Beast In The Woods

Work Study

Izuku and his pack stood in the gym with Mirio across from them. He was casually stretching a bit more than should be possible as he twisted his torso almost 180 degrees around his waist. All the while bones popped as Izuku sighed in relief at the good stretch.

"We've got this! It's 20 on 1," Kaminari said cockily while he crossed his arms.

Kacchan slapped the back of his head with a scoff of derision. "You think 20 of us can take on our feral class president if he tried? No, so don't underestimate sunshine over there." He nodded toward Mirio who was beaming a smile.

"Oooh, Kacchan was that a compliment?" Toshi said snickering. He dodged the grasping hand as he chuckled all the while.

"Shut it, troll hair!" Kacchan yelled.

Mirio clapped his hands and rubbed them together. "Alright! You all can start whenever."

"Watch and learn, nerds," Kacchan said as he blasted forward toward a still Mirio.

The first blast tore the clothes away to show Mirio still standing there, undamaged and nude. Most of the pack yelped in surprise and covered their eyes reflexively. Most of the guys used to Izuku's casual nudity in the locker room, ignored it and focused on how Mirio escaped the blast.

Kacchan's trajectory was skewed from the 'missed' blast and he veered off course.  Mirio took the opportunity to dash forward while sinking into the ground like a buggy game. He erupted fist-first into the gathered first years with blinding speed. No attacks landed on him as he dashed between each one of them and left them on the ground. Todoroki managed to last a bit longer as he propelled himself into the air with an ice pillar but Mirio swam up the ice like it was liquid and brought him next to his packmates.

"Hmmm." Izuku hummed in thought as he watched Mirio devastate his pack. "He can turn in... in... not being able to be touched." He said, giving up on the word. He crossed his arms as Todoroki was taken out and Mirio disappeared. "He's fast too." He finished saying as Mirio appeared under him with a fake out by going to poke his eyes out.

Izuku didn't hesitate and swung his fist with all his might as he ignored the idea of his eyes needing to be regrown. His fist phased through Mirio but it caused him to stumble for a moment. His other hand phased through his face as well, the attack forgotten.

Mirio's top half appeared farther away as he stared at Izuku. "How did you know the hand going for your eyes wasn't going to hit?"

The feral boy shrugged. "I didn't, I was just planning to regrow them with the benefit of breaking a few of your ribs, maybe a ruptured organ or two with my punch."

"Oh ho! A regenerating quirk. How tricky." Mirio clapped and disappeared just as Kacchan landed an explosion where he was a moment ago.

Kacchan snarled in agitation as Mirio disappeared. He guessed his target was Izuku so he flew over there just in time to see him appear behind Izuku with a strike to his side. Without hesitation, Izuku swung his hand back like an ax but phased through his neck. With a more animalistic growl coming from Izuku, Mirio disappeared just as Kacchan arrived too late again, he yelled in annoyance.

"I don't like fighting him, it's annoying." Izuku snarled as he was crouched down and ready to strike.

"You and me both," Kacchan said, his back to his in a similar position.

The upperclassman appeared just like before, he was shaking his hand as if to get rid of the pain. "What are you made of?" He chuckled.

"Quit running away, you coward!" Kacchan yelled but didn't waste time chasing him down.
