Itsuhi Osatou-Story of the Atom Manipulator (My Hero Academia)

What It Takes To Be A Hero Pt.2

The next day,she of course followed the duo to the shore,and hid behind a pile of junk.They were talking about a quirk...'Is it All Might's?One For All...Deku will inherited?!' she thought and covered her mouth to not make a sound as they continued.'They have a plan?They'll use an American Dream plan?That's a bit funny to me...poor Izuku...I really shouldn't laugh at him...he seems determined...' thought Itsuhi and smiled.

"I am determined too!You can do it!We'll both do it!" she whispered.

And so the months passed by,Itsuhi trained everyday in the same spot of the lonesome park,which by the end looked as if a mine exploded.Though the first 5 months she would bruise herself up so bad,a few times stubbling back home.She would cover them,go to work and school and act as if nothing ever happend.She would sometimes collapse from the exaustion,but get right back up,it isn't like she hasn't endured the same treatment for years.The pressure on her body got worse and worse though,the whole left side-burn of hair transformed to a white color.Itsuhi was wreckless when it came to training,her grandmother was worried but kept her mouth shut.She would tend to Itsuhi's wounds when she arrived home and sigh heavily.Itsuhi would thank her with a goofy smile,then go to her room where she would try to find ways to reduce the impact.

"So...one way of minimizing effects on my body is controlling the point from which I can take atoms and knowing it's complete mass...But that's impossible!I can only assume....THAT'S IT!I need to assume it,even if I'm off a little,my body's still only going to absorb how much my brain thinks it is,well,If I get the quirk under my control better,that is." she mumbles to herself while doodling the plan of her,the quirk and the park area.

"Maybe meditating will help getting control over my body and mind?I'll try that." She says as she doodles herself in the lotus position,giggling a bit.

After this,she kept her idea and would meditate before using her quirk.Which turned out great for her!Even though she had yet to dominate the quirk,at least she could now only focus on one point of matter and use a smaller amount of atoms.This made the restraint subside and she wouldn't get headaches and nosebleeds,or in the worst case,openings on bruises as much.She wouldn't go flying at the air pressure anymore,but would sometimes stumble back.She still had mistakes when it came to the quirk,but was getting results from so much training and planning!The way she moved became more precise and agile,but aggressive nevertheless.

She would practice one-on-one combat with her friend,Hikaru.They were both good at it,but to them it felt like a bonding experience.They would discuss the exam and try to best eachother sometimes,but this happend because of Itsuhi's competitive nature that seemed to over come even something that isn't a race.

She would sometimes visit Izuku at the shore,where she would always take some of the trash,either try recycling it or take it somewhere else.She heard about Izuku needing to clean the whole shore to finish his training from his mumbling at school.Everyone else was petrified at his mumbling,but she found it cute and funny because she would sometimes do the same thing.Though they wouldn't see each other as much,either one was working or training and always made excuses,they talked on the phone before sleeping to keep in touch.Izuku knew it took from the hours of sleep recommended on the plan,but he wanted to know what Itsuhi was doing.He could see her swaying from side to side or walking limp,and bandages on her face or legs all the time.She would either change the subject or explain she fell and hit herself or she wasn't getting enough sleep,but to him it felt off,though he wouldn't bother too much because he thought it would make her sad or uncomfortable.

"The last day of training is more nerve-wrecking than the actual exam,If that's even possible!" says Itsuhi to Hikaru while pouring a guy's coffee.Hikaru was at the cash register.

"I know,right?!Good thing you suggested we take the morning shifts,so we'll train a lot more!This shift is the shortest,how did you even manage to switch with the girls?" asked Hikaru,before someone came to pay their order.Itsuhi sighs."I only asked them once and they gave it because they thought I was going to beat them up.They were mumbling something about me having a crazy look in my eyes...like very determined to take the shift from them,which I was but I didn't have to do a lot." She says cheekily and stuck her tongue out.Hikaru chuckles. "Well,they were right,you do have a very intense stare at times!" "Hmph,I do not!"
