Of Earth and Fist(Male Reader x Mirko)

Setting the Bar

Y/N POV

Kirishima helps me back to where the rest of the class was in the observation room. Everyone was in there looking intently at the screen. The next fight had already started and it was Midoriya and Ochaco vs Iida and Bakugo

I look at the screen and see that a large part of the building had been blown up and Midoriya looked badly beaten

"Damn what'd I miss" I ask

"A lot" Mina responds, "Apparently Midoriya and Bakugo were childhood friends turned rivals so this fight means a lot to both of them. Plus, Bakugo isn't holding back"

We watch the remainder of the intense battle. It ended with Midoriya blocking one of Bakugos explosions with his left arm and throwing a powerful punch upwards with his right. The punch shook the building and allowed Ochaco to catch Iida off guard and get to the bomb, earning them the win

The remaining matches went on fairly tamely. Everyone got to show off their quirks in interesting and creative ways. It was easy to tell who was more powerful than others. A couple of students stood above the rest in terms of raw power and talent, mainly Todoroki and Bakugo. I could tell that I was very far behind a bunch of the other kids in my class so that was a little demoralizing, but also motivating

"That's a wrap!" All Might exclaims at the end of the class, "Super work. You really stepped up to the plate. And, we didn't have any major injuries, except for Midoriya. You should be proud. Excellent first day of training, all around!"

"It's nice to hear some encouraging words after our home room class" Asui says

We're all reminded of Aizawa's intense teaching style

"Mr. Aizawa was kind of a buzzkill" Asui says

"I'm happy to bring such staggering positivity to my alma mater!" All Might exclaims, "That's all for now, folks. I should go check on young Midoriyas progress. Now, watch how a pro exits. Like he's got somewhere to be!"

Were all dismissed from class. We all go change back to our regular clothes before going to lunch. I got my food and sat down with Mina, Kirishima, Kaminari, and Sero. They were all talking about how cool All Might was but I was more concentrated on something else.

I thought about how I was gonna improve my fighting capabilities and my endurance before an idea hits me

"Hey guys" i say in the middle of their conversation, "Who of you can fight the best?"

"Why? You that desperate to learn to fight that you're gonna ask us?" Sero jokes

"Yeah well last time I checked I kicked your ass without needing to fight so shut the hell up" I respond, "But seriously, who of can fight the best"

"Definitely not me" Kaminari says, "Probably Kirishima or Mina"

"What do you wanna learn" Kirishima asks, "Strength or Speed cuz I know how to box and Mina knows Jiu Jutsu"

"Uh...a bit of both I guess" I say

"Ok well how about this, we'll workout 4 days a week and the other 3 days we'll do martial arts training" Kirishima suggests, "You guys ok with that?"

"Yeah I'm down" Mina says

"Thanks guys" i say, "I really appreciate it"

"Yeah man, we're classmates and more importantly, friends" Kirishima says, "We're supposed to help each other get better"

The three of us fist bump before finishing our lunch.
