Of Earth and Fist(Male Reader x Mirko)

Gran Torino

Midoriya POV

"Whoopsy" the old man chuckles, "I was carrying a nice big plate of sausages covered in ketchup when I accidentally tripped and fell. Clumsy me"

He looked like the definition of fragile. He even had a cane and trembled just by standing

"Now who did you say you were" he asks

"I'm Izuku Midoriya. From UA High School!" I say

"You're who now?" He asks, probably because he was deaf

"I'm Izuku Midoriya" i say louder

"So what's your name boy" he asks

I knew he was All Mights teacher so I knew he'd be pretty old, but I didn't expect him to be senile

"I could really use some food" he says

"Food?!" I exclaim

"Toshinori?" He asks

"Midoriya" i answer, "Excuse me, I just need to make and phone call"

I'm gonna call All Might and tell him the state this guys in. He's not fit to be a mentor. I was about to hit call when i heard some shuffling from inside the house. I look to see that the old man was rummaging through my belongings

"Hey, uh, wait, that's my stuff" i say

"Why don't you fire off a One for All smash at me?" He says, "I wanna know how far you've come in terms of handling its power"

Who was this guy? He definitely wasn't that same guy from when I first got here

"This is a pretty good costume. Now where's that attack" he says

"But sir..." I start

"Hey, what're you doing here?" He chuckles

He was right back to his senile ways. What the heck is with this guy?

"I'm here because I need to learn how to control One for All" I explain, "I have to get so much better at it, and fast. I'm also here because I don't know if All Might had much time left. I'm sorry, but I can't waste my whole week messing around like this sir. I hope you'll excuse me"

I start to walk out the door

"As I thought" Gran Torino says

I turn around and he was gone. I look around and see him flying across the room, bouncing off the walls and furniture and stuff

"It's time for you to show me what you can do, ya newbie" he chuckles, "I watched the UA Sports Festival on television. The way you used your power was unthinkable. Reckless! He's not training you well. He may be the symbol of peace and the number one hero, but All Mights a total novice when it comes to teaching. I can only imagine what a blunder he is in the classroom."

Hey, All Might calls us newbies too. Plus he has two sides, sometimes playing dumb. This really is his teacher

"I can't stand to watch you use your quirk that way so i suppose I'll have to teach you. Now, hurry and get your costume on" Gran Torino says

"I'm ready! Teach me everything" I say

I go over the my hero case and see a note attached to it

Dear Izuku Midoriya.

As we made repairs to your costume, our designers decided to make a few changes in regards to materials and appearance.

Thank you for understanding

(But trust me, it's gonna look a whole lot cooler!!!)

The support crew had made some adjustments to my hero costume after my fight with Bakugo during our first training exercise, and frankly it was really cool
