"Well that was amazing!!" Miyoko laughed as she and Caulifla..both looking a little banged up, but healed up thanks to the School Nurse, an old time Super Hero named Recovery Girl, strolled down the street with Tatsu and Deku following up behind.  "I mean, Freya whooped our butts in the ends.. cause.. well.. she's Freya.. but really.. AMAZING!!!"

Caulifla groaned as she stretched her arm a bit. "Honestly.. I think she threw out my entire skeleton.. my spine feels like it's not there anymore.. Yo! Midoriya.. sure this Recovery lady healed us..?"

"She heals wounds, but she uses your own energy to heal you." said Izuku. "So it's natural for you to feel more tired the greater the wound healed... she had to heal my shattered arms several times.."

"Sh.. Shattered arms!?" said Tatsu.

"Oh, you see my quirk comes with a bit of a risk to it. " said Deku quickly. "It used to get out of hand in a very dangerous way." 

"Dangerous?" said Miyoko. "How so..?"

"Well it was too powerful for my body to handle.. putting too much power into one arm could cause it to explode from the inside if not careful." said Izuku. "Thing is.. I need to keep my body trained and honed or else my body wouldn't even be able to handle the power of my quirk.."

Miyoko stopped smiling. "Hmmm.. you know.. I get it.."

"You do?" said Izuku with surprise.

"Well.. I recently got my own bit of problems with a new power I'm trying to learn to control.. and if I use too much of it.. my body suffers too." said Miyoko. "I'll leave it at that.."

"Yo.. by the way.. where's Freya?" Caulifla muttered. "We're supposed to send Mr. Qrow a Report together aren't we?"

"Ehh.. it only takes like one person to write it up." said Miyoko. "Freya stayed back to explore the school building, let her have a moment."

"Fine.. but don't make me help ya with that report, ya know how terrible I am at that stuff.." Caulifla grumbled. 

As the group continued to walk home, Tatsu looked up and blinked with curious interest at something in Izuku's hand. A journal of some sort? That he seemed to be writing in?

"Wh.. what's that?" Tatsu asked. 

"O-oh this!?" said Izuku, blushing. "er... it's my Hero Research Guide.. I've been studying heroes for years.. logging their moves, powers.. learning from it, and applying it to my own development in my hero career. Developing strategies and working solutions on how to be the best hero I can be.. that was always the purpose of writing these.."

Izuku opened the notebook and showed Tatsu a number of detailed sketches and notes he had compiled. 

"Th.. that's a drawing of Miyoko.." said Tatsu.

"Oh.. right.. it's just, well with the Hero Provisional Licensing Exams coming up after the Summer Training camp.. I've been debating trying to come up with a way to bring my quirk control to the next level." said Izuku. "Miyoko's whole Kicking Style has me interested.. she seems to have a similar combat style to Iida-kun.."

"Miyoko uses her own version of a Martial Art called the Black Leg style.." said Tatsu. "It's used by Mr. Sanji from our guild, whose a chef on a pirate ship.."

"A.. chef?" said Izuku.

"Apparently ruining their hands is like the one thing chefs don't want to do.. so a kicking based fighting style is like a must for them." said Tatsu. "If you want to learn more about it.. I'm sure Miyo-chan will be more than happy to show you.."
