a small surprise and a mystery, the style, on the other hand, had me looking at my perks were I found this
Old wind (you have a rudimentary understanding of the boundless whirlwind sword style, as such you can apply this to other weapons making styles for them based off of the sword style. Only available to those with a perk about the boundless whirlwind style.)
It confused and gave many questions as to how the perk system worked and what this perk meant for him so, remembering what happened with his status and just asked how the perks worked.
Perks are benefits that happen throughout your lifetime (or past life) that give you special bonuses like crafting recipes and boosts to certain actions and skills (please keep in mind none of these perks will give skills from quirks example: shooting fire, making lightning, and other supernatural abilities cannot be gained from perks.)
So... that was a thing though it didn't explain a perk that had been on his mind ever since he first saw it, geminal god, this brought up two things first: what the heck is a geminal? Second: IM A GOD?! I couldn't help but think 'WHAT THE FLYING FUCK' (hey if he learned one thing from Katsuki it was a very diverse and colorful vocabulary.)
The perk geminal (pronounced gem-E-nal) god was given for the nickname given to you by the Japanese for creating the material 'geminal' an atomic fusion of metal and gems able to do incredible things such as doubling any force or energy that passes through it, the name was given was 'kami geminal' or geminal god.
After reading that I calmed down some so that's what it was. the "atomic fusion" and "force and energy" thing was complicated though so he decided he would wait till he was older for that.
Other than that he had been training with his father, and after a month of talking and asking her father mina joined them to control her quirk and it looked like she had been making progress but it was only at the end of the second month, and a tree burned in frustration that he found the balls to tell his mother, father and the only person he saw as a friend about the second biggest secret in his life.
Flashback
Izuku Midoriya was nervous which in all honesty was not something new to him but this was different whereas before it was a small fight with Katsuki a scrape or a bruise at most this was something else, this was the truth about his quirk information that he was afraid of giving.
He almost hated the game for giving him a more advanced brain because it was making him think about the danger of telling them, it was making him hesitate, but he pushed through it enough to get them all in the backyard to tell them.
"Izuku'ssweetie we're all here what did you want to tell us?" his mother asked more than curious about what her son had asked them here for and with such an intense look on his face.
"it's about my quirk..." he started but hesitated before gaining resolve.
"I don't have dad's quirk." this statement had a different reaction for each person Inko looked in shock mina looked confused and Hizashi looked with curiosity.
"dad I no longer want you to teach me," Izuku said almost out of the blue but to Hizashi it felt like a ghost just passed through him.
Bond 'dragon' is no longer in use.
Izuku turned to mina next "mina please teach me."

this confused all "um sure Izuku." que ghost feeling.
Bond 'alien' has been made with Mina Ashido.
"mina use glob!" he said in an all too familiar pose (*cough* ash *cough*) and a confused but giggling she put out her hand and fired a glob of acid at a tree (critical hit!) it hit and caused a little burn on the tree Izuku put out his arm and a pebble of acid came out of his hand.
You have begun to learn the skill 'glob'
His mother gasped his father's eyes widened in surprise while mina looked at him with awe "th-this is my real quirk i…. I'm sorry I never told you I-I just heard the stories that kids with really strong quirk where… wh-where." Izuku started crying as he remembered a newspaper article about a kid who had been abducted because he had a quirk that allowed him to pull things towards him and then put them in a pocket dimension.
"Shh shhh it's ok Izu I understand I don't know how you know about that but I understand but know me and your father would never let that happen to you!" his mother said as she got down on her knees and hugged him his father joining her soon after.
"Yeah come on I could never let my little emerald go I would rather die than let any harm come to you." His father said the words soothing to Izuku.
"ya and if the bad guys ever do show up we'll beat them so hard they won't ever come back!" mina shouted in a voice that sounded hilarious in her voice so he laughed and cried as he realized he would never be alone, he would always have them this was a time for celebration a time for him to relax by his loved ones… and he
relished it for all it was worth.
Flash back end
----------------------------------------
His mother ended up getting him a quirk doctors appointment after he told them all that he knew about his quirk after a week he asked his parents to teach him about mythology.
----------------------------------------
Flashback 2: the flash returns
"Ok Izuku lets start with an easy one called spectral mythology which believes the same as Christianity except as humans and animals gained emotions god made embodiments of these emotions that watch over all m their domain it is said they took the forms of animals and governed the emotions they stand for there is in order of creation ion the whale of willpower, ophidian the snake of avarice or greed, parallax the bug of fear, butcher the bull of rage, Proselyte the octopus of compassion, Adara the bird of hope, and predator the being of love who no one really knows the animal it to there were lots of other smaller embodiments as well but these were the main ones the ones that were believed to be the strongest." Inko was finally done explaining a heavily watered-down version of the pantheon.
Movies over
----------------------------------------
Now it was time for the biggest thing in his life so far (besides telling his family and mina his quirk) his first spar, sure he and mina had exercised together before with little
bets but now they were gonna be fighting even if it was fake, also he got a quest.
First spar
Objectives: beat mina in 5 minutes
Rewards: 100 exp, upgrade to your Bo staff.
Fail: lose 1 lv in a random skill
Ok, it was official he was pumped "ok you have 2 minutes to get ready." Izuku ran over to his room and took out his staff he spent a little bit looking at the staff it was around 5 feet long it was a deep black 'dad called it vantablack didn't he?' in the middle about three feet from the center it turned from the strange black metal to bronze with carvings in it that made it look like there were bronze vines covering the ends It also made it bigger the circumference grew from 1.5 inches to 3 inches in the 2 feet from the middle to the end overall it was beautiful.
After that and checking his stats he looked at the book for the fighting style he got for finishing the stop Bakugo quest.
Beginners constricting stoat: tundra version
Description: a fighting style made 100 years before the first quirk appeared, this style is based on a stoat, The stoat, also known as the short-tailed weasel or simply the weasel in Ireland where the least weasel does not occur, is a mammal of the genus Mustela of the family Mustelidae native to Eurasia and North America, distinguished from the least weasel by its larger size and longer tail with a prominent black tip, meanwhile the tundra stoat is a large subspecies, with a dark-yellowish brown summer coat, a deep yellow underbelly, and a massive skull, it resembles Eurasian stoat subspecies more closely than any other American subspecies, as a result of being bigger it has bigger muscles but less flexibility this style focuses on putting your opponent's limbs in holds and snapping them, or constricting around the opponents body and crushing them.
Requirements to learn: 20 Dex, Str 22, Vit 15.
He will admit he had stopped working on Vit for Str and Dex and now he had enough he spent the 10 points he had and started reading, because of his high In the read it pretty fast and because of his high Wis he was able to retain a lot of what he read getting the general idea of the style and even learned a fair bit about 3 of the 10 moves in the beginners book when he saw he had thirty seconds left to accept the quest he got out and saw four notifications but only read one while he closed the other ones.
Stage one: constricting stoat: tundra version
Active/passive
Using mostly holds to snap bones and crush foes, stage one teaches constriction and breaking.
Passive: 1.5x Str and Dex when fighting with only hands/gauntlets
Active: lunges at the opponent if successful either deal 10 DPS for 30 seconds and cause status knocked out after 1 minute or deal 5 times the normal damage and cause status broken limb on one limb of your choosing
Damage: (Str + Dex) 4 / 2 = DPH (damage per hit)
He silently decided not to use the active ability on mina as he rushed to the training grounds with 10 seconds left and accepted the quest "yay you made it Izu, I was worried you got caught up and would be late!" mina said in her overly happy way while flailing her arms around from the place she was standing 20 feet away, on her head was an acid-proof helmet that fit her horns nicely while in her hands was an acid-proof pipe that looked like a cane had a hole from curved top to bottom with the bottom covered by a cap that at best she could put her thumb in he knew what it was for, of course, he had been the one to suggest it in the first place.
But he took this time to admire her lv.
Mina Ashido
{Alien princess} lv 6
Even though all the training he had done he she managed to get two lv's ahead of him and was plenty stronger than him she was also a good bit faster than him probably even now and had been catching up in intelligence and wisdom thanks to him tutoring her he even got a teaching skill for that but that was for a later time as his father just walked into the clearing.
"here are the rules for this fight 1) there will be no lethal attacks involved, that means that mina will keep her acid at barely burning and Izuku will keep his flames at 50 degrees Fahrenheit or lower any higher and you will be disqualified 2) to win one of three things must happen either you knock the other out, the other forfeits or you break a bone in the others body, neck, and groin shots are forbidden other than that anything goes is this agreed?"
He received two nods "ok then when this coin hits the ground you go." He got ready to flip the coin as a message appeared in front of Izuku.
Get ready
He flipped the coin
3
The coin spun in the air as Izuku got in a stance, staff at his right going from above him up to below him down in a diagonal line, left foot in front of him right behind him both twisted to the left while he leaned on his left leg bending it while his right leg was straight going diagonal behind him his left hand was over the top of his staff with the back of his hand facing the sky the right hand was underneath the bottom of his staff with its back facing the ground as if he was ready to swing the staff up and slam it down on the first thing that got in his way.
2
Mina also got in a stance with her feet much like Izuku's except her feet were facing forward, her hands, however, were much different as was her upper body she was leaning much more forward her right hand was hugging her side just below her ribs with her fist was holding the pipe like it was a cane with her thumb over the hole in the curve, her left arm was about six inches away from her body with her arm going diagonally from bottom left to top right with the back of her fist facing Izuku.
1
They both looked at each other and smiled the same thought going through their heads 'this is going to be fun!'
Go
The coin hit the ground and mina charged at Izuku running in zigzags Izuku waited until she was 5 feet away to swing his staff upward with his left hand and swung it in a diagonal arc from right to left, mina seeing this halted in her rush and dogged it by a foot but Izuku wasn't done he used the momentum of the swing to move the staff behind him flipping it behind his back and stepping forward he swung a horizontal swipe at her but this time she ducked under it and swung the pipe in a horizontal slash at him, now it was his turn to dodge
This continued for a while with them swinging at each other Izuku managed to hit mina Twice one on the left shoulder and once a jab that hit her knee.
-64
-65
Due to hitting the kneecap opponent mina has lost 0.5 Dex for 2 minutes (1 Dex = 2 mph running speed)
Mina also hit Izuku but she got him three times she got his stomach with the Cain then sweep kicked him and finished him off with a punch to the chin she would have hit him again but this was when he hit the knee by extending bang
-70
-20
-73
Seeing how he was getting beat he did something different, he jumped back and got into the same stance but this time he whispered: "whirlwind stance #1: raging maelstrom" with that the effect kick in his hands automatically started spinning his staff once, twice, three times spinning around and around behind side to side picking up momentum, you see the game only allowed for quick learning other than that all the other effects like the +10 damage are what would happen for anyone, in this case, the momentum of the staff is growing making it go faster and force = mass × acceleration or the faster something goes the more it hurts when it hits something.
Then he lunges once again he gets hit this time on the elbow -68 but this time he hits her four times once on her stomach -48 gain on her side this time -59 then her back making her hit the ground -63 -18 she bounces up just high enough for him to get under her "candle ball!" he shot two balls of fire subdued to make sure he didn't hurt her too much.
But she saw this coming "acid bullet" the bottom of her staff opened and shot two balls of acid that she sent through there her balls of acid were evaporated by the balls of fire thinking that was it over she got ready to land but what she didn't know was Izuku had dropped his staff he did a handstand and used his legs to grab her arm and slam her into the ground -55 then he subconsciously activated the active form of constricting stout and almost slivered behind her and got her in a hold.
Going behind her he puts his arms around her waist and wraps his feet around her neck and squeezes and after a minute of struggling she tapped out he let go and his dad called the match "wow, when did you get so strong Izu?" she asked still gasping for air.
"probably the 3 months of training from hell we went through," he responded gasping for air like his pink comrade they stare at each other and burst out laughing.
"good job you two, however, both of you barely used your quirks so for the next month we will be working on incorporating your quirks into your fighting style." at this he got two groans and one yes dad.
"that being said, good job you two that was miles above what I expected," he said with a gleam in his eye looking extremely proud.
"thank you!" they yelled at the same time it was a nice moment... that was interrupted by a message.
For winning a battle you have gained plus 2 Luk
Damn messages interrupting such a good time, oh well it was time to get started he was going to train his fighting style and give it everything he's got after all it's like what all those kids in UA say I'm gonna give it my all PLUS ULTRA.
