Chapter 14: Confidence

Third Person POV

"Fuukaaaaaaa," Keigo complained as they walked toward Tanaka's class in the train station, "Why didn't you choose to intern with meeeeeeee????"

Tanaka chuckled and explained, "Because I need a new perspective and someone with a different skillset to teach me more things."

He sighed and handed Tanaka her bag, "Well, make sure to stay safe during your internship, okay?"

She nodded and walked toward her class, not noticing as Keigo turned and grabbed a certain blonde boy's shoulder. "Hey kid, Bakugo, was it? I'd like to talk to you for a minute," Keigo said.

"What do you want?" Bakugo growled.

"I was just wondering what your relationship is with my Fuka," Keigo said in a slightly teasing tone.

Bakugo scoffed, "Bird brain? Psh, she's just a stupid extra who didn't give it her all during our fight."

 Keigo's eyes narrowed, his voice more serious, "Is that so? Then what's this all about?"

Keigo pulled out his phone and showed the picture of Tanaka and Bakugo cuddling, Bakugo's cheeks instantly turning slightly red. "It was her fucking fault, she couldn't sleep and I wanted her to fight at her best during the festival, so I helped her sleep," he grumbled out, embarrassed.

Keigo raised an eyebrow and said, "Look, I'm not dumb. I know that Fuka's beautiful and strong and holding her like that isn't just 'helping her sleep.' However, I also know that teenagers are gonna teenage. I'm not gonna try to stop you or anyone else from getting in a relationship with her. Just know that if you hurt her," a shadow fell over Keigo's face, "not even All Might could stop me from hunting you down."

Bakugo felt a shiver go down his spine, but he hid his fear with a scoff, "Yeah whatever, it's not like I wanna hurt her anyway you dumb bird."

Keigo's demeanor instantly shifted back to being carefree as he smiled, "Good, then we have nothing to worry about."

Keigo walked off, slyly waving to the 1-A girls who were fangirling over him. Tanaka just rolled her eyes and shouted, "Try not to burn the house down while I'm gone!"

Tanaka's POV

Keigo simply smirked and walked away laughing. Aizawa then told the class to be responsible and other rules before releasing them to their respective trains. Before I could leave, Midoriya grabbed my shoulder. "H-hey, I was wondering if I could have your number...? I want to make a class group chat that way we can all talk about our internships while we are gone. Plus, d-during school we can use it to arrange study groups and stuff..."

I smiled and grabbed Midoriya's phone, putting my number into it. "Have fun at your internship, Midoriya," I said before walking away. I got on my train and rode for a while until reaching Hosu. I looked at the address and put it into my phone, walking around until I reached a residential neighborhood. "What...?" I said to myself, then deciding to look up 'Miruko Hero Agency', only to remember that Miruko doesn't have an agency. I looked up, confused, only to be met with ruby-red eyes. "Tanaka!" Miruko exclaimed, "Glad to see you made it safely! Now, let's get you settled in so we can start working!"

I nodded happily and she turned around, walking toward one of the many houses. 'Ah, I see. I'll be staying at her house,' I thought to myself as I followed her inside. She guided me to a guest bedroom and said, "Get into some workout clothes."

I nodded and got changed into a tank top and some leggings before walking back out into the living room. "Follow me," Miruko says, leading me to a room that had a sparring mat and several punching bags and other exercise equipment, "During your individual fights, I noticed that while you do have hand-to-hand combat skills, you could be better. Your current fighting style is very dependent on the usage of your quirk."
