BNHA: Singularity

With Pixie-bob's Quirk, Earth Flow, allowing her to manipulate, shape, and even 'program' soil to do whatever she wanted, Izuku had a functionally infinite supply of beast-like golems, known as Earth Beasts, to combat for Experience. They weren't nearly as intelligent as the clones produced by Ectoplasm, but their sheer numbers had Izuku running around the forest, dodging and counterattacking with a smile on his face.
"This is insane..." muttered Izuku, narrowly evading the whip-like tail of an Earth Dragon. In the same motion, he spun his body, executing a spinning back kick that tore through the dragon's soil-comprised body like a fragile sand castle.
Though his attacks were a lot weaker since he reduced his Strength and Agility, Izuku's elevated Intelligence and Dexterity more than made up for it. Dexterity was an attribute that influenced a person's senses, balance, and spatial awareness, so Izuku was quickly getting used to controlling the output of One-for-All on the fly. This was of paramount importance as, fairly early on in his training, he discovered the link between One-for-All's energy output and his physical attributes.
Since One-for-All only got stronger over time, Izuku could theoretically tap into the full power of All Might whenever he pleased. However, much like the original Izuku, doing so would have disastrous consequences. In the worst-case scenario, his limbs would burst apart, forever crippling or outright killing him.
To condition his body to accept all of One-for-All, Izuku had intended to experiment with various stat distributions. As fate would have it, setting his Strength and Agility to 10 while his Vitality was at 100 was the perfect balance of attributes. So long as he didn't exert himself, he could maintain a 'permanent' 10x modifier to all his physical stats. More importantly, as a 10:1 ratio was extremely easy to work with, Izuku was able to quantify his 'limit' without the need for guesswork.
After some experimentation, Izuku learned that every time his attributes doubled, the burden it placed on his Vitality tripled. At 100 Strength and Agility, a 10x enhanced punch wouldn't have any detrimental impact, but if he increased the multiplier to 20x, he suddenly began hemorrhaging 200 points of Vitality every second. If he then doubled his physical attributes a second time, effectively granting him 400 Strength and Agility, the cost increased to 600 Vit per second.
Fortunately, whenever Izuku used One-for-All's power to strengthen his physical attributes, his Vitality received twice the amount. A 10x increase in Strength/Agility/Dexterity would result in a 20x increase in Vitality, so if he was smart and only intensified his power at the exact moment before his attacks, he could increase his power to a truly ludicrous extent without needing to fear sequelae.
With a base Strength and Agility of 10 and a Vitality of 100, Izuku's current limits were something along the lines of:
100/2,000(no notable side effects)
200/4,000(200pps for 20 seconds)
400/8,000(600pps for 13 seconds)
800/16,000(1,800pps for 8.8 seconds)
1,600/32,000(5,400pps for 6 seconds)
3,200/64,000(16,200pps for 4 seconds)
6,400/128,000(48,600pps for 2 seconds)
12,800/256,000(145,800pps for 1 second)
While these numbers might seem ridiculous, Izuku knew he still had a long way to go before he was anywhere near All Might's strength in his prime. The man had feats such as guiding a stadium filled with 50,000 people safely to the ground and dispersing a literal tidal wave before it could make landfall. Thus, while increasing his attributes to 12,800 with a meager base of 10 was undeniably insane, Izuku didn't let it get to his head. After all, the boost barely lasted a second, and if he made a mistake in his timing, he was unquestionably fucked.
Having stumbled across the 10:1 golden ratio early on, Izuku's best path forward was to grind Strength and Agility utilizing the burden One-for-All placed on his body. He could then repurpose those points for Vitality and Luck, the former to increase the power he could draw out of One-for-All and the latter to bolster his Experience gains. Every ten Levels caused the Experience between Levels to become the total of the previous ten, so it was only a matter of time before he plateaued. Increasing his Luck would offset this, but even that wouldn't help him when the Experience between Levels reached the trillions...
...

.
A week before the UA Sports Festival, Izuku was advised by Toshinori to take some time off to enjoy Golden Week, a period where several national holidays transpired in quick succession. Izuku was hesitant at first, as his Level had increased significantly in a short period, but he relented fairly quickly when Toshinori pointed out there were several girls that probably wanted to spend time with him.

------------------------
Though he was hoping to reach Level 30 by the time of the Sports Festival, Izuku was fairly content with his progress. He had confirmed a lot of things during his training, so it was only a matter of time before he attained the strength necessary to achieve his goals. Unfortunately, he wouldn't have Pixie-bob to rely on as she ultimately had to return to her team.
Dismissing such thoughts from his mind, Izuku was staring intently at his phone as he stood outside a movie theater, patiently awaiting the arrival of his date. At a glance, his phone appeared to show a somewhat messy picture of a girl's bed, but if you looked closely, you would notice a clear indentation in the mattress surface and the faint outline of a naked, lightly powdered girl in some 'very' risque poses.
Breaking Izuku from his focused state, the increasingly familiar voice of Toru asked him, "What'cha looking at~?"
Instead of feigning innocent, Izuku revealed his screen to Toru, smiling as he teased, "You tell me..."
Recognizing the photo as the one she had sent shortly after Izuku asked if she wanted to see a movie together, Toru blushed up to her ears and attempted to snatch the phone from his hands. Izuku quickly raised it out of her reach, so she ended up grinding against him for a pleasantly lengthy period before stopping, stamping her feet, and saying, "If you're going to bully me, I'm not going to send you anymore!"
Adopting a faint smile, Izuku locked his screen and slid his phone into his pocket. Then, catching Toru by surprise, he took advantage of their close proximity to wrap his arms around her, his smile broadening as he said, "I just couldn't wait to see you, so I needed something to keep me occupied until the real deal showed up..."
Though it was the first time Izuku was touching her outside their training, Toru didn't attempt to break free from his grasp. Instead, she leaned into him, her invisible face and eyes turned up as she said, "I really mean it...if you bully me, I won't forgive you..."
Interpreting Toru's words as her way of saying he shouldn't play with her feelings, Izuku's smile softened as he whispered, "I won't...I promise..." in a sincere tone. Pixie-bob's teasing during their training had nearly caused him to pounce, but he managed to endure since it was fairly obvious Toru had caught feelings. He would be fooling himself if he said he felt nothing in turn, so he was ready to make things official if she was...
With Izuku strengthening his hold on her body, the fluttery sensation in Toru's chest compounded greatly. If she were being completely honest, she thought things were advancing too quickly. However, as Izuku was the first boy she seriously had a crush on, she eventually closed her eyes and puckered her lips. Unfortunately, Izuku had no way of noticing this, so she ultimately had to summon even more courage to kiss him directly...
...
..
.
After returning home from a movie he couldn't even remember the name of, Izuku collapsed in his bed and stared at his ceiling with a completely blank look on his face. He and Toru hadn't made things official with their words, but they held hands throughout the movie and he even walked her home, the complete opposite direction of his, after the fact.
Recalling the parting kiss Toru had gifted him, the listless look on Izuku's face gradually gave way to a smile. It was chaste and very brief, but the feelings within weren't lacking. He could tell that Toru 'like-liked' him, so most of his short-term plans came crashing down around him. He would still accept an Internship with Mirko if she gave him the option, but now, even if he 'did' have a chance with her, it seemed fate had other ideas...
*bzzzz*
Feeling his phone buzz in his pocket, Izuku was unsurprised to find the message originated from Toru. Seeing it caused the smile on his face to broaden, but the moment he opened it up, his expression became fixed like a statue...
'Sorry, Izuku-kun, but I don't think I'm ready to take our relationship to the next level. Spending time with you makes me the happiest I've ever been, but I know there are a lot of girls in our Class who like you. Going around behind their backs and sending you lewd photos makes me feel like I've stolen you away from them, so, at least for the time being, I think we should remain good friends. If you're still single come Winter break, I promise to confess to you properly then...'
"..."
After reading the message multiple times, Izuku hesitated for a moment before replying, 'I understand. I also know this couldn't have been easy for you, so I won't make things harder by trying to convince you. Instead, if we're both still available come New Year's, I'll give you a lot more than a simple confession...'
Finished with his message, Izuku pressed send before tossing his phone aside. He had heard that High School romances were filled with drama, but this was beyond his expectations. It almost felt like Toru had betrayed him, but he knew that wasn't a fair assessment. On the contrary, she was giving him a chance to figure things out before their relationship crossed a point that couldn't be backpedaled. It was a 'sensible' decision from a girl who very clearly had intense feelings for him, so Izuku did his best not to overthink things as he got out of bed, sat at his desk, set his headphones to their max volume, and got to work securing his future...
...
..
.
Reading Izuku's response, the tears that Toru had barely been able to get under control came back in full. Breaking things off with Izuku was one of the hardest things she had ever done, but she couldn't stand the feeling of having 'betrayed' the other girls in Class 1-A. It was obvious to her that Ochaco, Tsuyu, and even Yaoyorozu had feelings for Izuku, so she didn't think it was fair to them that she had gotten close to him while they were distracted and preparing for the Sports Festival. There was also the girl named Mei Hatsume, who Toru had secretly approached while Izuku was conducting his special training, so, even if it pained her heart, she did her best to push down her feelings for everyone else's happiness...
...
..
.

With the conclusion of Golden Week, the day of the UA Sports Festival had finally arrived. Class 1-A had been asked to gather in a waiting room so they could step out onto the field together, so Izuku promptly headed that way after getting changed into his gym uniform.
As usual, Izuku was one of the very first to arrive, appearing second only to Yaoyorozu. When she noticed him entering, her expression blossomed into a smile as she commented, "You're looking especially focused today, Midoriya-kun. I take it you're satisfied with the preparations you made for the Sports Festival?"
Adopting a smile of his own, Izuku confidently replied, "I'm planning to take first in the entire event. But let's both give it our all."
Extending his fist for a bump, the corners of Izuku's smile curled upward when Yaoyorozu initially just stared at it. When she eventually realized his intentions, the faintest of blushes colored her cheeks as she reciprocated the gesture and replied, "Yes, let's give it our all! As for your declaration of claiming first...I won't make things easy for you!"
Retracting his hand, Izuku remarked, "I would be disappointed if you did. I trained hard for this day..."
Noticing a familiar figure enter the waiting room, Izuku's words gradually trailed off as his gaze 'met' Toru's. He couldn't actually see her face, but he was certain their gazes had met since she abruptly stopped, standing stock still in the entrance.
Following Izuku's gaze, Yaoyorozu, seemingly unaware of the sudden tension, beamed as she said, "Oh, Hagakure-san! Midoriya-kun and I were discussing the Sports Festival. He claims he'll be taking first place, so let's both do our best to stop him!"
Freed from her stupor, Toru pumped her fists and replied, "Of course! I trained super-duper extra hard for today's festival, so I won't be yielding the crown that easily...!"
Seeing Toru back to her usual self, or at least pretending to be, Izuku felt obliged to play along, regaining his smile as he said, "Then I'll have to do my best."
With that said, Izuku, Yaoyorozu, and Toru made casual conversation until their remaining classmates began trickling in. Izuku thought of separating himself from the duo once another girl arrived, but he became stuck when Ochaco, Tsuyu, and Mina entered the waiting room together. He had been radio silent the latter half of Golden Week, so Mina, in particular, had a lot of questions she wanted answers to before she was willing to let him go...
...
..
.
"Now, let's hear a ripping round of applause for our First Year students! Starting with the Department of Heroes', Class 1-A...!!!"
Prompted by Present Mic's introduction, Izuku and the rest of his Class made their way out onto a circular grass field, surrounded by a stadium packed to the brim with well over 50,000 people.
Since many of his classmates were nervous about having so many eyes on them, Izuku gave them at least a basic idea of what they should be doing by raising his hand, smiling, and waving. The entire purpose of the Sports Festival was to show off, appeal to Pro Heroes, and impress future Sponsors. Displaying confidence and making a good first impression was nearly as important as your actual performance.
Following Class 1-A's entrance, Class 1-B from the Hero Course, Classes 1-C, D, and E from the General Course, Classes 1-F, G, H from the Support Course, and Classes 1-I, J, and K from the Business Course made their way onto the field. There was very little fanfare for the General, Support, and Business Classes, but Class 1-B was nearly as popular as 1-A due to the latter having no real hand in repelling the Villains during the attack on USJ.
Once each of the Classes had taken their positions, Midnight, wearing her incredibly scant Hero costume, made her way onto the field, climbing the stairs to an elevated platform as the crowd and many among the students celebrated her arrival.
After reaching the microphone that had been prepared for her, Midnight flicked her leather BDSM whip and shouted, "Silence, everyone! It's now time for the Student Pledge! As for the Representative of the First Years, I call Izuku Midoriya to the stage...!"
Blinking in surprise, countless thoughts invaded Izuku's mind, chief among them being, ("What the fuck?") followed by, ("Shouldn't it be Todoroki or another one of the referral students...?")
Despite the many questions appearing in his mind, Izuku made his way up to the stage with a practiced, casual, and confident smile. He wasn't one of the people who feared public speaking, but he would be lying if he said it wasn't a little unnerving to be the focus of tens of thousands of people, and that was just in the stands. The international viewership of the Sports Festival exceeded 300,000,000, so there were 'a lot' of eyes on him...
Making his way up to the prepared microphone, Izuku raised his gaze to the crowd, forcibly maintaining his mask as he considered what he should say. He was ultimately the Representative of all the First Years present, so while it was tempting to say something arrogant, doing so would come at the cost of his public image and rapport.
After a brief moment of consideration, aided by his combined Intelligence and Dexterity, Izuku calmly stated, "Though it's only been a month since we became students at UA, everyone here is giving it their all to carve a path toward their future. While the Hero Course is undoubtedly the focus of today's events, please show some consideration for those in the other Departments. In a world where Quirks make anything possible, physical fitness and combat proficiency are not the only metrics for talent. Please keep that in mind."
Punctuating his speech with a bow, Izuku was relieved when the crowd practically erupted. Humility, especially in the strong, was a trait that was greatly appreciated by the public. If Izuku was going to become the No. 1 Pro in the future, even if only for a short while, he needed to have at least some awareness of how others perceived him.
Pressing a button in her palm that disabled the mic, Midnight surprised Izuku by remarking, "My, aren't you a little cutie..." before punctuating her words with a playful wink. "Now, get off the stage so we can proceed with the first event."
Responding with a curt nod, Izuku descended from the stage and retook his place among the students of Class 1-A. They were asked to stand in order of their seating chart, so Yaoyorozu was only two spaces behind him, ignoring the fact Mineta was between them as she said, "That was an incredible speech, Midoriya-kun. I understand why you were chosen as the Representative of all the First Years."
Speaking from Izuku's right, Sero added, "Yeah. If it were me, I would have tried showing off to market myself. Guess I still have a lot to learn before becoming a Pro, huh?"
Adopting a faint smile, Izuku replied, "We all do." before adding, "Also, we should probably quiet down. Midnight-sensei is glaring at us..."
As she could hear Izuku's remark, Midnight narrowed her blue eyes in amusement before flipping on her mic and shouting, "Without further ado, it's time to get started! The first game is what you call a qualifier. In other words, this is where you begin feeling the pain...!"
Striking a pose with her whip, a holographic display appeared behind Midnight, a roulette-like wheel appearing on the screen as she mused, "The first game of the festival is...what could it be~?"
In response to Midnight's words, the roulette abruptly came to a stop, revealing the words 'Obstacle Race' in big, bold letters. At the same time, Midnight snapped her whip and exclaimed, "Ta-da! The first event will be an Obstacle Race! The track is a four-kilometer obstacle course that runs around the stadium~!"
Directing a narrow-eyed gaze to the students below, Midnight licked her lips and added, "I don't want to restrain anyone, at least not in this game. As long as you don't leave the course, everyone here is free to do as their heart desires! Now then, take your places, contestants! It's time to show everyone here what you can do...!"
As the crowd erupted in response to Midnight's words, the eleven First Year Classes raced to be the first at the starting point. Those with keen eyes and common sense could see that the opening wasn't very wide, so if you found yourself at the back of the pack, you would need to wait for everyone else to get through before doing so yourself.
Contrasting the frenzy of the other students, Izuku intentionally took his time reaching the gate. What he didn't anticipate, though he really should have, was for his actions to draw the attention of some of his classmates. More specifically, Ochaco and Tsuyu came over to him, the latter taking the initiative to ask, "What's up, Izuku-chan? Don't you want to get a good position at the gate?"
Adding to Tsuyu's words, Ochaco exclaimed, "Yeah! If we don't hurry and take our positions, we'll end up getting entangled like the students during the evacuation!"
Understanding that the duo was compromising their placements out of concern for him, Izuku's smile broadened as he replied, "Thanks for your concern, but I won't have any trouble getting through the gate. And if you combine your powers, I bet the two of you can leap over the entire group in a single bound."
Touching her bottom lip out of habit, Tsuyu asked, "Is that even allowed? I know Midnight-sensei said we could do whatever we wanted, but this is still a competition. Teaming up feels like cheating."
Shaking his head, Izuku asserted, This might be a competition, but it's also an opportunity for us to demonstrate the types of Heroes we wish to become. Most of the Scouts won't be looking for hotheaded powerhouses that can sweep through a group of Villains in the blink of an eye. I imagine the vast majority will be searching for capable and cooperative individuals they can potentially groom into Sidekicks."
"That...makes a lot of sense..." remarked Tsuyu.
Spurred by Izuku's words, Ochaco's face blossomed into a smile as she asked, "If that's the case, then why don't the three of us team up!? If we work together, I'm certain we can sweep through the competition...!"
Adopting a markedly wrier smile, Izuku explained, "I would like that, but there's just one problem."
"What's that?" asked Ochaco, tilting her head curiously.
"I'm a guy, and the two of you are cute girls," explained Izuku. "If I were to carry you or run with you on my back, nearly every male in the stadium would come to resent me."
"Ah..."
Envisioning the scene of her clinging to Izuku as he ran at full speed, a faint blush colored Ochaco's perpetually blushing cheeks. As for Tsuyu, she offered one of her characteristic 'keros' before pointing out, "Maybe, but it's a good way to show people you're capable of performing rescues. Being able to transport people to safety is an important skill for a Hero to have. That's especially true for people with reinforcement Quirks, ribbit..."
Realizing there was a considerable amount of truth to Tsuyu's words, Izuku paused for a moment before adopting a broad smile and saying, "If that's the case, I wouldn't mind carrying the two of you to the finish line. But won't that be pretty embarrassing?"
Without so much as a second of deliberation, Tsuyu replied, "I don't really mind, ribbit. This is just the first round of the Sports Festival, so we'll have plenty of chances to show off if we perform well in this event."
Emboldened by Tsuyu's words, Ochaco pumped her fists in a guts pose as she appended, "Let's do this!" with a resolute smile. The thought of being carried by a boy on international television honestly scared her. However, since the boy in question was Izuku, she was, for reasons she didn't fully understand, more excited than afraid...
...
..
.

Hearing Izuku's firm, heartfelt response, Hagakure felt her chest tighten, her heart skipping a beat. At the same time, her legs instinctually closed, clamping her thighs together as an unbridled sense of giddiness swelled within her.
Feeling Hagakure's rapidly increasing heartbeat through his palm, Izuku swallowed audibly. He planned to wait until after the internships before approaching the girls in his Class seriously, but if Hagakure gave him the go-ahead, he doubted he would be able to restrain himself...
Fortunately, or perhaps not, Hagakure abruptly released her hold on Izuku's hand, her voice sounding audibly nervous as she turned away from him and said, "I...Let's end things here for today. Sorry if it seems like I'm not taking our training seriously. I just...I need time to think..."
Nodding his head, Izuku's expression and tone softened as he said, "I understand. Just remember to text me if you want to talk. If not, I'll see you tomorrow..."
Looking up at Izuku, a necessary action considering the 18cm gap in their heights, Hagakure's eyes glistened invisibly as she said, "Do you mind...I mean, can you close your eyes for a moment?"
Instead of responding with his words, Izuku closed his eyes, expectation building within his heart. Moments later, he felt a warmth near his body, a pair of hands grasping his arm and pulling him down slightly as something soft pressed against his cheek, lingering briefly before Hagakure released him and took off running...
Pressing his fingers to his cheek, Izuku's expression was a mix between awe and perplexity as he thought to himself, ("I may need to stop fooling around...")
Though he considered himself a bit of a bastard, engaging in more one-night stands than he could count, Izuku, at least when he lived as David, took committed relationships very seriously. He would never forgive a girl who cheated on him, so he afforded his partners the same courtesy. The one time he didn't, getting revenge against one of his cheating exes by sleeping with her best friend, he regretted it immensely. After all, while revenge was sweet, especially in the heat of the moment, the aftertaste was extremely bitter...
Shaking such thoughts from his mind, Izuku took a moment to look around the gym before deciding he should head home. He also felt the need to sort his thoughts, so he sent a quick text to Mei, explaining that he had something to take care of before walking the entire way home on foot...
...
..
.
After reaching home and ensuring his mother everything was okay, Izuku retired to his room, donning a pair of headphones to listen to music as he absentmindedly perused his portfolio and filled out the request forms for the materials Mei asked him to purchase. Japan was one of the more anal countries when it came to monitoring the flow of materials, Support items, and other goods that could potentially be used with malicious intent, so it was important to be as above board as possible to avoid being visited or audited by the JNP(Japanese National Police) or the PSIA(Public Security Intelligence Agency).
Fortunately, Izuku's results during middle school and his reputation in the International Support Community made things significantly easier for him than most people. His backup school, had he failed to enter UA, was the world-famous I-Island Academy. They had guaranteed him a study grant and a full-ride scholarship if he became a student, but Izuku refused after learning he had been accepted to AU. Still, with several Executives on the Board of Directors paying attention to him, Izuku had an inordinately high 'trust rating' with the companies who sold and distributed various, difficult to acquire materials.
*ding*
"..."
Though he had eagerly awaited Nezu's message the entire week, Izuku didn't immediately rouse to check his phone. He already had a good idea of its contents, so he just stared at it from across the room as he thought, ("What shitty timing...")
Finished with his griping, or at least shelving it for later, Izuku got from his bed to check his phone. Unsurprisingly, the message he had received was from Principal Nezu, happily informing him that the arrangements for his special training were finally completed. Though, as it was fairly late in the day, he would need to wait until tomorrow to begin.
"Haaaaaa..."
While he was relieved that he could finally start grinding, Izuku wasn't too happy with Nezu's timing. At the very least, that was the case until he saw that one of his recent messages was from Hagakure. He had been so out of it earlier he had completely forgotten about telling her to text him if she wanted to talk.
Expecting a much longer message, Izuku was somewhat surprised when he opened his DMs with Hagakure to find the words, 'Sorry for bailing on you earlier. I hope this makes up for it.' with an attached image that could only be unlocked with his fingerprint.
Suppressing his nerves, Izuku pressed his thumb to the screen, letting it scan his fingerprint before going wide-eyed when he saw what Hagakure had sent him. The image was of a predominately pink bedroom filled with a startling amount of stuffed animals. More importantly, the central focus of the image was a pale blue brassiere and a pair of panties floating in the air...of special note was that the brassiere was positioned in such a way that it suggested Hagakure had hiked it up to expose her breasts...
As Hagakure had been staring daggers at her phone, waiting for Izuku to open the image, it wasn't long before a follow-up text came, asking, 'What do you think?' in a way that somehow conveyed her anxiety, even through text.
Coming to his senses, Izuku took a moment to consider his response before typing, 'I was wrong...you aren't simply beautiful. You're sexy as hell...'
Though it was 'very' faint, Izuku had noticed that if he looked closely, Hagakure had powdered her breasts to make them barely visible. There were no notable details on display, but it was possible to make out the contours of her remarkably full breasts...
Less than five seconds after his response, Izuku felt a hint of giddiness as Hagakure asked, 'Would you like some more?' Then, without waiting for his response, she sent him another locked attachment, this time showing her panties pulled halfway down her slightly parted thighs. What he didn't know was that she was also using the fingers of her right hand to display something far more tantalizing...he just couldn't see it...
As Izuku had always suspected but very quickly came to learn, Hagakure, or, more accurately, Toru was a bit of an exhibitionist. It helped that even her sweat, blood, and other bodily fluids were invisible...
...
..
.
With Nezu's message reaching him on a Saturday, Izuku was one of the only kids at school when he went in for his special training. It was set to occur in one of the forest training zones behind the school, but before making his way over, Izuku stopped by the Development Studio to drop off tea, coffee, and donuts for Mei and Power Loader.
Though she was a little disappointed to learn Izuku would be too busy to stop by until after the Sports Festival, Mei quickly forgave him when he gave her the list of materials he had managed to secure orders. He wasn't able to get everything she wanted, but as he had previously 'given' her his &yen;30,000,000 toolset, she didn't have any complaints. Izuku had a few, but Mei outright rejected his request to have her call the toolset anything but Papa's Baby Makers...
...
..
.
After an unexpectedly long stay in the Development Studio, the result of Mei forcing him to name their newest 'children,' Izuku made his way to his destination, a vast forest filled with rocky outcrops called Training Ground Omega. There, standing near the base of a massive observation tower, he quickly spotted the Principal, All Might, and the person he presumed had been chosen to aid in his special training. What surprised Izuku was that he recognized said person immediately...
Standing at 167cm and possessing a mature figure that simultaneously exuded youthful vigor, the Pro chosen to assist in Izuku's special training was named Ryuko Tsuchikawa, better known by her Hero name: Youthful Heroine, Pixie-bob.
As a member of the Wild, Wild Pussycats, a cat-themed Hero Idol group specializing in search and rescue, Pixie-bob's costume resembled the sleeveless top and short skirt combo often worn by Idols during stage performances. She also wore a silver headpiece/visor resembling a cat's ears, oversized cat paw gloves, and a striped, blue and white cat tail. With her sharp, intelligent blue eyes, athletic figure, and stylish blonde hair, it wasn't an exaggeration to say she was an exceptionally attractive woman. So much so that Izuku couldn't believe he had disregarded her when he was considering potential partners...
...
..
.
Noticing Izuku's approach, Pixie-bob curled her hands up in a cutesy cat pose and remarked, "Meow, meow, meow~! Is this the little kitten you've prepared to have me teach~? He's a little cutie, isn't he~?"
Nodding his head, Nezu replied, "Midoriya-kun is a fine young man. And he'll make an exceptional Hero. However, please remember that while you're on campus, you are expected to follow the school's provisions and guidelines. We have a very strict policy against teachers dating students, even if they're guest instructors."
Dropping her cutesy persona, albeit only for a moment, Pixie-bob clicked her tongue. Because of her catty persona, she was at the age where she had an almost overwhelming desire to find a strong and capable mate. As her name implied, it had taken her much longer than other girls to mature fully, so it wasn't until a few years ago that she began feeling 'impatient' about finding love. The problem was that she was only really attracted to promising young Heroes since she knew any men her age would turn into old farts within a few years...
Regaining her usual pep, albeit after licking her lips, Pixie-bob assured, "Don't worry, Sensei. I might tease him a bit, but I won't take things too far. Pinky promise."
